Guess i got the only sticks that like Normal strength then :confused:

At least you've received them, mine still haven't arrived :(Quote:

Just wanted to tell you guys my results from memtest for 9 hours @ 280
I had 403 errors, I think they were all test 8, but I couldn't scroll up to check it out (or I don't know which button to press :p: )
Test 8 is just a stronger version of Test 5, so I might fiddle with my drive/data on that instead of 5, I don't understand how judging one setting being more stable than another using super pi or prime :confused:

here is the general idea how memtest "for me " to do about
1. I only use memtest to know if my hardware setting is wrong
2. Test5 merely told me the primary timings settings
3.test 8 is about everything about voltages settings, LDT, vcore of cpu, vdimm and chipset....
again Don't count on memtest if you wanna tet your system stabilities.
Test 7 is I/O error :p: :DQuote:

Edit:
OPB, would you suggest upping the 3.3v rail to 3.35 or higher? Will it improve stability?
MAN im pizd..
Looks like mine rnt Crouns
Ozzi I set up my cpu-z next to urs and was working my settings up exactly as urs and couldnt come anywhere near what u were getting... I was at 270 same settings as u and crashing bawlz..
SO this is a SS of my cpuz next to urs

Just got off the fone with ben from TG and he told me to try to get some help from OPB in Xtreem support so thats where im going now..
Hopefully ill get some assistance soon as im going to shoot some pool in about 30 mins:slapass:
gotta pic of the stix?Quote:

Will have tomorrow mines currently broken guess its time to buy another digicam, and cell fone cam isnt all that great, ill try it thoughQuote:

Back on my Ultra-D :cool:
Sounds good, I'll do that right away :)Quote:

As for Philosophy, my sticks have the same SPD settings, I dunno why they are that way, but it seems like all 06 sticks are like that?
now that i think about it, i've always left my 3.3v rail at 3.4v.. no good reason :shrug:
guess it'll leave it there ;)
philosophy, i guess i'll run down to the support forum and see what's shaking, see if i can help out any too :toast:
edit: you said you're using the same settings? try loosening twtr to 2 and twr to 3.
Folks, please read this:

so no worries about the wrong values showing on the CPUZ...
With my OCZ 2x1GB kit with apparently the same IC's (Mircon -5B F), I am getting 270Mhz 1T 3-3-3-8 stable. 275 is a no go for the moment, I am working on it. This is all at 2.9v.
270 @ 2.9?!?!
I can run 270 with 2.7v with stock timings (the reference OPB made) prime stable overnight, going for 275 right now
Nice. I am sure I can get mine to 270Mhz at a lower voltage. I just read an article saying that 2.8-2.9v was the sweet spot for the Micron IC's and I am trying to get these dimms to 278Mhz. So far, I haven't been able to get 275, but I am working on it.Quote:

agreed, i only know of two reviews with teamgroup microns, my own, which show that ~2.7-2.8v is best, and the one at madshrimps :toast:Quote:

I understand. I appologize but I only have like 10-20 min a day at the moment to play with these because of work. Hopefully this weekend I can take time to try more than "auto" settings. Keep in mind that I have the OCZ dimms, with the same Micron IC's, and so my results might vary based on the fact that they aren't your model/brand.Quote:

"As a general rule of thumb, it appears that 2.8v is around the sweet spot..."
I think this is your article Mark... By sweet spot it seems that you were referring to about where performance to voltage increase ratio peaked out. I don't want to put words into your article, and so I should correct what I mentioned and say 2.8v as a sweet spot rather than 2.8v-2.9v. The range I gave was my recollection without reading it again and based on my interpretation of the graphs - it seems like additional voltage permits better performance up to 3.0v right? Considering that it would still be under warranty at that voltage, I would have no issue in running that speed with a little fan over the ram... :)
yup, that is indeed mine. it's kinda tough to say where the best settings are. for lower speeds and at 2T, extra voltage over 2.8v does help.. however, once i get to 3-3-3, 1T.. it seems that either my board still can't provide proper power at higher voltages, or heat is becoming too much of an issue. :shrug:
though at 2.5-3-3.. voltage sure does help :D
and i understand the time issues. no rush, it's more just that it's gonna be hard for me to give you much useful advice until i know what you've tried and what you're using :toast:
good luck :D
I assume the answer is yes, but does removing the heatspreaders on TeamGroup memory void the warranty? I'd love to get some better cooling on them if heat is an issue but I wouldn't want to void the warranty on some brand new memory :p:
