Ok, disregard my previous post. I'm onto it now. Now I feel like I can ask you specific questions regarding MY screenshot vs your First Screenshot.
I don't know how to verbalize this other than the fact that what I have circled is the only difference between mine and yours in memset. (noted u were using a beta version???) Anyway, on my screenshot down at the bottom , the # is 3. Ur's is 4. Both of ours are greyed out.
Now look at the top circle........3. Ur's is 3. I noticed when I changed this number from 3 to 4, the bottom circle (greyed out) also changed from 3 to 4.
???????????????? It's definately a correlation, although I have no idea what it means.
Except this maybe?? > my middle circle is performance level 6. Yours is 5. As soon as I hit 5 and set, my puter locks hard.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the correlating #'s I posted above.
At any rate, I'm thrilled I'm on the right track now. Got any advice on this?
I have a little problem with these sticks, maybe someone could help
They work fine up to 530Mhz with dividers.
1:1 500Mhz is a nogo, as it won't post, i tried using SetFSB but there are a lot of Errors with HCI Memtest. Loosening Subtimings didn't help.
Now I'm testing 495Mhz 1:1, it passed 10xIntelBurnTest with 3GB Memory
and 500% Coverage with HCI-Memtest, but my Firefox is occasionally crashing :confused:, even at FSB480, what could this be, as I've no idea, because it passed a lot more stressfull programms.
I'm running an E8400 on GA-P35C-DS3R [vMCH 1.3V,vDIMM 2.0V BIOS (seems to drop heavy under load)]
lol...it's not your ram, it's your FSB.Quote:

Haha...awesome job! 3.5GHz with that Q6600 looks great! What voltage is it at? :D
TOO damn hot. Can't give a hard number but I feel comfortable saying it was in the 1.45 -1.46 range. (auto setting......I know I know)Quote:

What were the temps? As long as load was under 60-65c...no need to worry.Quote:

yeah, well that's the problem. LOAD. Idle/just messing around and stuff didn't raise any red flags. I'm sure by now you've heard of realtemp (duh) and the awesome work unclewebb is putting into that app. That "sensor" test he has on there, with the cool down page............I wasn't touching that thing with a 10 foot pole.Quote:

You have just bought a brand new PC, not overclocked a thing, read every word of every page of the manual. Finally boot into windows. Be it 98, XP, or Vista. Right? When in the hell has that EVER been "stable". ? :rofl:
So I'm struggling now with a deeper thought of "what is stable?"
Anyway. Can't thank you enough EnJoY. The only way I think I could ever repay you is to teach you how to cook some southern BBQ.
Now if I can just get my head around VTT/vFSB/PLL, GTL .......not to mention what my board says in bios vs what is actual....I think I'll be on my way. By then, you'll be on to i12's with 16 cores....and then I'll come looking for you again. LOL.
Well, for my 2 cents......I didn't get these sticks in the hopes they would be great OC'ers. I got them 100 % based on EnJoy's review.Quote:

I loved these sticks cause they were the right price ($44 now guys) and for someone like me who is re-learning all this stuff....it just made since to me to have so much wiggle room with these. I love em'. I knew I loved em' before I even took em' out of the box. In fact, I still have the box.
I have the exact kit. the G-skill pc2-8000 1000 Mhz 2x2GB kit. and mine were terrible. they could not in ANY way hit the 1000 MHz 5-5-5-15 spec's.. at the rated 2.1v or even at 2.25v they still couldn't
I was not happy with this ram. it wasn't stable at rated speeds. the highest I could get this RAM to be STABLE on my 750i was 933 Mhz and not even at 5-5-5-15. you think being at 933 it could stay tight, but mine could not. I was at 5-6-6-19 at 933.. anything higher, or tighter I'd get bluescreens and have issues. yet they passed hours and hours and hours of memtest86.
I actually about 10 minutes ago just installed my New Corsair Dominators 2x2GB kit of PC2-8500C5D's.. these are badass RAM chips. they are on same board the G-skill failed on. running at 1066, and 5-5-5-15-22 with NO problems so far. I'm about to run memtest now... before the G-skills would crash if I was on this long even at 1000.
Maybe I just got a weird set. I don't know. but they never had an error. and they were ROCK solid at 933 and lower. but anything else was pushing it. Now they'll just have to be my back-ups.
Ummm...if your sticks don't run at the rated speeds and timings with the rated voltage...then you RMA them.Quote:

So I'm thinking of combining this set of 2x2GB G.Skill DDR2-1000 with a pair of 2x1GB G.Skill "HZ" (D9GMH ICs).
Anyone have an idea as to how this would affect my overclock (ie. timings, voltage, maximum CPU potential)? Current setup:
E7200 @ 3.6 Ghz (400x9)
2x2GB G.Skill @ 500 Mhz (5-5-5-15), 2.0v
Asus P5K Deluxe Wifi/AP
Both sets of RAM will be actively cooled (ghetto-mounted 100mm Scythe Kaze-Jyu fan).
Thanks in advance. :)
Think of the best timings and speeds you can achieve with just the PQ's...then add .1 or .2v and you can probably achieve close to that with the two sets combined.
@xguntherc you should have RMA'ed that set.
Mines are still going strong at DDR2-1068, 5-5-5-12, 2.05v (2x2gb). I bought 4x1GB of D9 tracers. But i found out that Gigabyte X38 boards have serious issues running 4 sticks of 1066 ram. :rofl: .. :shakes:
whats the difference between,
http://www.memoryc.com/computermemor...pc28000pq.html
and
http://www.memoryc.com/computermemor...iescl5kit.html
all i see is the heatsink, but will the blue ones still be better according to manufacturing and so on?
I have a set of the 4GBPQ in my Quad build at 534fsb at 2.09v with the Quad at 3600 at 1.36v running very stable for about three months now, very nice sticks indeed for the money.
Same chips, should be nearly identical.Quote:

Hi guys! I'm new here, don't be surprised of my bad English because I'm Russian speaker.
I have a question, i can't get it stable on 1000mhz even when i set voltage to 2.2v. Default MCH voltage seem to be the problem, i have to increase it with +0.1v to run them on their promised 1000mhz, is it normal with this sticks? With +0.1v on MCH the sticks work just fine on 2.0v with timings 5 5 5 15 en PL4.
Other hardware: E4400-3ghz, EP35-DS3, these sticks, ati 3870, antec psu 32A.
hwoarang5 I'ts not such a thing some1 can explain in few words, u have to RTFM, it's the best way to clock your system.
If you don't want to raise the power/voltage then just clock it until it fails and then back off a bit. There's not much more to do if you don't want to change the voltages from stock.Quote:
