Wish I could tell you, the thread's gone walkabout ! If I manage to fish it out I'll link to it.

Then reading this forum almost makes me cry just because i got to wait till next year, even tho its a month away, i dont know if i can take this.

At least you've got Jack Daniels to ease the pain :)

How I have burned in ram

Find the max stable at say 3V, run test 5 for 500loops and then up the fsb 1 notch, do the same and then upp the fsb 1 notch again, do this till you see errors and then up the voltage 1 notch.

Repeat till voltage makes no difference.....the ram is maxed.

yes please and thank you, I would appreciate some results before I get mine in. The only thing I am wondering and worrying about to be honest is the fact that I will never really know what the ram can do if my current board won't keep up. It can be crappy and only do 250 and I would never know till I got another board.

wow 1fsb at a time.. you sure have patience!

Probably a smart thing to do though. Can you kill a rams potential if clocking up too high to begin with?

Its important you do it like this as it pushes slowly and the result for me stuck.

Also, lets all remember your now pushing the memory controller on your A64's real hard with low latencies....the errors may be cpu induced here if the memory controller is a little below excellent.

Which, lets's be honest, most of the Winchesters are :(

Very nice winston!

What motherboard are do you have?

He is using the MSI NEO PLAT 2. Big ups to my boi Winston!

Funny thing is this was failing in seconds last night. A good 12 hour burn in has brought him this. I am very happy for him and hope everyone can get results at least like this... including myself.

whos crazycarl :-)

Well here are some other results of the VX which I am testing for OCZ

http://users.pandora.be/timtitanium/ocz/piscore3.JPG

the highest fsb achieved atm is 275 on timings 2/2/2/7 also as my
Pifast score.
I only gave 3.5V with the booster , maybe I need to give little bit
more juice for more thighter timings. That I will test this weekend

Ill keep you guys updated.

I wonder are your bandwidth so high becuase of the CPU speed , or becuase its a FX-55

Nice scores, Tim.

And welcome to Xtreme. :welcome:

hehe im not crazy carl. He is another mate Winston and myself talk too. I laughed when I saw that too. lol.

nice RAM bandwidth, awesome...

dual channel and the fact he is running an FX with more cache will help.

w00t!!! another neo2 plat! burn it is definately the key..

winston, what program did you use to burn in your ram?

memtested 260, 3.6v for 12 hours. WITH COOLING.

Sorry to answer for him but I know the answers and figured I could get them to you sooner than he can. =D.

this fuss about VX and fry's sux....i won't buy this ram...

PDP XL is only 219$ now.

This is on DFI UT NF3 250GB (slot 1,3) All on auto except 10x multiplier, enabled CPC, 2-2-2-10. memtest was done with 9x multiplier to get cpu oc out of the equation.

No, You are just about right for A socket 754. Remember, also the onboard Audio, USB and Raid will rob the bandwidth a little along with any programs running in the background.
