I picked up this kit about 1.5 months ago for the same price. I have them on the mb in my sig. They're very picky on this board for some reason.Quote:

Thats a great price for what this ram can do!
I have the DDR2-1000 set, i have been running 1068 stable at 2.0v (5-5-5-12).. I've never been big on overclocking ram, but I'm temped to see what my set can do :shrug:
Nice ram guys, just got a new kit meself to go with the rig in sig, just stressing fsb:ram @ 495mhz 1:1, had the odd error in orthos, soooo more fsb an Nb volts and i hope all will be well.. Then the full timin tweaks after i can gain full stability. Gonna have to wait for the cpu oc's i dont think my cooler will cope :(
Had some real issues with vista64 os on this rig, was gonna buy the p35 mobo then decided i needed sli at the last minute, me greedy as ever for me games :D
Seems to be doing what i bought the rig for (fast gaming 2day), and am very happy your forum pages pointed me in the right direction. Will keep yall posted when i get some good results, dont seem right to have gotten so much good advice from extreme forum an not put nuffin back in.
As ever upwards an onwards :yepp:
Hi
I have tweaked my memory for many hours/days now and 535/1070 is max with divider.
But now i run 520 1:1 2.0v 5.5.5.3.15, most likely is my cpu stopping me from going further. 525+ shouldnt be a problem for DFI P35, just having a 7x multi makes me regret buying a 6550, when 8x 6750 was just a bit more expensive :(
What is the max clock with Timings: 5-5-5-15 and 2.2 and 2.3 v .Thanks
I cant get past 535, tried relax subtimings and trfc to 56, 2.4v and 5.5.5.15 timings. Can't get past.
Had about 4 errors in memtest @540 with test 5 looped 10 times.
well, i will not get past 534
but 504mhz is stable at 5-5-4-15 with trf at 45 and other low subtimings, actually thats all i need with my E8400 at 9*420 with a 5:6 divider, so i am quite happy
Didn't really help, I was able to reduce the Memtest errors to zero at 565Mhz by advancing the skew 300ps, but it feels on the hairy edge of stability there. At 570Mhz, I get about 6 errors, with TRFC at 55(60 or 65 too), Voltage at 2.2, and skew advanced 300ps. So I'm calling this set of sticks capped at right around 565, very happy with 550Mhz though. :up:Quote:
Try TRFC @ 54-55.Quote:

Tried 565Mhz but it was a no go at any timings, and up to 2.2V...
Mine did 540Mhz till one broke... (that was a month later) I wouldn't go over 533 if ya want to keep these a long time...
How much voltage did u use?Quote:

It's not guaranteed.
The highest I could go with mine was 1056 to pass Memtest86+
DFI mobos has very tight subtimings if u run AUTO. My tip is checking out The official threads of your mobo. Ive got my subtimings from the Official DFI P35 thread, otherwise it's alot of try and error.
Have you tried raising your FSB? I couldn't hit 533 @ 2:1 either.Quote:

Can someone explain strapping to me please? I looked and I cannot find anything that explains strappings in details and what it does. The reason I ask is that I cannot run these sticks at 1003Mhz with my FSB at 400x9, this is the 400Mhz strap, however if I put them at 1080Mhz with my FSB at 450x8 it runs like a champ, strapping is at 333Mhz. I just cannot grasp the strapping concept and it seems that ram on my MB does not like anything other than 333Mhz strap. I just need an explanation so I can figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,

Nice RAM, I am running 535mhz due to my settings on my E8400. So far rock stable. Great bandwidth.
EnJoY: -Any Ideas on my timmings to reach 565 mhz 24/7 ? I have tryied the TRFC 55 and 2.2v already.

Try setting your 3's to 4's and your refresh to 60.

Is anyone running this set of RAM with an ASUS P5k Deluxe Wifi-AP motherboard?
And if yes, have you ever had any problems with the board not POSTing?
Thanks in advance.
