that is really nice found Kunaak :up:
there is some result with my old GBHX BE (sux gskill doesn't make it anymore!)

i am going to try 2-2-2-5 .... man Kunaak you are :up:
Haha, this is getting more interesting day after day... Weird ICs those Infineons are :D
lol wow. who'd have ever thought! it's kind of surprising that, say, OCZ or Corsair haven't found this out yet or heck even Infineon. wouldn't they have typically tested at the lowest volts possible at a certain speed? if OCZ or Mushkin had found this out first, that's good for advertising if you ask me. DDR500 at 2.2v! (of course, <1% of the PC world is going to have Expert boards that can go that low).
damn I am glad to see others can do the same kinda stuff I can, if they have certain Infineon ram too.
its weird to say, but when you post something like that, that almost clearly looks like BS... it's kinda hard to speak up, even when you know 100% the truth. I am glad others can redo my results, so I don't feel like this is just fluke with my particular hardware.
I don't get that. Weak drive strength and 2.2v......
................ ..... ........... ......... ...
Now that I am past my confusion (...), what is the max you can do at 2.2v and level 8 drive strength?
What about MAL of 7 or 8? I found that higher mal gives lower clocks with CEs... but maybe not at 2.2v.
for the real ocer, the 1st thing is not to postQuote:

then gives his her result
do it befor post it!
Kunaak :up:
Wanna see 300 hrs with ONLY 45x passes??Quote:

wow thats some crazy :banana::banana::banana::banana: guys
heres some new stuff.
easily passes 3dmark, and gaming.
the prime 95 shot failed after 10 hours and 15 minutes.
but that could easily have been from the CPU being unstable too, as I have not tested the CPU for stability at all. only the ram...
I don't want to bother with prime 95 anymore since it doesn't really help me figure out where problems lie...
finally got sisoft sandra working again.
aparantly I had some necessary service disabled, so it wouldn't do anything.
here I thought I corrupted the OS... :rolleyes:

jeez that's almost BH-5 upside down lol
Mh is there a chance that my PQI TURBO (2-3-2-5 // 2 x 1 GB) will OC with less volts? There is a Thread ( I looked for it , really did not find it ) where many guys were able to OC the sticks up to 260ish with 2.8V and some with 2.7V but im not even able to OC to 230MHz using WHATEVER TIMMING nor VOLTS (not even 2.5V)
What i mean, any chance of knowing the chips (if any knows em :P) i dont wanna open the heatsperaders, rather sell em before that, sure am OC'er, just don't wanna do that since i dont even have an DFI Expert (lack of money).
I bought 2x1gb of Kingston value ram with uccc chips on them and they clock higher the lower I go with the volts. So maybe it's not just the Infineons. I'm still on a Dfi 250gb so I'm hoping the bios can be modded for lower volts.
A little necromancy here, sorry boys. I've found Kunaak's erroring problem with high volts (2.9) to happen with my kit. Yet, it refuses to stabilize at anything above 285 unless fed 2.93V! Priming up 290 right now, dualing, 1:1 with a nice 3200 :)
thats with the Corsair XMS 3500 LL Pro 2 gig kit??
Yep it is. Bloody stuff gets HOT though.
I wonder what revision yours is...
it seems to be drastically different from your revision to mine.
mine seems to only get better with low voltages, while it won't pass 265 at all, while others can't do the low voltages like mine can, but get into the 280's....
Weird. As to refresh rates, i tried a few and the only one that stabilized 290 was yours. Thanks for that :)
strange find
have you tried OCZ PSU and lowering 3.3v rail
wouldn't that just do less amps?or does it lower the voltages?
both... because there's less voltage, less amps go through the RAM
Uhhhm, lowering the 3.3V rail shouldn't have any effect on the VDimm though (unless you lower it to really unhealthy levels perhaps). The circuit is designed to deliever a certain VDimm regardless of the input voltage being a bit higher or lower than 3.3V. Lowering the 3.3V rail won't do the trick. You have to mod the vdimm circuit directly to get the real lower VDimm.
most motherboards are limited by the input of the +3.3v source. You could set the PSU to 2.2v, but then other stuff thats attached is going to have problems..
That's exactly what I meant to say. You could set the 3.3V-rail to ~3V thus you still keep the other things up and running in more or less good condition. But that wouldn't get VDimm any lower. Or you limit Vdimm to a max. of 2.2V by setting the 3.3V-rail to about the same level of ~2.3-2.2V. But then the other parts that depend on the 3.3v rail would most likely not like that. :stick:Quote:

I'd try it, but ATM I don't even have a system here to test with. :) No S939 CPU and no system to experiment with. :(
I have 2x512m corsair 3200 cas 2 ram rated at 2-3-3-8 that has Promos -5 Rev A chips on it.
They also work best at 2.5 volts but i will try and get lower voltages :D
This is pretty much what they are capable of (test #5)
2-3-3-8 215
2.5-3-3-8 255
2.5-4-4-8 255
3-3-3-8 280
3-4-4-8 300
They are stable for about 20 minutes, until they heat up (a LOT) and then they start producing 1 or 2 errors every pass or so...
Is it worth removing the corsair heatspreaders (the standard platinum ones) or are they actually helping in this case?
The rams are also right next to each other on the mobo but not a lot i can do about that :(
