My 9200's can't go above 1090 but I also have POS mobo and POS CPU.

And, I seem a bit lazy to try to go further, I have no reason to unless I'm doing everest or something.

Oh, I forgot...I can boot at 1180 in Single Channel @ 1.82v but I got lucky, had 21,000 errors in 20 minutes of memtest86+. How the heck to you boot into windows for 10 minutes and shut down with 21,000 errors lol.

Oh, wait, nevermind.:p:

Actually you are correct. I could not boot with 5:6 divider using the LV Plat's, I honestly thought it was the ram that was the problem. The only divider that I could use was the 250A 4:5. Thursday I got the GSkill pc2 96004gbpi, put them in and could not boot using the 240b, or 250a divider. After a bit of frustration I used a single stick and finally booted with 250a, then put the second stick in and made it to windows but bsod. After a few hours of messing with this I took the rev1.1 board out and put the older rev1.0 board in. Went to bios and set up for 4500mhz 240b 5:6 1200mhz mem and booted to windows, then passed 8 hours prime blend. Another guy from XS is having this same issue with his rev1.1 board.

Hey,

I´ve a question: Is the OCZ 1200 comparabe to the performance of DDR3 1333 or even 1600, mainly referring to games?

thx for your help!!

ps: my system: 955 be, gigabyte ga-ma790x ud3p 790x am2+

Depends, DDR3-1333 CAS 7 will be trumped by CAS 5 DDR2, DDR3-1600 CAS 7 is not much different.

are't difference between 1200 cl5 and 1600 cl7?

Well, in the real world...okay, 1600 CAS 8.

It depends on the memory controller also, you have to factor that in.

guys as long as you run 1200+ not much difference 5%
but if you on p45 there is especially if you on a gigabut board bandwidth suks bad:down:
but 1600 cas 6 is nice:D
next stop 2000+ cas 7:D

First post here, yay. I figure I'd start here and submit my Blade 9200's for approval by the experts :)

try 500x8 n 4-4-4-12 @1000mhz if you can't do 1200

I wish I could. I have a really evil FSB hole from about 495mhz to 515mhz.

I think we all know by now you dont like GB, but seriously have you even used one of there newer boards to know how bad they suck? Since twilight was kind enough to post some numbers for the p5q, which I also have and know what it can do, ill post some for the ud3 at the same settings. They may not be what a dfi p45 can do but I wouldnt say they suck. :up:

Better than mine on the same settings. Cool :)

I'm having trouble keeping it stable like this though. Probably has to do with having 8gb of the stuff.

Yea its definitely harder to get 8gbs stable vs 4gb, just keep at it youll get it. :up:

Just when I think it may be stable it usually ends up doing something stupid. I'll keep it at all stock settings, except for volts, and then suddenly it'll fail Prime. I'm at 1.9v right now and I dont want to push higher. I'm not even sure I want to keep it at 1.9.

Edit: Just failed prime (quickly) at 1120mhz.

Maybe a Fellow P5Q series user has figured this one out. I can boot up to over 500FSB with my CPU and board, so want to settle on 481FSB 24/7. Heres the weird thing, all my voltages and settings are good but my PC9200 errors all over the shop in HCI memtest. Theres nothing wrong with the memory, I've tried it @ 1162 with a lower FSB and most other settings the same as below and its fine.

Settings:

FSB: 481
FSB strap: 333
memory: 1156
Timings: 5-5-5-18
DRAM read control: disabled
DRAM read training: disabled
mem oc charger: enabled
Transaction booster: manual
PL: 8
Vcore: 1.38v
Vmem: 1.84v
GTL: .61
PLL: 1.52v
NB: 1.3v
SB: 1.2v
FSB Term: 1.3v
LLC: enabled
CPU/PCIE spread spectrum: disabled

I've tried numerous clock skew settings, .63 GTL ref and different FSB termination voltages but nothing seems to work :mad: any ideas?

I'm still struggling with my mobo (zsamz_'s fault), but here is the same FSB & PL with my Pi.

Pretty close...
I'm having trouble getting over 1230 stable :(

I run mine up to 1.9 for higher clocks but I also keep a fan on them, if you dont have one on them id try it out.

It has to be this RAM combined with this board type causing the problems. With your moded BIOS (thanks btw) this board could hit 600mhz FSB on my old RAM. I kept a 24/7 setting of 520mhz FSB at ~4.2ghz. The Blades I cant keep stable at 1150mhz with anything above 345mhz FSB. [EDIT: I may be wrong, my motherboard may be dieing, I'm starting to look into this further....]

In order to get that screenshot I had 1.9v into the RAM, and 1.56v PLL. I was pretty unstable though.

I'm in the market. I have an old OCZ XTC cooler but its too short to accommodate the blades heatsinks.

well i ner told you to get that board:rofl::rofl::rofl:
but them pi kick ass
mine were stable @ 1333 for 24/7
i bet i could get that set to do 1300+:D

I managed to get stable at 432mhz FSB and 1150mhz on the RAM. I dont think its going any higher than this.
