Yeah... I'm still waiting on the PC4000 1GBGH...

OPB? :stick: :p:

Actually the recent GH is already capable of doing pc 4000 2-2-2-5 with 3.3v :toast:

So I guess that means there probably won't be a GH PC4000?

Don't get me wrong, the current GH looks very, very attractive for the price. But the chance that maybe 1 in 10 sticks won't do 250mhz 2-2-2 is still too high for me. I already have way too many sticks of various UTT-BH and CH that are capable of 230~245mhz @ 3.2~3.3V.

DDR500 2-2-2-5 at 3.2vDimm with G-Skill 1GB GH

Nothing spectacular, but my VX needs 3.4v minimum to reach the same speeds

I'll try lower vDimm as i continue to test these modules.

wow 3.2v at that speed is well above average

They don't seem to be breaking sweat yet, once i get back to testing these sticks i'll try them at 3.1v and 3.0v. This is my first G-Skill product and i'm very happy with them so far. My target is to get them running above 260Mhz at 2-2-2 atleast.

give em 3.8

I think not just 2-2-2, Gskill is not like some Cherry pick pair ..you will now know it. :toast:

I can officially say that there is not necessary to get the different product name to waste customer's $$. Not 1 in 10, 9 out of 10 can at least do 3.3v DDR500 :toast:

Hello OPB,

A quick question, will i void the warranty if i put heatspreaders on these sticks? They are actively cooled with a 80mm fan at the moment, but adding heatspreaders would allow heat from all the ICs to be cooled more effeciently (the fan is cooling the center of the sticks ok, its just the ends it can't get to well enough).

I'm using the same timings as in your official run at 273Mhz and they are working a treat on the yellow slots :clap:

Very good result indeed, now , you might need to have right idea about the heat-spreader,
It's really just eye candy and holding you back. It will just void the warranty as well.

Darn! Just when i was beginning to think gold heatspreaders would look so pretty on them, lol :slap:

Mines not, mine takes 3.43. does 260 (2.2.2.8)with 3.7volts and very lose timings :slapass:

Interesting that SPD says default timing is 2.2.2.5, but default timing on my DF4 are 2.3.2.5 and it needs 2.8 volts to do this

I'm wondering if it is a DFI issue because my Geil deaults to 2-3-2-5 if I leave it at auto even though the SPD tab shows 2-2-2-5?

yeah I would concur its the bios not the Ram, I have given up with UTT.
I so wanted 265 but alas a set of VX and Gskill BH couldnt. I have ordered some Gskill FF now

2-2-2-5 255Mhz @ 3.3v

Tested lower voltages earlier, it looks like 3.2v is my minimum at 250Mhz

Here's 255Mhz @ 3.3v, i'm estimating 3.45v or 3.5v for 260Mhz. Strange how the latency has gone up from 36 @ 250 to 38 @ 255. Hmmm....will look into this later.

can you do trfc 12?

bh5 can do that
05-19-2005, 03:12 AM
Agent-JCDenton

As predicted 260Mhz 2-2-2-5 @ 3.4v

I'd set the wrong tref, hence the higher latencies at 255Mhz.

Here's 260Mhz 2-2-2-5 at 3.4v. Now don't get me wrong, the OCZ VX is great, but my sticks wouldn't get past 255Mhz even at very loose timings, so I'm really happy with the G-Skill GH.

Hello esdee,

I'll try trfc @ 12 jus now and see how that goes.

its worth tryin trtw = 1 too, gives more b/w too

thanks :toast:

260Mhz Trfc @ 12

Trfc @ 12, better everest latency and faster time in SuperPI. The idle timer was also changed, from 8clks to 256 clks.

Thanks esdee, now to change trtw to 1,...a little heads up would have been nice while i was in bios, esdee. lol :D

:toast: keep up idle cycle @ 256 is useless btw try 16
