I am doing CPU burnin max heat right now. Temps are 53C. I am thinking of selling my setup for a Chaintec NF3, DTR 3000, and a gig of Corsair value ram. I could probably run 250x10 with a 166 divider on that with under 1.5v
My current setup is
WInchester 3000 @ 270x9
2x256 Dell ram @ 180 2-3-2-7
Neo2 platinum
Get the ram and try it in your neo 2 probably the dell is the problem and if not then you were going to get it anyway so...
And with the dfi nforce 3 out now thats gotta be the better choice than Chaintec.
Or the total cost of the corsair value plus another mobo it would be better to get some quality ram that the neo 2 does like and run high htt 1:1.
Yeh, Neo2 can be picky about certain types of RAM. See if you can get hold of some different memory to test with the 166 divider. :)
What is the cheapest ram that I can run at 265.
Depends if you want low timings or not...you could get 2x256mb of TCCD (say from PDP or PQI) that would clock well with semi-tight timings...

EDIT: do you want 1024mb, or just 512mb? :)
My crucial ballistix seem to be stable at 265 1T 2x 512mb but i dont know if i would recommend the ram as it took a lot of messing around to get here.
I would want something that could do 270 2.5-3-3-10 on 2.85v which is the boards max right. I would def want the cheapest stuff. I am looking for a gig if possible. I would be using NFM's modded bios of course. I guess the timings could be pretty loose if the ram is cheap enough.
cheap ram wont do 270 2.5-3-3-10 at 2.85v. Maybe at 3.3 v but memory companies arnt stupid. you get what you pay for.
Can I do 3.3v on my mobo. What kind of price are we talking here also? I heard the crucial pc3200 can do this for under $100. And, what kind of performance increase are we talking from 512mb 2-3-2-7 1t 176 to 1gb 2.5-3-3-10 1t 265
my OCZ Dual Channel Platinum PC3200 rev2 1GB will do 1T 2.5 4 3 7 @ 2.85v PASSED memtest89 for 11hrs no problem
But it wont pass prime at those speeds 1:1 - well not on the MSI neo2 with bios 1.7 1.8 or 1.9b5 (hopeful on 1.9 offical :rolleyes: )
Best stable I can get is in sig - just trying prime95 at 2550MHz 1:1 rest of settings as in sig
edit typo!
How do I get my mobo to do 3.4v? Also, do you think it is my mobo, memory, or cpu not allowing me to run my 166 divider. If it is my memory, I will just get ram that can do 220 and use that. My memory booted 1:1 up to 240; however, it won't boot at 195 with the 166 divider.
you can use a ddr booster http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/OCZDDRbooster/Quote:

Yes would probably be best for you to get ram that will run at 220 or so well in 166 divider.
these corsair sticks are rated at 275 with okish timings and an okish price imo http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Corsair_XMS.html
I don't know if I want to volt mod or anything. If I could, I would just get 1gb ram that will run nice timings at 220 with the 166 divider. I might have a problem with my mobo or cpu though with the 166 divider.
Also, do you think my machine is any good.
A64 3000 winchester @ 2.38 on 1.56v
2x256 Dell ram @ 176 2-3-2-7 1t
Neo2 platinum @ 265 HTT
9800 pro @ 409/358
What do you think I could improve on the most. I don't want to spend too much money on it. Although, it did only cost me $20 more than what I sold my 2.0 P4 TI4600 for! I get 21000 on 3dmark 01, 38s 1M PI, 2700 3d05. Everything is on stock cooling. I think more VC overclocking and 1gb of ram would help the most.
I am at 270x9 with 1.56v right now. Not PI stable. I think 260 or 265x9 is the sweet spot. I am going to check how much I have to underclock my ram to boot with the 166 divider now btw.
upgrading the ram would give you the biggest performance boost because for one thing u would have 1gb instead of 512mb which makes a big difference in newer games.
Try uaing the 2.5 Ht multi like NFM does to see if it helps.
I just flashed with "180NFM(HH)" and when i entered the bios it asked me for a biospass, I've never had a bios pass befor, I have to reset the cmos to get past it right now i'n in windows for the first time with this bios and the clock mods look like they took effect, nice work maybe now we can get one modded with 200mhz 15.6us? Or if someone can show me the steps and programs used I can do it myself. Just a little hex and compling right?
@Blinkme323
Either go with OCZ PC3200 VX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227204 + with DRR Booster http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813998301 or go like me, I just got OCZ PC3200 Rev.2 with TCC5 chips http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146890 Unfortunely my crappy winnie can not handle more than 280fsb (mem cotroller craps out, dam CBBID :frag: I burned them for total 10h. Tried them with my friend's CBHHD winnie and I did DRR600, 2.5-4-3-7 easily at ~2.9v (Neo2 overvolts)
@4rory
what does 200mhz 15.6us equal, 4072 Tref? It is 780 tref
good thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...highlight=tref
I got no idea what it equals in tref lol but, its a setting in a64 tweaker, I'll test now and let you know how much it effect performance and stbility also why not change the read preamble from 5.5 to 5.0 most a64 screenies i see use that setting.
There is definately somehting wrong with the 166 divider. 225x9 with a 133 divider and 3-3-3-8 booted but was completely unstable. The 2.5HT didin't help. And, I am using NFM bios. That ram is a little out of price range since I am primarily a console gamer. BF2 was giving me some hiccups though. Also, how are people overclocking their 9700 pros and 9800 pros so much higher than mine. I can barely do 410:360 it seems.
There's nothing we can do with TREF. Leave i alone for now, I'm unable to increase.
@Blinkme323
166 divider is messed up. I can only boot 304HTT stable with it (I had to use 2.5HTT for that, none of other worked) :( . But when I boot 1:1 I do 320HTT easily :) 3x HTT worked :confused:
overclocking my 9800pro was all about good cooling.
I can't boot at all with the 166 divider lol. I could probably trade my system straight up for a DTR 3000, chaintec NF3, 1gb corsair, and 6800nu.
