My EB 3700 can do 268mhz with 3.1v at 3-3-3-10 1T. The timings kinda suck though. I'd rather run 250mhz 1:1 with BH-5 at 2-2-2-6 1T
Can u guys say somethin about the overclockability of various A64 Steppings?
r there any Steppings which r highly-recommended
In my optinion the oc-potential of the a64 differs 2 much to say something general about it what do u think?
i still have a alot of bh5 sticks flying around here so do u think 2x512MB r able to achieve 250MHz @ 1T ?
It comes down to voltage with bh5. with this board and the beta bios, you can do up to 4.0vdimm, but you need a psu with an adjustable pot so you can raise the 3.3v line. or a modded 3.3 line on a psu.Quote:

@trans am
thx a lot man :) glad 2 hear that
for me its more important how much i can achieve with out-of-box settings which means a vdimm not above 3,3Volt.
since the 1GB OCZ 3700 EB have been discontinued, what´s the best memory I can get for this board to replace the ocz one ?
Buy some now, its good stuff, to bad its EOL.Quote:

i have the same prob. here....
if i put 429/31fsb (i don´t know what apenned to 430), it appears "detecting array"... :mad: ... and i can´t go to windows!!
help :(
Since some of the memory is becoming hard to find what is some really good RAM that will provide some really nice high Bandwidth/Performance scores? I am not looking for Dual Channel kits...just 512 Sticks. That aren't too too high on the price. Sorry this is off topic.
Guys we have a 3500part coming soon (I hope) that is VERY similar to 3500EB and does clock quite well to 500 or so, it also does cas2 where EB was tuned for cas2.5...this may be worth waiting for and as soon as I can i will test and post results.
Crucial seemed to have sent some real good clocking sticks to anand. The :banana::banana::banana::banana: i bought doesnt clock worth a damn.
I would recommend the new OCZ PC3200 REV 2 stuff, seems to clock real high with tight timings.
this place has it (PC3700 EB ). i don't know whether their price is good or bad. by the way, they are in Canada, but ship to the US.Quote:

Alright I will wait for that then. Thanks bigtoe you are a big help as always man :p: . I know it is my memory that is holding back my overclocks and I want more!!! :DQuote:

To bad its only a 512mb kit
And this place...

I'm using Mushkin BH-5 for now, myself. But will be checking out my new 3500 EB afterwards. I'm not gonna get 3700, too. :cool:
Here is a nice HTT for me so far. Not a high overclock.
And I decided to take it out of the case :D
I didn't want to ruin my DFI box so I used my old MSI K8T Neo box lol
Edit! 400x5.0 I don't see why some people can't even hit 300 on HTT.
This place has single and dual channel EB listed in stock. It is in Canada - not sure if they ship intl.

I think I am going to wait for the new OCZ to come out that bigtoe is talking about. I want to see what it can do and around about how much it is going to cost.
Some of the GEIL is doing pretty nice but what I would really like to get my hands on is some Mushkin Level II Black. That was some really nice RAM there. But I have also been seeing the Cosair doing nicely as well. But we all will see in time who is going to come out on top. :p:
Bit of info on Codered's A64Tweaker vs DFI in bios tweaks :)
Seems A64Tweaker even at same settings as DFI bios, is slightly faster and more stressing on system then DFI bios.
i.e. DFI Bios is more stable than A64Tweaker set settings but slightly slower
9x 260HTT at 1.5v vcore
2x 256MB KHX3200K2/512 BH-5 @ 260mhz at 3.28v vdimm with timings of:
2-2-2-6-8-12-2-2-2-2 with
Read Write Q Bypass 16x
Bypass Max 7x
Max Async Latenecy 6ns
Hexus Pifast
A64Tweaker = 51.41s
DFI Bios set = 51.47s
Sandra SP2b Buffered
A64Tweaker = 4037/4038 MB/s
DFI Bios set = 4032/4034 MB/s
Sandra SP2b Unbuffered
A64Tweaker = BSOD unstable
DFI Bios set = 2435/2468 MB/s
DFI bios set allows me to be prime95 and stresscpu stable while A64Tweaker set settings are faster but unstable - apps generate errors too i.e. loading cpuz, a64tweaker, etc
FYI, @260mhz 2-2-2-6-8-12-2-2-2-2 memtest86+ v1.26 reports bandwidth = 1945 MB/s
Interesting.Quote:

There are quite a few settings that I did not provide in A64 tweaker since they did not improve performance, maybe I should re-enable them to allow people to tweak for stability too. I deliberately left out Drive Strength, DQS Strobe tweaks, 32-Byte Granularity, DRAM scrubber controls and a few others.
EDIT: Eva can you post a WPCREDIT screenie of Bus 0, Device 24, Function 2 as set by the BIOS.
yeah re-enable them all :)
wpcredit i haven't used in ages so not sure how to do it heh.. i'll figure it out later :)
