bump for G.Skill...best memory company on the planet ;)

They are the Shad.

I magically gained 6MHz at same timings with my sticks.. now at 250 2.5-3-2-6 full 3d. Could be new ae0 ultra-d (previous was ad0), could be I'm using a different cpu, or that the sticks just burned in over the past couple months.. but 251 is a no go no matter what I do. and 255 won't work with cas3, bsod on bootup :slapass:

I have a 2G set of there HZ that runs 275 1-1 1T 24/7 on an Ultra D. Its 32m pi and Game stable and kicks ass. Very good Ram indeed.

i have recently updated my bios to the latest 04-06 one with the memory and for some reason, my original overclock wasn't as stable as the 06-23 bios. Anyone else got such problem. ON 06-23, I can oc to 220 with stock timing, except cas 2.5, but with 04-06, when I set that setting, the computer boots but sometimes in windows it gets really sluggish. I now only run at 210. is the ram have problem or it's just the bios trouble?

I have not test all the timing and such on new bios so I am not sure how far I can push it.

Hello, i´m from Germany and i become a fine Set of 2GBZX from a RMA Change, sorry for my English, better i post some Pictures hehe...
:banana::banana::banana::banana:, sorry for BIG Pictures :-(

There is a new Pack now, see here...

Before i test these Set i read a lot here in this Forum about this, thanks for help !!!

My Set runs FAAAAAST 263,7MHz with 2,67v (Bios 2,6+0,03),
it´s on a DFI nF4 Ultra D Board with Bios N4LD702-2
More i did not test because my AMD X2 3800+ goes max with 2,9GHz...
Here are the Results...

6h Dual prime Stable...

I´m very Happy with these Sticks, it´s GREAAAT !!!
What for Chips are on this new G.Skill Sticks ?

same as the old one :)

ok, thank you...

@first, Hello :)


Anyone use this kit on a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Rev. 1.0 Bios 1.D?

Need Bios Settings for this Board, because my new Kit runs @ 271MHz (DDR542)/3-3-2-5 1T 2,65V but I get errors after 25% in Memtest for Windows and a Bluescreen :rolleyes: - maybe V-Dimm or timings/subtimings?

And how much V-DIMM is secure? In GSKILL.com-Forum (http://gskill.com/gstechforum/viewtopic.php?t=2033) they advise to use up to 2,85V :eek: - how much is secure and backed up by G.skill-warranty?

Okay, now I use 260MHz 3-3-2-5 1T, gamestable, 6h BF2 no errors, 3h memtest for windows, no errors ;)

Hello Cpt.Willard,

I run my sticks @ 270MHz with 2.75Volt (2.7V in bios)
They do get really toasty under stress so I recommend using a fan above the memory to keep them cool.

Here is a screenshot of my OC: (clickable)

Still needs a bit of tweaking though but they give quite allot of bandwidth.

Some everest results:

Happy overclocking :clap:

Ive got this RAM and i tried it out on my ASUS A8N-E mobo but it set them at DDR333 2-2-2-5 at first so I changed them to DDR400 2-3-2-5 @ 2.6v but under 10mins Prime95 I get errors and my Venice 3200+ is at stock and so if everything else.

After some tweaking I got them to DDR444 2.5-3-2-5 @ 2.6v and its stable. But why is it not stable and stock settings and stock volts?

These are validated to 2.75v I believe, so can I push a bit harder than what I am at the moment? Or will they get a bit hot in my case?

Thanks, my specs are:

ASUS A8N-E nForce4
AMD 3200+ Venice with Zalman CNPS9500LED
2GB GSkill PC3200 ZX
7800GT 400/1000Mhz
160GB Maxtor SATA 8MB
Antec Sonata II - 1x120mm rear
Antec 450W SmartPower 2.0
Belinea 20.1 @ 1680x1050

If you're gonna push, use a fan.

What fan(s)? I would need a quiet one as my case is really quiet.

Bumpage. Need some help.

Bump

Hello,

I would be very happy about your advice:

There is an error in Prime95:

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4


After a websearch I found out the voltage for the CPU was to low - I set it from 1.4v to 1.55v - but the error also occurs.

Then I turned the Command Rate form 1T to 2T - everything is working very well.

But there is great performance loss in Everest: 1000 points difference



I read that this RAM is stable at 240mhz 1T and 3-4-4-10 - but not in my case - why?

Is the RAM voltage to low (2,6v at the moment) - how do I know more voltage is needed and what'S the limit?


This is my hardware

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939 San Diego | Asus A8N-E Nforce 4 Ultra BIOS 1010 AC-Bel 400Watt 16A at 12V-1 and 18A atf 12V-2 | SAMSUNG HD321KJ SATA II | SAMSUNG SP2014N IDE | Leadtek WinFast PX7950 GT 512MB


CPU @ 2640Mhz (HT 4x, Clock: 240*11) at 1,40v (Idle Temp: 42°)

RAM: G.Skill DIMM Kit 2048MB PC3200 DDR CL2-3-2-5 (PC400) (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX)


the current oc setting - everything is stable (RAM 2,6v 240mhz)

the normal setting - everything is fine
CPU @ 2200Ghz ((HT 5x, Clock: 200*11) at 1,40v (Idle Temp: 42°)
RAM @ 200mhz 2,6v
