have anyone tried memtest86+ 1.50 ? :)
Marilyn, very impressive. That is what I hope my sticks can do! 265 is great. I would be happy with 260 anything over would be pure bliss.
What cooling are you using on those sticks as they must be scorching!
I haven't got any fan to blow on ram and booster. only 6 aluminium hs stuck on booster. partially cooled by xp90 and great f***king cold air in Canada you know it.
I will try 266+ later today if no go with 3.9V max then I'll give up and stick with 265
I live in Canada too but my house is warm!
No fan is crazy. I can't believe your ram isnt erroring due to that. I notice when my temps get up there I start to error.
Stuck with 265? I would kill to get that. You care to share an everest read, write and latency with us at those speeds?
My TwinMos 44D can't do 200 2-2-2-5 memtest at that setting :stick:Quote:

Enjoy :p:

MarilynMX - You've got an excellent set of memory. Let's get some fans blowing on them just to make sure they live a long and happy life. :D
Ok, couldn't finally resist while waiting on the DFI nF4 and put the VX in my DFI Infinity rig.
First of all, they didn't want to run 2x512Mb dual channel 1T 2-2-2 even 220fsb .
But that's probably because the memory controller on my Infinity just plain sucks (it did the same with 2x512 Mb Kingston BH-5).
So I just started playing with them separately, that is, in single channel configuration (1x512Mb).
The first results (I'm doing the burn-in simultaneously as well, so only results from one stick, the other will follow).
3.2v: 243 fsb 2-2-2-9-12-14 memtest stable for 100+ passes.
3.3v: 247 fsb 2-2-2-9-12-14 memtest stable for 100+ passes.
2-2-2-11-13-15 in memtest gave ~20 Mb/s less bandwidth so I just remained with the more aggressive timing values.
Heatspreaders are on, and a fan is blowing on the ram.
The board is unmodded, so the voltages are supplied by the mobo, my PCP&C (vanilla 510W) 3.3 rail is at 3.42 (with the built in pot maxed out).
We will see how it goes further.
Here's my max so far, with 3.6v. Will do the full 3.1v - 3.6v test tomorrow.

wow no errors till 195 passes then none again up to 260. Weird.
It's probably just some small insect getting zapped by one of the PSU rails. I'd still call arj's overclock stable.
Ouch, that poor insect :p:Quote:

Just to add from personal experience, I wouldn't call memory memtest stable in the 5th test without at least 50 passes... Often you see first errors popping up around the 20-30th loop and then the number of errors building up slowly (the situation where usually the burn-in should come into play :toast: )
I haven't tried your advice yet, but my BH5 sticks are 2x256... certainly a 3000+ winnie doesn't help since I already tried that too :DQuote:

gotta burn this mofo :D
keep it up matey!
man the method that i am trying isnt working yet i dont know why but, the errors stay the same...
unfortunately not all memory benefits from burning in. Your's just may be stubborn. How many errors are you trying to rid of and at what speed and voltage?
MarilynMX,
could you test 3.1v-3.3v too please?
and is it fair to say your memory does this? I wasnt 100% sure from your post
3.4V 249 MHz
3.6V 258 MHz
3.7V 261 MHz
3.8V 264 MHz
3.9V 265 MHz
Ulti,
Could you post your results from 3.1v-3.6v please.... or as much of that range as you can? even if 3.1v only lets you do 190 MHz 2-2-2, results is all we want :toast:
mrlobber,
thanks dude, I'll put you down as 1x512mb for the following speeds...
3.2v: 243 fsb 2-2-2-9-12-14 memtest stable for 100+ passes.
3.3v: 247 fsb 2-2-2-9-12-14 memtest stable for 100+ passes.
Interestingly, I've never seen VX doing Trfc=14 on AMD64, but you seem fine with it :D
Garrett,
2x512 does put more strain on the memcontroller so maybe your CPU is on it's way out and it jus wont take it anymore :(
Either that or it's time to get that RMA in motion hehehehe
Tedy,
are these results with 1x512 or 2x512?
* 235 2-2-2-11 50 loops error free
* 238 2-2-2-11 10 errors after 2hours of memtest#5
Jupiler,
Biggy Cheers for the sticky bro! My first one at XS :D
Adding new results now, thanks everyone!
I wont be here for a few days so no updates till I get back... I expect results from everyone tho! :)
NP, Rabbi_NZ. ;)
Still testing 2*512MB on my DFI at 3.1V, as you requested.
220 and 225Mhz passed test #5 (25 runs).
So far, 230Mhz, 2-2-2-5,1T seems ok, no errors.
Will try some more tomorrow, getting late here.
Rabbi_NZ you are about right. every level represents the max expect 265MHz since I just stopped at 265MHz, I was kinda too chicken to jump on 266+ at that moment. Tonight I will try higher FSB with VDIMM NO HIGHER than 3.9V
some screenies taken from Sandra 2005 and everest home edition, please see for yourselves
I don't have any soft to show my VDIMM and I know some people don't believe my ram could survive and kick around. I recalled andyOCZ said any more than 3.4V would not help with FSB increase but only brings mass heat, seems it doesn't work on mine.
I also have some shots for ddr500 if you guys want to make a comparison I can post them too.
Add: Rabbi_NZ I used to test on 3.1~3.2V well I can guarantee 200MHz 2-2-2-5 1T stable or maybe 210ish; 3.3V let's say 240MHz max. Before I was running 240x11 since I got best Pi result(250x11 bootable but Pi unstable).
i use 1.5, works fine..... one of my UTTs died on me so can't contribute any info on that, but now have some VX :banana: loving it, hit 245mhz reading 3.26v under load, need to burn it in and will report backQuote:
