650? Very nice!
Well, 649.5 & 649.6 to be accurate, but still a lot better than 605 which was my previous max on this board with the same ram kit. Thanks mate.
What setting was that? :up:Quote:

I also set the strap manually to 266 and PL 10.
@ Dee, either a 7200 or 8400, maybe 8500 depending on price diff.
Cryptik, nice results, but what was that one setting? :p:
ED - dho.. thats always happens I ask something and the reply comes in as im posting lol
This RAM rules. DDR1200 @ 1.9v! Runs PI just fine, too. Booted into Windows at DDR1302 using 2.00v but wasn't stable for long!

chek your real volts;)Quote:

I reduced the tRD (PL) and got some better bandwidth & lower latency:
Everest @ 651 MHz, tRD 6 @ 2.2v real

SPI1M @ 651 MHz, tRD 6 @ 2.2v real

As stated earlier, I cannot check "real" volts.Quote:

Yes, finally! :) I always have bad luck with hardware, so maybe the memory god felt it was time for something nice to happen to me!
I love CellShock. This brand has quickly become my favourite, and man I was a BIG Crucial fan for the last 4 years. I gotta hand it to MSC. They put out some amazing products. Actually, I owe you a "thank you", zsams, you were the one who suggested I take a look at CellShock. Cheers! :up:
EDIT: Just a thought -- what's the max recommended voltage without active cooling? I know opinions on this vary somewhat but I'm interested in other D9 users thoughts.
lowest volts for max bandwidth + latencyQuote:

so i chose 1200+
no matter what voltage or speed i cool mine with 2 90mm fans
That`s mine lovely Shocks:

Nice work there mate :up:
Nice!
Done some more tweaking, can't say this is bad for a poxy 3.3GHz :p:
CryptiK, Dee
Thank you!
Nice Ket, love the 108% FSB overclock :D
Can you repeat that test at exactly the same settings except for setting 5-5-5 for the first 3 primary timings? I have found through my testing that CL 4 has very little gain in bandwidth & causes a small reduction in latency, much less than it used to with other platforms (P35, P965). I haven't seen what a P5Q-Pro does. Seems to be a strange limitation/behaviour of the P45.
@ Dee - nice work from you above too, sub 2.0v real 600 MHz is very nice indeed :up:
Thanks C.
Wow Ket! 108% FSB overclock!? That's insane! Nice work brother.
FSB has never been a problem for my E4400 ;) I hate how my CPU gets insanely unstable past the settings I'm using atm tho :( It has to be my CPU, three RAM kits cant all crap out at exactly the same area. I'll test 5-5-5-12 settings in a bit.
ED - heres the 5-5-5 results, practically no difference at all.
There is no way your kits wont do 1200+, Dee's kit does 1200 sub 2.0v, mine do 1300 on 2.2v, it probably has to be your board.
Nah can't be my board either, 1066FSB CPUs would be screwed otherwise. I don't care how crappy a manufacturers quality control is theres no way (or very very unlikely anyway) a board would make it out the door that cant even handle a stock 1066FSB CPU running 1:1 with some PC8500 memory :p:
Yeah I suppose so, hope your new cpu allows you to have some ram oriented fun. Thanks for doing the CL 4 vs CL 5 test, as I suspected, there is very little difference. It must be a P45 quirk as I have not seen any of them do much better on CL 4 vs CL 5 which is a little irritating.Quote:

Not bad :up: I just done a little more investigating and my CPU is deffinately the issue. Whacked everything back to stock and just set FSB to 320 to give a mem frequency of 1280MHz.. or was it 1320? well something like that :p:, went right through POST then crapped out. With any other OC settings the system won't even POST with 1200MHz mem frequency nevermind 1300+. Bad, bad E4400 :shakes: :slapass:
