Been busy all day with this mem, it's just a bad sample.
Tried different slots, slot 2 and 3 were slightly better than 1 but still no possibility to get 300MHz memtest errorfree. :(
The best i could boot into windows was 290 2,5-4-3-10 but very unstable.
SuperPi errored immediatly while it went trough memtest errorfree.
Did yours need a break-in period or did it this high from the start?
It was more stable when i had it in beginning.
Then something happend and 3.3Volt went to 3.07V reading and CPU temp went bad again.
After that its not the same =(
But putting the ram to 3.1 volt seems to do better.
I put 1.550 and 126% Volt on cpu to get it stable just below 2.4 gig.

Oh man, that's some voltage you're throwing at an aircooled CPU!! :eek:Quote:

Today i put a probe onto my heatspreader and ran memtest 86+.
The probe was only held in place with a piece of tape so contact was improper.
Still it read out 47,3C!!! on the heatspreader, sidepanel of the case was removed!
Room temp was 22C.
Not good at all if you ask me. :explode:
My is still not warm when i touch them, and nor is the XP-120.
I think i RMA board soon, but its still making good performance =(
Heres some settings thats stable at 310FSB to boot win and run superpi and sandra without crash.
Needs some tweaking.
I suggest to start the real stability test man ;)
Aka memtest86+ :)
Will do.
Uber,
Do have any idea how hot your RAM gets during memtest?
Mine ran a blistering 47,3C i think this is very hot for TCCD mem.
Keep in mind this was with a probe attached with a piece of tape onto the heaspreader, imagine the temps on the chips, they must run over 50C easily, i think close to 60C is an even more realistic guess. :eek:
This heat is holding back the oc on this mem i think, i found on several occasions that the first pass of memtest was errorfree but after that i didn't run errorfree any more.
Try a large 120mm fan on them(or two smaller ones)
You are going to gain at least 5mhz and even more if you actually have a problem with temps ;)
Finally broke through ddr600 barrier and beyond.

You have half divider.
At 320FSB you should get over 5000 in sandra.
There wasn't any divider set in BIOS.
Sorry to rain on your parade but your memory is at 2425/8=303MHz ;)Quote:

Can you give some more info:
Is it memtest/prime stable?
Which dimm slot?
Volts?
Does the mem run hot to the touch?
Would it have anything to do with the fact that it was uppoed in windows by clockgen from 300 to 323??
The memory is not hot to the touch due to a 80mmfan
vdimm is 2.8v in the 1st dim closest to the cpu.
I have not tested anything but sandra so it very well could not be prime stable.
Why would Sandra read it at only 303 if I have it set to 1:1 in the bios?
No, just set CPU/FSB ratio in bios (Genie part) to an integer number like 7 or so.
Can you please fill me in on my questions?
Read what they say. When u are using half multipliers like 6.5, 7.5, 8.5 etc u get a kind of divider even if u run it @ 1:1.
Those 323fsb 1:1 will be 303MHz on mems with the 7,5mult.
Use the full multis like 6, 7, 8 etc.
320fsb should be @ much closer to 5k mb/s.
OHH....ok I didn't know half multis did that
what is weird though is at 300fsb it read 303mhz in sandra and when I used clockgen to go to 323fsb Sandra was still reading 303mhz but the mb/s went from 4400 to 4700. Is that normal with a half multi also?
I did manage to prime an hour yesterday at 305:FSB and watching a movie and downloading movies at the same time without error.
But that was at 3-4-4 timing, i want cas 2.5.
Will try more when i have time.
I tried sandra and pi and such and touching the ram, but it never get "hot" to touch.Quote:

Thats still nice ;)Quote:

I dont have a fan blowing directly over it, but the XP-120 fan blows all over the MB i think =)
Will do some prime at cas 2.5 when i come home from work and post results.
Its 3.1 volt, but dont understand why it does not get hot when Zeus ram get hot ?!
I think mine get hot just because it's a bad sample, i don't think TCCD are supposed to get hot, maybe with exceptional high voltage but not with just 2.7V! :mad:Quote:

any ideas ?
