You know, I bet he did. :brick:

Guys don't fret. We've been making this ram for only a week so it will take time to fill the market. Just think...the time you wait may also see the prices drop which is good for everyone :)

cantankerous

price drops is good.. how about improved yields with better performance? A possibility or will the next 3-4 batches all perform the same?

not playing well with my AV8 and winnie...

265x9 fail P95
260x9 fail P95
255x9 fail P95
250x9 fail P95

1:1
222,10,12,16 @ 3.4V
booster in 1 or 2, mem in 3&4 (still need to test B=4 M=1&2)
would love to try higher V but mobo (MBM too) wont read >3.5...(ill be trying 3.6 on booster soon)

but remember this is a mobo that wont get BH-5 over 225 @ any V or timings

PS this wont be a very productive night but ill see what i can do...just wanted to put out the "first trys..."

Joe , Do you have another board ?

well I guess if you could only get 225 with BH-5 its not bad

Also please try 2.5-2-2 @ 3-2-2

Drop the multi another notch and try again mate. I suspect it's the mem controller needing voltage. Dropping the overall clock should have the same affect. I can't prime at 230x10 with ram at 230, but can if I drop the multi. I think everything with these winchesters comes down to this controller. If you're on water and can stick silly volts through the chip, cant see why you shouldnt be able to do well.

I bet it passes memtest doesnt it?

Can someone clarify trans am's question about bios vdimm setting when using booster...

ie. default 2.6v or auto?
12-02-2004, 05:07 PM
ryanpgroovy

either one will work

wow i may be able to oc this further then

trans am

I am having mixed results with the VX so far. I can't boot into windows at anything over 240x10 2-2-2-7 1T. tried volts from 2.9-3.5 my cpu is very capable of 2.6 and I can run my el4200 plat dual channel at 2.5-3-3-7 1t 280*9 3vdimm. However, I can use clockgen and agp/pci is locked. I can increase up to 260*10 and my best superpi was 32s 1m run. But when I tried to take screenie, I opened paint and system froze. Now I need ocz help. what is the best options right now? i've tried tras of 6, 7, and 10. Does tras 10 stress more than 6? I thought it did. see my sig for my testbed. Even trans am gets stuck sometimes. lol

I would try 2-2-2-10 , then 2.5-2-2-10 some people had luck lowering the Cas to 2.5 or 3

also I would work them up slowly , Thats the same thing I have seen twice now , went up to 240 to begin with and then after a while they could go up further.

I would stick with 3.3 volts for the time being and play around there

sounds good. Oh, I forgot to mention I was memtesting memtest86 ver.3.3 test 5 and had ram set to 250 and 260 2-2-2 3.3v and passed 1st loop, immediatley after beginning loop 2 the program freezes and had to hold reset button. This is odd since I would expect to see errors instead of just freeze during tests. ANyway, I'll try setting to cas 2.5 and trying agin.

Yeh burning in the ram makes a real difference

Do you reccommend burning the ram in @ stock or at a reasonably high oc'ed level like 250mhz 2-2-2-10 for VX?

Uh oh :(

Slightly depressing... maybe something else is causing the issue. Did you try 2.5-2-2-10?

When using the booster we usually just set the DDR Voltage to default and tweak from there. I does not affect performance if for some reason you would like to set the DDRv to 2.8 or whatever.

Does this help?
