If allbrain can get 3800+ at 250-3-3-3-x, I gotta see what I can get w/ 265-275+ at 2-3-3-8 :D :slobber:
(TCCD still burning in on wife's puter whilst I fiddle w/ BH-5.)
I'm seeing this disconnect between memtest BW on TCCD and winders (gets less than my BH5 @ 250 until I get into the 270-280 range) but still see some BANDWIDTH here :shrug:
I can't wait for my OCZ Platinum Rev 2 512x2 comes in. I ordered it last night and it will be here sometime next week. And next week I am on vacation so I got sometime to play with it. I can't wait to see what this RAM does on this board. I have heard of one stick doing 310FSB; and 278FSB with two sticks in. But when I get it I will do my testing and post my results. I also hope to get alot higher CPU clocks as well. I hope to atleast hit 2.6GHz stable on air.
i just started testing 1x 512MB OCZ PC3700 Gold rev3 on this DFI board easy 275mhz 2.5-3-3-8 at 2.8v vdimm with chipset voltage at 1.6v :)Quote:

Have someone and guide for psu rail mod?
Thats awesome! Have you got another stick of 512 to try? I'm planning on getting this memory but will want a gig RAM for 24/7 useQuote:

anyone test fsb useing ALL 3 dimms?
this mb simply kicks arse. this oc here seems to be pretty stable? my 3.3v rail is at about 3.38v so getting 3.2v to feed my power hungery bh-5 is cutting it close. i deff need to do the 3.3v mod to my psu. heres a screen shot of my oc so far. hope to get more once i work out a few bugs.
*edit* where is the 1T setting in the bios for this mb? im using the 9/17 modded bios for 4v v-dimm....
peace.....
@Perc what RAM is that there? You should be able to push that alot more though too :D

peace....
The board is very easy to get along with? What version BIOS are you running it with right now? Did you get the v4.0 modded one? That seems to be what everyone is running and no one is having problems with it yet. Just play with it and have fun. Let us know what your highest CPU clock is.Quote:

thx perc.
I would just stay with 1T timings. I am not sure though...can someone else help him with that question?

no im trying to make sure it is on 1T thats all. so your saying that with cpc set to auto its already 1T? what screen do i shut off that dfi flash screen when you boot? will it say 1T in the flash screen anywhere if i disable the dfi flash screen?
thx perc,
ok i just disabled the dfi falsh screen and i can now see what your talking about. i am indeed getting the 2T with the CPC set to auto so im loosing memory bandwith big time. im going to try takin one stick out and seeing if i can boot with 1T? as it stands now i can't even boot at defualt speeds using 1T let alone trying to use 1T with any kind of oc...
*edit*
ok i pulled one stick out and im able to boot with CPC enabled (YAY :D ) i gues the way to go with this system since its single channel would be one stick of 512 instead of 2x256. hey how are you guys getting along with the EB memory in this mb? what do you guys think would be better EB with looser timmings or BH-5 with the tigher timmings? i see that alot of you guys are using EB in this mb so i got me a pair of 256 3500 eb comming to try in this mb. i hope they work beter then my adata pc4000 and my bh-5 3200....
oh and whats drive strenth do?
peace perc,
Using My Crucial Ballistix, mine set's to 1t, im testing out now for max fsb, cas 2-2-2 drops out on the ballistix @ 240, then i have to go to 2.5-2-2, past 265 i have to run slack timings like PC4200, this is with 2.5-4-4-8 timings. 285 fsb 1:1, but the 1t is still on.
I've got Good corsair, Geil, OCZ, everything, Everyone do their selves a favor and buy the Ballistix, This is the first "all around memory" i've dreamt about, This stuff is PC3200 2-2-2 if you need it, or just change the timings and you have PC4200+ this is my first stab @ High FSB with slack timing on it. I'll be back on a reboot with more results. Oh and by the way. this is @ 3v!!
Anandtec's review is dead on if your read the Ballistix review. I've been using it for the last month in everyone's computer that i build for highend. And it's cheaper than Corsair's big boys, And it's all i'll buy now.
Mine DFI does fine with my bh5's using 256mb sticks, but it doesnt like my ADATA PC4000 at all.
I found some screenies of the chip you have now the 3000 newcastle that your using . in my pictures folder Perc, this is with using Geil PC4200's i've had for about a year. Back then no one liked Geil, and no matter how many 300FSB+ screens i showed of it. The corsair fanboys still told me it sucks and they would only buy corsair??
Still going 290 HTT 1:1 I'll be listing in the for sale forums soon various BH-5 sticks by Kingston and Corsair, And also some PC4200 sticks from OCZ, Geil. And some Adata PC4000. I've found my ram. I also got a Ballistix Tshirt the 5 times i ordered. Im not a fan boy on 2 many things. One is Fortron Power supplies the other is this ballistix memory.
I dropped down to 8x multi since im only benching memory speed now. And im on Air cooling, Alpha I bought a Vapo LS and im hoping it will show up here tomorrow!!!
290HTT 1:1
Perc, try DIMMs 1 & 3. ;) I'm still looking for info on drive strength, and a lot of the advanced mem timings. Kinda hard to find, and the BH-5 specs aren't real helpful, they're just too old. :( Remember, BH-5 was out when JEDEC still didn't endorse PC3200 yet, lol. ;) @ Tedinde, that looks like the stuff. Next time I can afford some RAM, I'll give that a try. :cool:Quote:
