Official GSkill 1gb-GH pc3200 2-2-2-5 info and results

Usually vdimm will be overvolted .5 - 7 volts for a given setting, so for example 3.1 = 3.17 real (go search for the dfi volt readout points so you can measure yours w/ dmm and know what it is for sure).
The new biosi allow the '+.3vdimm below 3.2' option below vdimm selection.
So if you're set @ 3.1 and enable the +.3, you usually end up w/ about 3.2 Vdimm. Turning that off and going to 3.2 will get the 3.27 probably.

I've been upping mine slowly (I limit myself to 3.3 Vdimm on general principle :D ) but I am up to 247 or 248 x 1.49vcore 3.2vdimm(?)(I fergit :hrhr: ).

Next time I reboot (over teh weekend) I will post my current settings here. (These gotta run OCCT w/ 900+ meg selected to test for 12+ hrs b4 I move on).

I got some wicked memtest results w/ TCCD and a venice on another machine so I GOTTA try on here and see if I can do it again!

The most right pin in the dimm slot is the Vdimm.
I plugged one wire of the multimeter in a molex and the other one in the dimm slot.
With bios 510-2 and the +.3 option on, Vdimm overvolts 0.9V.

I just managed to get the GH to 280Mhz @ 2.5-4-4-8 with 3.45v, I'm sure others can get them to go higher. Thats almost the same timings as my OCZ Plat Rev. 2s. I'll try see how far i can get with 3.1v. Will post a pic shortly.

Agent, can you provide some screenshots of your setting and let me duplicate it/them to see if I can OC my GH memory as well? I got my RMA back from OPB, but still not able to OC it to anywhere near what it can do according to many users' success story.

I would like a screenshots of your A64Tweaker, SmartGuardian and any others that you think will help me.

Thanks...

Try these: 255 @ 3.3v using the vDimm mod and relaxed timings.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/najmudd...ed_timings.jpg

I'm trying really hard to get 280 stable at 3.5v i'll post pics if i get good results. so far i'm only memtest stable, superPi & prime fail at the moment.

How much of a difference is there between Cas2 and CAS 1.5?

Zero for me, I've ran pcmark04, everest, superpi, sandra, aquamark, 3dmarks and didn't gain squat to go from 2 to 1.5, I'd also compare 1.5-2-2-5 to 2-2-2-6 on my Redline and didn't see any difference either!

I agree, there's hardly much difference between them, even when it comes to stability.

Agent, you are doing the very good job, I gotta try that vmod.

3.4g pi 1m

3384mhz, 1.58v same setting pi8m..
http://www.ocxtreme.org/onepagebook/...bn3384pi8m.jpg

wanna see 32m?no prob!!

http://www.ocxtreme.org/onepagebook/...n3384pi32m.jpg

So 1.5 CAS is just so you can say stuff like : OMG!!!11!! L00K @ m3 i beat teh 1337 CAS2 : if you like *I would*

Nice clocks opb! When are u gonna get the cascade up and running? 4Ghz doesn't look impossible with that chip :cool:

The vDimm mod is one way of avoiding the 5v rail and damaging memory as some have experienced. 255Mhz @ 3.3v is handy for those with X11 multi to test thier CPUs at 2.8ghz 1:1 and still keep the memory in the "safe" zone in terms of voltage.

I came across Geil's upcoming Ultra-X memory on Anandtech today - Rated at DDR400 1.5-2-2-5

"The new DFI nForce4 boards support CAS 1.5 as a BIOS choice, and possibly a few other high-end boards. CAS 1.5 sounds impressive, but AMD tells us that they do not support CAS 1.5 in their on-chip memory controller."

So CAS 1.5 is not of much use :slap: , not for the time being anyway on AMD, but I can't help wondering if/when they'll support it. I sure hope Geil know what they are doing tho. :)

Got these babies in my orange memory slots ATM running them at 260 Mhz 1.5-2-2-5 3.3VDimm.BTW the memory is 2Mhz faster at CAS 1.5(272Mhz maxed stable 3.6v) than CAS 2.0(270 maxed).May be is CAS 1.5 optimized :stick:

260Mhz 1.5-2-2-5 @ 3.3v is impressive :toast: . I wanna see how the 2x512Mb modules will perform. How about benchmarks results between CAS 1.5 and 2 at 260?

Running SuperPi 1M CAS 1.5 and 2.0 -exactly same condition and processes

1.5 is nanoseconds faster :stick:

Nice results Dumo :toast:

But what bios are you using?
Which memory slots (yellow/orange)?
And what dram and data drive strength settings?

Thanks :)

G.Skill BH-GH work well on Dothan, too!! The BH5-UTT will run on the i875/i865 chipset whereas the CH5-UTT will NOT.

That's a -65C chilly1 AUTOCASCADE.

Unfortunately the GBGH topped out at 255ish on the i875, so I had to run the 13x multi, giving only 238fsb.

:D

Wow you guys are having some grest results with these sticks! I was wondering are you guys having better luck with the yellow or orange slots and which bios 510-2 or the Hellfire 510-2?

I've only been using 510-2 and the yellow slots.

How would you guys say these G. Skill UTT-BH sticks compare to the OCZ Gold UTT-BH sticks? Do they overclock about the same or is the OCZ more hit and miss? I dont plan on using any more then the 3.3V jumper on my DFI board so i'm trying to figure out which would clock the best with that amount of voltage.

Does the G. Skill warranty only cover up to 2.9V? How come they dont support the higher voltages in their warranty like OCZ does?

The price just dropped on Newegg to $150.87. I just ordered a set.

$150?! Lucky u. mine cost £140 approximately $252. Doh! :slapass:

I had a set of the OCZ gold before the GH. They only went to 251Mhz prime stable. Eva2000 has some good sticks which are hitting 268 with an SD. I have to say, $150 for 1GB GH is an awesome price! I don't know about the warranty on them in regards to anything over 2.9v. I've ran mine all the way to 3.7v but i'm currently using only 3.3v. i'm hoping i won't need that warrany :)

Well, i'd really like to know what voltage their rated up to and how good G. Skills warranty support is in comparison to OCZ.

Ordered me a set of those GH as well... I am anxious to see how they perform like? :D

Mine cost me about 210euro though... Germany's shop trust sucks :(
Overpriced everywhere I found them. :slapass:

Let us know how yours performs as I'm not having any luck whatsoever with my pair. Not even 240 at super relaxed timings (2.5-4-3-7!). I am so very mad, I think I'm gonna stomp them under my feet. Crap! :mad: :mad: :mad:

You dont want to relax the timings like that on BH-5 memory. It will just perform like crap. Keep the timings around 2-2-2-5. How much voltage are you using? You may just need to burn them in or up the voltage more or get some cooling on them.

---

Yeah, i get all sorts of problems with CAS 2.5, especially with these sticks and relaxing a few other timings tends to give the same results. You want to use 2-2-2-x, find a good tref and optimal drive strength combinations - I'm assuming you're using a DFI nF4 board.

Send them to me instead :D (I'd even pay shipping :hrhr: )

Try with 3.2V@240-2-2-2-5 and if you run with 5V pin mod on your dfi, make sure the psu can supply enough juice...

I've been trying that combo for weeks, no luck. The conclusion was that maybe my particular board, a REV.AB0 doesn't like this memory for some unknown reason. I can OC my G.Skill value memory ZX better than this GH memory. AngryGames and RGone are not able to offer any useful hints. I wanted to RMA this board but they said I can't do that just because my board doesn't OC as well as I expected. I'm out of luck, but to sell my board. If anyone is interested in buying DFI board, go here and check out my For Sale thread: http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94170

You should of bought your board from Newegg and then you could of RMA'd it without any problem if you were having issues with it.

Yes, I did buy it from Newegg (the DFI). I tried to RMA it, they said I have to go thru manufacturer on the mobo. It's stated clearly on the sub-description, too.

newwegg seems to have taken the F1-3200BWU2-1GBGH out of their catalog.... crap 150$ was a great deal...

Mine ain't :(

Mine ain't even capable of 240 it seems... tried hundreds of different TREFs and driving strength settings...

And I should know how to set it up ;) Furthermore there's enough screenies around (in this thread for example).

I am not impressed I must admit... :nono:

Its back in stock at Newegg for $150.87 now.

I got mine today and i'm currently testing them out at just 2.9V 220Mhz 2-2-2-5. I start getting Memtest errors at 225Mhz at that vDDR.

Let's say @ 2.9V and you could do 220MHz error free in Test 5 that's real good already, not to mention 2.9 at 225 2-2-2-5.

BH-5 needs V to fly. My OCZ Value VX (BH-5) does 240 2-2-2-5 at 3.1-3.2 on DFI LP B.

my Gskill GH:

260@3.6V 1.5-2-2-5 1T dual 2x512

Price drop again at Newegg. Their down to $147 now.

What burn-in process are you guys using on these sticks? Do you just set a certain voltage and let Memtest test #5 run 6-8 hours at a time? Do you recommend using low or high voltages to burn-in? I dont plan on using more then the 3.3V jumper on my DFI Ultra-D.

Here with 3.6V....

is anyone here running this ram ASYNCHRONOUSLY? cos i'm having ALOT of trouble getting this to play nicely... i can hardly even boot into windows at an effective memory speed of 210mhz... i've tried up to 3.2v so far (not using jumper yet, it clearly isn't the problem, cos in 1:1 i can reach far higher mhz)...

if anyone is runing async and has this ram running beyond 230 for example, please post what bios you are using, what cpu u are using, and what settings/latencies (a64t screenie would be very nice)...

i'm using a venice 0517 EPMW 3000+, so i have to resort to ram dividers.

It looks like your using a Gigabyte board. I have a DFI NF4 Ultra-D and i've been running dividers on mine. I'm currently using a 166 divider to run the RAM at 233Mhz. I've tried the 180 divider on my board but Memtest just locks up so i dont know if its cause i need more voltage or if its just that divider doesn't work well. Dividers dont always work and sometimes you have to try different BIOS versions. Thats why i prefer DFI boards because there are always new beta BIOS's being released. And just FYI, Athlon 64's dont run memory syncronously, the RAM never runs insync with the FSB(HTT) speed. The RAM derives its speed using a divider against the current speed of the CPU. So even in 1:1 your still using a divider and running async. Thats why there isn't an impact on performance from using dividers like there was with the Athlon XP.

What do these guys get @3.2-3.3v?

I just ordered a set of these. I can't wait to see what they can do. How have they done w/ Neo 2s? I think I'm going to end up DFI SLI-DR and a 6600gt too. Don't want to let my Gainward 6800gt gs go, but I will have to. Oh well.

Just got this memory today and I can't seem to find anywhere up to what vDimm I can run it without voiding my warranty (with all the UTT dying lately I don't want to risk voiding my warranty). Anyone know?

Look at sig for specs.

I cant seem for the life of me , get 2gb of 4x512mb GSKILL PC32000 GH ram stable in my DFI NF4. I know to disable CPC , however for some reason if i try to do anywhere from 13x 210fsb-250fsb at very laxed timmings 2-3-5-3 it just wont pass test 5 in memtest. I am using 7-2 bios and running 3.4-3.53 in the vidimm. I know my ram is good for 13x 260FSB dual channel with my fx55 and vapochill LS, Memtest stable. The only way i can get 2gb stable is if change the divider to 166mhz instead of 200mhz 1/1 . After that i can do around 250fsb. I changed out the mobo with a new DFI Ultra and still exibits same errors in memtest with 2gb of ram. I can run stock saw 2.6-3 gighertz but as soon as i hit 3250-3300 i am bombarded with memtest errors.
The max i know my cpu can handle is fully stable at 3300-3400 mhz easy

I even tried disableing bank interleaving. still same . Any experienced overclockers out there know the issue to solve this?

You have to test all four sticks individually, and place them based on how well they OC in particullar Dimms.

Dimm1 (farthest from cpu) - strongest stick
Dimm2 - stong stick
Dimm3 - weakest stick
Dimm4 - weak stick

I think thats right from my memory. I will try to find my post about running 4x512 of GH and post link here.

here ya go:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=66638

BTW I gave up on the 4x512 gh and ran 4x512 of TCCD instead. Have since gone back to 1g conf.

Well i think i figured it out. I just need to run the 166mhz fsb instead of 200fsb. I can run it at 262 fsb 3.41 gighertz with 2gb of ram.. I already tested my ram and the 2 strongest are in my dual channel positions. i will check out your thread. I want 2 gb for BF2

When you get it all figured out please post reasults with timmings and tref in my thread ;)

I'm going to try all 4 sticks of GH again in my gaming rig next week and want a head start ! lol

Sounds exactly what i am going through in your thread. The ram is impossible to get stable using the 200fsb 1/1 ratio but works great with the 166mhz divider. Does any 4x512mb ram run around 240-260fsb at 1/1 ratio?

UTT-CH like Redline and VX do, and I didn't have any problems getting 290mhz out of 4x512mb TCCD.

Sure,

If its UTT-BH based it should run at max 2.8V 200Mhz 2-2-2-X

If its UTT-CH it will need 3.0V to run at 200MHz 2-2-2-X

This Gskill GH, is warrented to 2.9v. Thats said, the set I have atm, run fine 2-2-2-5-7-12 with 2.6v but 2.8v fails memtest. I'm getting a new set soon.

OPB,

I saw this was asked B4... but I didn't see an answer... will this RAM

work on NF2 Boards... specifically the Abit AN7 or Nf7-s... please let me know if getting 250 @ 2-2-2-11 can happen with this RAM... or if I should stick with my TCCD...

TIA

EDIT: OPB replied to tell me it should work just fine on NF2 boards, but will still need 3.2-3.4v of juice to make it shine... which is fine Cuz my AN7 gives me 3.2VDIMM stock and it even overvolts a little ~3.3v.... so I'm golden :banana:

i was planning getting this memory, do u guys think it will do 260 on my NF3? right now i have 1x512 Corsair pc3500. will 3x512 work well on NF3 at 250+FSB @1t tight timing?

Yes, the AN7 has 3.2vdimm, but the vtt doesn't track well. It will really drop under load. The way that I was able to help this was to put a 92mm fan blowing over pwm area. I never ran any higher that 2.8vdimm though, but this really helped. I had an 35w 2400 running 11x240 on that board. This was the only way I was able to get above 225.

EDIT: I see that you are at 240 already, maybe this can help you get to 250.

I just bought them here in Spain, you think i will be able to reach 250 htt at 3.3V (or hope so 3.2v?).

My system reached 270x10 with TCCD cas2.5-7-4-3 1.48V vcore and 300x9 10/9 without problems, then i switched to Mushkin Blue UTT-BH and couldn´t go over 250 (3.5/3.6V :rolleyes: ).. i hope i can reach 260 3.5V or even less (my winchi does 260x10 with 1.36V ;) ).

What do you think, did i do a good purchase? (195€).

What bios should i use for better OC with these UTT-BH? i also bought 2 Enermax 9cm for the mems ;) Any other advise?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi there Hitmaker,

You shouldn't have any problems as long as you use the correct bios+A64settings , this sticks seem to go easy on A64 to DDR500 speeds with around 3,4v. I can't help you on the bios front 'cause you know I'm playing with GH on my dothan.

Those mushkin blue sticks can't be compared to Gskill GH sticks, these are hand-picked UTT-BH.

For the price...well in Spain you could only buy them where you did but @ the egg they are 147$...In Europe I got them for 204€ shipped.

See you @ Gpumania.

Dumo : trtw=1 is a no-go? this would be a major performance boost

I just received the mem and i have already try to OC it.

First at 2.7V vdimm with these settings works perfect without errors:

200
enable
2.0
02
05
02
07
14
03
03
02
03
0648
1
enabled
auto
0
level 8
level 3
7.0ns
5.0ns
16
disable
16
07
disable

With bios 702-2 and yellow slots.

I have try to reach 250 with 3.3V (3.2V and using my OCZ powerStream to rail up the +3.3V line), but i got a couple of errors (around 10) per pass (test number 5 memtest86).

I thinks is because of the bios and the latencies, not because of the mem. I tried TREF 3684 and 3120, Drive Strenght at Level5 also and Cycle Limit 256 too. Didn´t help at all. Also its wear that using oranje slots i got 2-3 less errors.

so any idea???

:confused: Maybe Your Winnie contains a bad memcontoller.....?

:toast:

I dont know, with my OCZ El Plat rev2 TCCD y could do 300x9 1:1 :rolleyes: , so i don´t think so.

I will try again and also maybe some burn in..

By the way, what bios do you recommend me??

Thanks :p:

By the way, Drive Strenght y Data Drive Strenght (which levels do you recommend me to set them at?), TREF 3684 is ok also?

Thanks for your time ;)

Finally:

http://www.telefonica.net/web2/hitma..._memtest86.jpg

3.4V vdimm, 1.37V vcore, 1.3V vldt and 1.6V vchipset.

Bios 510-2FIX, thanks HARDCORECLOCKER ;)

Superpi 1MB:
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/hitma...ncrono_1mb.jpg

strange things:
-Idle Cycle Limit, only if i set it at 16 it works, if i set it at 256 give me a hundred of errors :roll: :confused: . Also tried 008 and 004 with thousends of errors.
-Finally was able to set Drive Strenght to level 8 and the Data one to level 2

Tomorrow i will try more, now i am tired (4am in Madrid)

:D Nice to see it's workin' for You - and some regards to SPAIN, the most wonderful country in EUROPE (will move there when retiered ;) ).

Mine are better... :D DDR500 with 3.30v 8M and memtest stable. :drool:
http://www.lifestyleinteriors.org/ho.../DDR500-8M.jpg
Woops I forgot MBM in screen, I assure you all that I am using only 3.30v. :) I do not lie, and only post stable clocks. I will be posting 3Dmark and SuperPI 32M results later anyway so you can see proofe then. :fact:

SO bios 704-2 (i can see it in your signture), which slots???

Maybe is time to change to a SanDiego 3700+ :roll: for better mem controller :stick:

using yellow slots, as I can cool ram better with those, orange is too close to Freezer64. But this bios is just amozing how good it is. I takes less volts to do equal clocks with my old bH-5, which I must say are exactly identical to my gskill GH. Infact to setup GH, I just removed HyperX and inserted GH and booted up, stable as. Well as close as possible as theis crappy board can do to stable. CSS and other games don't work (board is faulty I think), 3DMark's are fine though.

I think almost the same :P

Just a heads up for you guys using 704 you need to becareful. Oscar Wu has reported it having voltage problems and asked it be removed. Read about it here http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16500

Who cares! Just dont use VID % thingies. :confused: This bios is awsome, did some testing today with 3.4v, was hitting 260Mhz memtest stable. :slobber:

This ram is awsome wikid cool. :D

hm 250mhz and 3,4vdimm?
here my memory:
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/2...volt4vy.th.jpg

;)

mfg

i have a problem with this mem i cant get to go at least 250mhz it only stable at 240 no matter what voltage or timmings . i put heatsinks on them i have a 115cfm fan on them also .i know its rated for 3200 but reviews like this and across the web getting 260-275 helped me buy them. i want to send them back but can i return to gkill for a better pair

try each stick independently

i did try that to see which one was the stronger stick but they both react the same

My GH max out at 250 whatever volts . I can only push it higher at 258 by change Cas to 2.5 , so bus 258 2.5-2-2-2 at 3.6v :rolleyes: , i mean it 's stable :ROTF:

not all mem will oc the same

just b/c a reviewer or someone on a forum gets super high doesn't mean u will. could be your cpu. your board or yoyr skillz. why should it cost G.Skill $$$ when you got alot more than you paid for????

What do I need to do to disable 32 Byte Granulation ?

My board automatically enables it and it also doesn't have an option to disable it in BIOS, so when I disable it using A64 Tweaker my system automatically freezes or BSODs...

I've seen this setting has slight influence on bandwidth/stability and I know my GH can handle it so it would be nice to have this setting disabled... these are my settings :


CAS Latency (CL) 2T
RAS To CAS Delay (tRCD) 2T
RAS Precharge (tRP) 2T
RAS Active Time (tRAS) 5T
Row Cycle Time (tRC) 7T
Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) 10T
Command Rate (CR) 1T
RAS To RAS Delay (tRRD) 2T
Write Recovery Time (tWR) 2T
Read To Write Delay (tRTW) 1T
Write To Read Delay (tWTR) 1T
Write CAS Latency (tWCL) 1T
DQS Skew Control Increase Skew
DQS Skew Value 0
DRAM Drive Strength Normal
DRAM Data Drive Strength 4 (No Reduction)
Max Async Latency 5 ns
Read Preamble Time 4.0 ns
Idle Cycle Limit 16
Dynamic Idle Cycle Counter Activated
Read/Write Queue Bypass 16
Bypass Max 7
32-byte Granularity Enabled

just got a pair 2day, reached 265mhz 1,5-2-2-5 - 9 - 10 ;)

But got better results using 1,5-2-2-5 - 10 - 14 in SPI quite some difference actually..

- 12k

Hmm another thing... Tref at 133mhz 7.8us gives me one heck of a bost, gained 1,4 secs !?!? Compared with 200 1,9xus...

Futher I gained lots by using 0 clk in Idle cycle limit - compared with 256..

- 12l

I just found out it is only when i have them in dual channel.
Alone they botj do 250 3,3v wihout to much testing. Anybody knows why they are not stable in dual channel? Or must i open a new threat?

The bios for the nF4 DFI boards are can be picky with certain types of ram. Try updating bios to newest date, and then try -1, -2 and -3 and see which one seems to work the best.

Also, Try switching from Orange slots to yellow slots or visa-versa to see if you can get dual channel running smoothly.

My mem just did 9 hours of prime95, stable at 250mhz in dual-channel. But in memtest it gives errors.. So i think there is the problem. My memtest is corrupted or something..

Thanks

had my g.skill gh today and little bit fun
