I KNOW they cannot. ;)
Thanks
keep up the good work
Well don't get me wrong there, no need to getr all messed up, temper temper.... I just meant they are dead cheap for being PC8000 sticks...( I payed over 400 dollars for the first Mushkins 4Gb kit ) and here in Belgium some PC6400 kits retail at the same price as these babies...
But it's known that for 24/7 use you better run them at stock or at 1066Mhz max to keep them a long time... the speeds I tested are for bench sessions only... and these sticks don't clock as good as 1Gb stick which most peeps tend to forget...
Hope it's clear now (english is not my mother language you see)
No problem.
When ever I see "noob or peep" sometimes I take it incorrectly. This is my 1st build (comming from Dell oem crap, I got tired of being ****** by Dell in my costly upgrade attempts. My 1st computer was a Commedor64.
Anyway, is 5-5-5-12 @ 1000mhz ok for 24/7 use? I saw some on this thread were running that. Thanks
if ya sticks can handle it , no sweat... I run mine at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15
Mine are still running strong at 1068 5-5-5-12 @ 2.05v :up:
It's strange that I can't run anywhere close to Performance Level 4 with these. With everything the same, on IP35 Pro, PL 6 is what is set in Memtest. If I try 5, instant lockup.
Otherwise not bad so far, but I'm a bit confused when setting timings in the BIOS, then seeing different numbers in Memset...
Performance level 4 with what MHz? That's pretty tough for 1000MHz 2GB sticks.
I can run PL4 at 1000.
Performance Level / tRD is highly dependent on FSB. Run high FSB, and you'll have to loosen up tRD big time. Run low FSB, and you can tighten it.
I run 400x9 4:5 to get 500mhz.
I run 400 so my CPU kicks down to 2400Mhz at idle and only uses 1.1-1.2 volts. Works like a dream. If I did 500 1:1 I'd only kick down to 3000Mhz. The TDP is quite different between 2400 1.15v and 3600 1.35v ;)
Anyway I'm rock solid at 500 5-5-5-3-15 2.0v. I needed an upgrade from my 2Gb Ballistix because I was getting memory errors in Photoshop. At first they wouldn't boot, but a quick jump on here found that I needed to change my tRFC to 55. The Ballistix liked 30 at the same 500mhz 5-5-5-15 2.0v setting.
My other timings are:
4
55
6
14
11
3
8
5
4
2600T
2T
I just picked up a second set and they are running just fine in my DFI X38, 8 gigs may be a bit much for me but for the price I couldnt pass it up.
No the highest I can run my board stable for 24/7 is 478 fsb, I am running them at 450x9 for 4050Mhz because I dont think the extra 300Mhz is worth the strain on the system.
I have not attempted 500 FSB with 4 sticks because it is flakey with just 2 @ 500, I think it is more my lack of skill than hardware though.
Had my brothers set running 550mhz 5-5-5-15 1:1 @ 2.1V on his TP45 HP... That was only with about an hour of testing. I'll test further later today.
can someone tell me a nice ram config to push it through orthos ?
if i select stress cpu AND ram it crashes.. must be the ram..

I have 2 kits of this DDR2 and both run great @ 1000mhz 5 5 5 15. thanks OP for posting your results too!
ive problems to get this ram 2x2gb stable in memtest+ for 500x8. 1:1
tryed default, 5-6-6-20-72, 6-7-7-20-105 etc eg w/o success
i also tryed some settings from this thread...
any help 8( ?
