Got my 2GB EB sticks from newegg on Friday. So far so good.
2.6v 3-3-2-8@270MHz passed superpi 32M & memtest
2.6v 3-3-2-8@265MHz passed 3dMark 2005 loop test.
better than my previous Mushkin Redline 2GB which can only do 260MHz 3D stable.

can give somebody of you the settings for >280MHZ?
Hey thanks for confirming that. :)Quote:

Anything over spec will be gravy for me and while I know my mileage may vary it sounds like there might be some gravy to be had after all. I note your low volts....some here at XS believe we just haven't hit on the right timing/volts combination for these yet, while I read a post by one of the Gigaram tech guys saying it was a problem inherent in the IC's, though he did not know there was a 3D stability with Infineon chips until he was informed in that same thread, so who knows....Could you post an A64 tweaker shot of your 3D stable timings?Quote:

Damn I hate you hear that, There is a post I will have to look for it but Tony posted screens of his setup to get it stable @ 270 i went off it and tweeked it as I needed to get mine going good.
Right now Im testing my setting a bit tighter as i can't go any higher until i get my water cooling going, I tested my volts @ 1.57 and my ocerclock did get better BUT my temps are just too high for me so i trying this setting now
3-3-2-5 T1 im @ 265 Stabe for 1 hour Prime so later when I go to bed I will Prime more and see how long it runs, i am also going to game as we speak and see how these settings work. I love playing with this Ram to see how far it will push it both in MHz and Timings :D
andy or ryder
any settings for the dfi expert with 12-07 official bios ..
anything above 255 and it will just hang trying to go into mem test
im using a dual core opty 170 .. i had crucial ballistix before these ocz running 290 so i know my mem controller can handle it ..
jetjaguar, have you tried these settings:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15934
they didn't work for me, (opty 146 and a dfi expert) but my sticks aren't very good :( anything over 259 and my monitor goes crazy
Pyr0
yeap tried them .. my sticks suck as well .. thinking bout sending em back and getting some ocz gold gx uccc ones ..
anything above like 254 and when i go to load mem test .. it just hangs and reboots ..
i would love to swap my sticks for some different ones :rolleyes:
yeah, i wouldn't mind trying some ocz gold ones too :)
i might send them back to newegg .. and exchange for some gold gxs
Ok here are some different Pics i found when these first came out, they are from tony too, i saved them for future Ref. I can't find the post, but I do have these, don't know if they will help you but hey can't hurt.

Hope this will help you out .
Now I have been gaming for over an Hour @ 268 3-3-2-5 T1 not 1 problem these seem to be running good, it games all night at these settings but won't pass prime for any long periods of time, but they are gaming stable. Real Snappy at these setting too.
those settings are for the dfi expert ?
My main gold has been setting a config to be 3D stable with this htt

That on SLI-D? What BIOS?Quote:

Mikal I can run that speed only with 1 stick at time. I am not in dual channel. I want to run both stick with those settings ( explained myself bad sorry)
wouldn't the difference in bandwidth have anything to do with the different cpus? (monk is using ocz plat eb's too)
the dual cores have a lower memory bandwidth anyway :( :shrug:
It is for DFI NF4 SLI-DR like mine, I know its not for expert that MB was not out when These EB's came out and this was posted in the first week of these EB's coming out. I was just hoping you guys mite be able too use some of the info from them. I was Hoping this would help as a starting point anyways or maybe help :) Sorry i could not find any for Expert. :(
Oh and I think it is the 704-bta BIOS
I'm using that BIOS too, but the Data and Drive Str are different, like Normal 4,3,2,1 and Level 1,2,3Quote:

Yes, San Diegoes usualy have lower bandwidth while Venices have slightly higher, I think thats due to the cacheQuote:

anybody else try lower timings yet ? im looking into getting water cooling right now, so i know i will be able to get back up too the 275 to 280 1:1 range again, whats holding me back right now is the temps @ 11X multi because my cpu is maxing out on GHz without more volts.
I bought my set of EB Plats from Bytewize last Saturday and they still do not have them in yet even though there site claimed they where in stock and ready to ship out in 24 hours. Im giving them until monday evening then the search continues.
Here is a Link and they are in stock, don't know how much you were paying for them but they are in stock here.
http://www.us.ncix.com/products/inde...Z%20Technology
Thanks for the link, I saw that site the other day and marked it for an alternate just in case this situation occured. Atacom did the same thing to me also two weeks ago and I spoke with them. They claim they should have it in on the 14th. Bytewize was charging me 354.00 plus shipping and there sales people are having stock problems just like every one else it seems. I have a working set of Ballistix but they from the dreaded CL1115N.2R batch so perhaps its Ncix time.
I checked there inventory and it is in stock and it sounds like you will save a few bucks too :D I had the Ballistix too for a whole 4 days and BAM Dead lol but i was lucky these just came out the same week so i RMAed them for my money back and grabbed these, now Crucial has great RMA, but im not into send stuff back and forth 10 times to get the ones that work and these run cool to the touch, Yea they don't do 300 HTT, but im not out 100 bucks shipping sending them back every other week and not having my system up and running ;) Good Luck or your New Ram hope you get good ones that will do 280 HTT :)
I can only hope.
I got these back when they first came out. I have not installed Sandra though... Maybe ill give it a whirl later tonight.Quote:
