No problem here on my end. Maybe I'll try another bios though just for kicks. :)

CRUSH-ER, at first, did you try and raise volts but found out that that didnt help and when lowered you were more stable?
Nah I started at 2.5, benched and kept going on 2.5. The ram hates volts, never needed to use more because I didn't post the max yet. I'll be posting a follow up when I get some free time that may like a few more volts. 287 isn't the max these do afaik.
Anybody have any 0603, I just got a pair in today from the egg.
I also just received a pair of 0603. Anyone have any details on these yet? Although I will be able to provide you with some tonight or tomorrow. :DQuote:

Well, very happy with the 0603 so far!!
I am currently in windows and passed Superpi 8m @ 275 mhz 1T, 3-4-4-8 timings. I also passed memtest in dos without even 1 hiccup. Perfect and stable at 275!!

Yea, I wish I was nearly as lucky as the rest of you guys.
Im hitting a wall at 260, no matter what I try, I cant get 265.
Though I think Im getting a good idea what exactly I need to tweak to get it stable.
Did any of you guys change something that helped drastically?
603 kicks ass!! received two pairs last week, @3-4-4-8 1T the 1st pair did 275 and the 2nd did 282 with only 2.67~2.69v. Both pairs are spi32m, memtest, prime, and 3d stable, already sold the 275 on egay and I'm keeping the 282 ;)
Max OC is 282 1T (3-4-4-8). :)
Finally got a pair of 2gig sticks that can run @ 1:1 with my 10 X 280 combo.:) Very happy right now. Results and screenies will follow shortly.

I have a pair of the 0603's trying to get them stable at 265mhz having issues
i have a set of 0603's that i will begin testing tonight.
Highest I can get is 255mhz no matter the settings:-(
I don't know what the deal is
You state PERFECTLY CLEAR what is pissing off all of us that spent big $$$ on this RAM before the price dropped.Quote:

I think I've learned my lesson now.
For instance:
I really want ram that can do 300fsb 1:1 or more. I see lots of ads here that give me wood.
I buy.
Things suck.
Then, I go out and kill people.
Getting old.
I would really like to score a couple of Martians. That would 0wn!
Post us some Screen shots of your settings and then we can really help you overclock farther..Quote:

Give some more details and maybe we can help increase it. If not, crap happens. Sell it off and try again or go for something different.
Here you guys go.

I would set the board to auto settings on almost every setting to except set 3-4-4-8 and 1T. Try to load at your desired speed and see if the board is 32M SPi stable. If it is then start testing tighter timings. Here are some things I do to increase stability, but I am by no means a memory expert.
Did you set your drive strength or is it on auto/auto? Need to find out if the board wants to push them weak or normal and then start setting manually.
Try loosening tref to 3120. Lower idle cycle limit to 256. Disable dynamic counter. Loosen MAL and RP. Lower queue bypass (2-4) and bypass max (0-4).
Good luck. I'm about to start testing my 0603's very soon.
I just set everything to auto and it looks stable at 250mhz.... I'll test with Prime and memtest to make sure. Then I'll start playing with the timings.
I'm really suprised at the difference in stable settings compared to my old TCCD PC4000. LIke starting all over again:-(
UPDATE: No errors in memtest but Prime not even stable with 3-4-4-8/ Auto settings??? What the hell?? Gives me like 3-4 mins then errors.
Doesn't make any sense because I was stable with the old memory at 2.65ghz (10x265) but this isn't stable at 2.5ghz (10x250)!!??
Update:
I switched dimm slots from the 1-3 to the 1-2 and used G.S Tech's timings...
Passed memtest 2 passes and running Prime 20min as I write this. Good so far
Yea I have a set of the 603's one stick memtets to 292Mhz and the other stick memtests up to 253 :rolleyes:
Well, I have it running at 255mhz, if I go above that I get Memtest errors.
I'm wondering if its the memory or the board/cpu. I know this DFI UT LP NF3 250GB board and Clawhammer CPU aren't the best with memory.
Maybe I'll get an Opteron and a nf4 SLI board
Here is my 24/7 speed with my HZ at 273 1-1 1T at 2.7v. Im currently working on getting them totally stable at 285 now.
Whatd DS/DDS are you using?Quote:

Any suggestions?
Ive tried all the way up to 2.72v and it didnt help, it actually cause more instability.
