Exactly, that is why I wish I had one, I should've worded that differently :P
I am building a water cooling setup next week and ordering it, for when I buy my opteron 170 to match this memory's clock 1:1 :P

200mhz, 3.9us is 3072 in the biosQuote:

hmm, well simply swapping stick order nets me about 5mhz, so you never know until you try :p:
can you guys please post how much vdimm you're using?
2.73v atm, still working at 300mhz.. almost got 296.68mhz prime stable :toast:
With what motherboard? DFI boards seem to overvolt by about .07-.09 on the vDimm (not sure about expert/venus). My Expert is reporting much much lower values than what I set in BIOS
Sensors for Vdimm though seem to be dead on, IMO they are trustworthy. With my ultra-d set to 2.6, I get 2.66 in BIOS and 2.66-2.67 fluctuating with DMM
edit: don't trust software readings for Vdimm though, only BIOS

From a thread @ the DFI Forums, I'd like to take my fluke to the mosfet, but I am scared I might slip and short something, at least with everything being in the case. I might solder a wire to it with a molex at the other end like I did with my Ultra-D so I can measure vDimm at my whim
Edit: My BIOS reports a much lower vDimm than what I set for it, I don't mind this, but I want to know what the vDimm is, which would involve testing it with a DMM
hehe, i guess you didn't really read the thread :p:Quote:

Haha, I read it, its been a while, I knew it was a DFI at least :P
These sticks are looking damn nice, I did the suggested settings (nice and tight) and they passed OCCT test and are running Super Pi right now, after that I am pushing the HTT up :banana: :banana:
yeah, i suppose it has.. plus it doesn't help that i don't have the specs in my sig :p:
you still at 250mhz? :D

Haha yup, I tend to take my time, patience is good, and I'd want to make sure they are stable at stock before pushing and finding out I can't get them stable because of that :P
On a side note I just touched em and they are damn hot, no active cooling yet, I figured 5B-F wouldn't need it, guess I'll have to slap an 80mm on it. Active cooling the memory on this expert is a PAIN with the SI-120 because everything is so crammed, check these out:
http://webpages.charter.net/throughte/pc/ (didn't want to clutter thread with pictures)
At least with my Ultra-D I can easily mount a 92mm fan without any clearance issues (have to switch the top fan to a 120x25mm though)
And thanks for making those charts OPB they helped a bunch :)

5/3 or 5/2?Quote:

is there any way to sorta.. reconfigure that fan to make it overhang a bunch? :toast:Quote:

One thing I have seen is someone glue a fan to the fan so it overhangs on the side, but in this case it won't fit :(
OPB, does DS and DDS effect the temperature of the memory?:confused:
drive strength is kinda dependant on the ram chips and the memory controller.. when you get the memory controller really cold, it seems to overdrive a bit from what i can tell, so lower drives are needed ;)
but without a phase unit, i'm not real well versed in this. OPB can probably be a bit more explicit :D
Actually, as you get colder, it seems memory controller on the cpu is affected in an adverse way. By lowering the drive strength, you're allowing the IMC to "relax" a bit and less emphasis is placed on it's functions. In turn, the system ends up relying more on the actual DDR's ability to run at that speed and perform necessary calculations.Quote:

Just received my new Team TCCD DDR600 and wow. That is all I have to say.
Well, I finally found them! Sticks that are capable of running 1:1 @ 10 X 280.
The Team Xtreem Apollo DDR600 TCCD line. I am currently running windows without a hickup at 280 mhz 2.5-4-4-8. I havent even taken these modules to 303 Mhz yet and the bandwith is insane. I would have to say that these sticks are currently the overclockers best bang for the buck 1gig set. Ben at Tank Guys has them in stock. Here is my initial screenie on first boot into windows, relaxed timings:

Hehehe....you still haven't yet pushed these sticks hard enough ;) Change your TRCD and TRP ->3 and drop the TRAS to 5. I think you'll like those numbers better......Quote:
