Yes you would have 4x512 but man they overclock well ;) They did have a rebate for tracers @ newegg 275 bucks after rebate but im still hearing bad stuff about them daily, But they do have great RMA but you better have spares :D or your going to be down and dirty for a week or so.
yeap i rma'd my set of tracers 5 times LOL in a 3 month period or something like that ...
anyways ill prolly just grab the gskills and be done with it until ddr2 and am2 come out
thanks for all the help guys
sorry for the hijack ocz ..
EB's should be back in stock everywhere very shortly.....solid availability of IC's right now......New batch seems to be really good :)
hehe, would you like to swap mine then Ryder ;) :p:
Damn thats good to hear :) i mite need some more for my other system im building here, all I need for it is good ram and Vid card I have all the other parts but i do have 2 other sets of backup ram to build it.
I really want some that will do 290 Solid lol maybe the new batch on the way wil do that :D , but the ones I have seem to be better then a couple others in here and after 4 hours of gaming @ 270 3-3-2-5 not 1 glitch so i am one of the happy ones i guess. Maybe the price will drop back into the range they should be at, they climbed real fast when everybody ran out of them.
Thanks. If it makes you feel any better you are seeing about 100MB/s more throughput than I get from my Muskin UCCC @265 MHz 3-4-4-8 1:1 10x265Quote:

Let us know how they work ;) Hopefully you will get the good ones.
that's what I get for being impatient and going "red"Quote:

Ok, we'll see :) Thanks so much for the heads up :toast: , one of the reasons I dig hanging out @ XSQuote:

Well NCIX actually has some EB as they just emailed me stating my order has just shipped,finally after going thru three different Companys claiming to have them. We will see just how good they are.
can someone who is hitting 270+ on a DFI board please post their memory settings. Im trying very hard to get 270 out of these, but 268 is about their max so far.
well
first
hello to you guys
second
i just got my ocz 4000 EB platinum
i did a few tests...rushing....and my 1st impressions....
260 i can pass 3dmark ...fear....CO2....i can boot to windows at 285....run superpi...but all 3d aplications feezes my rig
i am gonna flash a new bios....with 623-bt at the moment...and see what i can do with this chips
see ya
yup, 3D stability is more difficult that SuperPi etc with these sticks...
well
bios 623-3 was not good for me...so i used 704.bta
yellow slots
.....its very stable but.....i have large pauses in games and 3dmark....and the sound of winamp when playing a video sounds strange...like stuttering

is there something i can do to stop this annoying pauses
;)
Man i do't know what you can do i never have that problem but alot seem too have it with a few different 1 gig sticks.
Steelballz,
Tras = 8
Trc = 10
Read Preamble = 6ns
Dram Idle Timer 128 or 256
See if that helps :)
steelballzz looks to me you have an IDE driver issue there, try running the M$ driver instead of the NV one or NV istead of M$, i had the same issue here and only a clean install cured it.
You could also try drivercleaner form driverheaven, remove all your drivers and reinstall them a fresh, this may help also.
well tony
i have put a divider and the ram at 254 runs 3d aplications just fine
guess i am stuck...again
after a lot of dimm swapping i was able to run superpi 32m
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/5...0stable9sm.jpg
i will run occt but i think that will not be a problem....
280 is nice...but....not games....movies...nothing runs at that speed..
if i throw a divisor like i have now....280 x10 with 180 div.....254...all is fine...:woot:
only one thing left to say...they do run rated specs...so...
and one more thing
ocz tech support is by far the best i have ever seen
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
i guess i will sell this and go back to 2x512...its just to weird..maybe i am just dumb and cant handle stuff like this
;)
After we look after you, go out of our way to get you happy you decide to just sell the ram we send.....oh man you need to just get the ram running a little slower and reap what 2gigs will do for you.
Run a divider, get the cpu maxed out and forget about DDR600, 8 node interleave is a lot better than 4 node trust me ;)
i answered u by pm
i thing u got the wrong message in my words
asking for help here
EDIT
btw i asked for help at the bleedinedge and i got nothing so far....i dont understand your "600"....
can u explain why is stable for superpi and not for 3d stuff?
thnxs
That would be the $330 question. IC or AMD mem controller?Quote:

I even moaned at guys here on XS for promoting competitors ram with no 3D benches as its plain unfair and wrong....!!! OCZ do NOT BS customers, we show it how it is, even if our ram is not the overclocking king as cherry picking does not gain respect, being honest does.
Steelballz, you are seeing nothing new, your issues is all load related. Upgrade your PSU, get better cooling on the CPU or even swap the CPU and im certain you will see a higher clock, I proved it here with Phase Change on the CPU= higher clock on the dimms at the same CPU speeds.
2gigs gives 8 Node interleaving, it is faster even at a lower clock, the issue is you may have to run a divider to max the CPU out. Also make sure your CPU is 100% stable then make sure the memory controller is 100% stable, then look at the ram. Memory controllers do NOT run as fast as the CPU core, they always fail first so you may just have to apply some compromises here.
