It seems like your memory controller is on the verge of stability. Give it slightly more vNB :up:

The sticks run perfectly cool. You will probably hit ~1150 as top speed @ 5-5-5, 2.2v or so. As for the ICs.. no idea, some in-house geil stuff is all I know.Quote:

Keep in touch my friends ;)
I don't know if the first three can be considered memory stability tests. I do not, however, have much faith in MemTest86+, as I've had systems which pass it but won't boot into Windows :up:Quote:

My usual method for testing if RAM is "stable enough" is Super Pi 32M test, OCCT "Mix", and Windows MemTest. If it ain't stable, crank the voltage up or loosen some timings. If it passes these tests but crashes in gaming, you're probably clocked just a little too high. Don't be greedy!
For me, the best stability tool is 24/7 usage :up:
thanks! that sounds like just what i need.Quote:

Wow! Nice job!
Sorry for the offtopic, can u give me your bios config for 550 fsb stable? ;)
Good work :)
Thanks :)Quote:

CPU Voltage : 1.3425v
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.50v
FSB Termination Voltage : ~1.25v
DRAM Voltage : 2.3v
North Bridge Voltage : ~1.39v
South Bridge Voltage 1.5 : 1.5v
South Bridge Voltage 1.1 : 1.1v
These are not optimized at all and may be overkill, especially the vNB, I just guessed and benched.
Thanks :)Quote:

I`ve just decided my problem about passing Win MemTest!!!
As I`ve already said before, I can pass IntelBurnTest, Prime95, OCCT and DOS MemTest86+ with no errors @2,06VDimm (real).
But! I need 2,10(real) to pass Win MemTest with no errors!
Why??? How? Win MemTest is the most killing Ram test?
Yes, seems to be true, I wouldn't have thought it. I am running 2 instances of it now with 890MB set in each one (I have found this to be the best way to run it if you have 2GB of ram, as it produces a higher NB temp meaning it's causing more stress).Quote:

Good to hear you got it stable.
thanks, my friend!
By the way, I have 50*C NB temp under load too ;)
Dho.. :slap: I think I might start getting somewhere with OCing my memory now. Being so used to the 975X and various voltages being "tied", I completely forgot about needing to raise NB voltage. I'm going to hit the NB up with 1.7v and monitor how styable things are. My case has great airflow so I shouldn't need to slap a fan on the NB.
:rofl::ROTF:Quote:

Oh, 1.7v is a bit xtreme, 1.5 should suffice. I haven't used more than 1.45v on my board yet.
Working on 1143MHz now :p: I don't think my CPU will be handling 1200+ stable. Kinda impressed with 1143 tbh out of a cheapy E4400, I've heard many stories of E4400s crapping out with memory much beyond 900MHz. I think the CPU gods blessed me when buying this E4400.
Just been sprinkling some ket magical pixie dust on an old BIOS rev for the P5Q Pro that doesnt have that weird FSB enhancement option, and low and behold, it seems I can now do 1200MHz+ stable! Can't post any screenshots right now as I'm letting that system run OCCT v2a, over 20mins in stable so far. At least part of the key for 1200+ has been to set trfc to 42 and a performance level of 8. Will post screens when OCCT is finished.
Nice one! I haven't seen that FSB Enhancement option before, seems like all it enhances is user frustration :p: Awaiting screens :D
Hmmm guys. I have problems with passing Win Memtest again. Again 3-4 errors after 100% coverage.
It seems, Asus MIIF is a bad mobo, it can`t keep 1200mhz stable.
Yo i just got my geil sticks on Biostar I45, and they're unable to do stock speeds at 2.4vdimm and 1.5vnb. I'm hoping this is a BIOS support issue, as i've heard this board has some RAM support holes. Anyway you could sprinkle some of that magic pixie dust on the 710 BIOS from this board:rolleyes:? it's really starting to limit my qx :(Quote:

What vdimm and vNB are you using when it gives you errors?Quote:
