k, got a question about the voltages, should list them according to what the voltage reads or what i set the booster at in bios? voltages drop about .1v under load, tia
cantankerous The date was Dec 18th or a day before. Actually I'm worried about my mobo way more than the RAM~~
bobmanfoo I put down the voltage shown on booster during test. please bear with my limited knowledge, why would you need the booster if you had your board vdimm moded? according to my situation my booster always keeps same VDIMM no matter idle or load. So both my RAM and booster are behaving really weird...
my vdimm mod only goes as high as my 3.3v, with my +3.3 rail at 3.34v i get 3.27vdimm, i don't really feel like running my +3.3 rail at 3.5v 24/7, i'll be running my VXs at 3.5v 24/7 when i fully break it in
your vdimm doesn't drop at all? is this according to the ddr booster led or from a multimeter? my ddr booster doesn't show the drop,only when i use my multimeter. my vdimm doesn't drop when priming or gaming only when memtesting
ok well mine doesnt seem to be responding to burnin:( i gues im gonna get another kit...
:::update:::i cant even get 2-2-2-6 @ 200mhz 3.0vdimm WTF :stick:
:::update#2:::ok it is final i cant even get 200 mhz @ 3.2 :stick:
::update#3:::i just sent an email to andyOCZ about this...
i get memtest errors all the time. the thing i thought yuou might find interesting is it errors out @ 3.2 vdimm 200mhz 2-2-2-6 in an hr and 13min.. i got 8 errors in 46 passes...VVVVVVVV

is there a may to desipher this?
in a previous post i have also said that it was stable at even stock speeds like 2-3-3-8 200mhz
I've been out for whole day...now back on business.
265x10 superPi 32s, 266x10 superPi 31s ??
I had little time for tests so now I can only provide a hard fact that 3.9V gets me as far as 266MHz, same timings.
Guys I just realized my DC is even worse than my cam phone, look at these pictures!
I ran memtest at 265 again thought I should obey Rabbi_NZ's 25 passes rule as everybody else
Holy crap im jealous. 266 and 33ns latency?
]=(
where in ontario are you and where did you get your sticks? Have you ever thouched them at 3.9v?
I've tested another cpu, a 3000+ and it doesn't help $h** you know...Quote:

I'll definitely get some G.Skill... that way I'm 100% sure about getting 275 DC @ decent timings... it's time for some MHz power ;)
With 3.1V, 231Mhz is the max I can run 2*512 sticks Memtest errorfree.
Strange thing though is that, at 221Mhz and same settings, I get a registry error when XP boots, and a memory error after some time.
After giving it 3.2V, all seems ok now. Weird.
seems this twinmos is really weird,eh ?
thats not so strange, my VX doesn't do too well until 3.2v, then it takes off, i've only gotten to 255mhz so far with 3.3v, with 3.1v i can't get 230mhz stableQuote:

cantankerous I bought my ram from Poklik
as an authorized OCZ retailer in Montreal. I was told by a XS member that they got only 1 set left so I took it home. Yes I'v been feeding 3.9V to my ram since two days ago. I'm going to get some TCCD to replace these VX during summer.
3.9 is a rediculous voltage to be running 24/7 those will die fast.
does anyone else notice how many of these kits are bad?
i mean i love OCz and all but, WTH ive only had my hands on 2 and both of mine are bad..
ive also heard about alot of dead sticks and rma's..
Yeah, IF those sticks live until summer... 3.9v is foolishQuote:

:D
ram isn't burned in yet but heres my results so far
3.2v - 242mhz
3.3v - 257mhz
3.4v - 263mhz
i agree, i thought these sticks don't give much if any above 3.6vQuote:

0.1v additional Vdimm and max stable speed goes up by 15 Mhz? :slobber:Quote:

yeah, kinda strange but i think it has to do with the voltage drop under load and the 3.2v take-off pointQuote:

Sounds like you may have one stick weaker than the other... might pay to check them individually to make sure
MarilynMX,
Nice sticks dude.... Take good care of them! :D
If you insist on using 3.9v it will be interesting to see how long they last... with your COLD temps it will def help the cause but I would still be very worried at 3.9v.
Updated your results.
bobmanfoo,
You look to have some of the better modules around... congrats :D
Did you read those voltages from the booster itself or from a software monitoring program?
Apparently if your 5v line on PSU is not at 5v it will cause the Booster to read incorrectly... is yours at 5v?
aCidbAbY,
sorry to hear that bro... those sticks looked like were going to be real nice too.
Hopefully OCZ will get you some nice handpicked modules for all the trouble you've been through! Good luck
TEDY,
Updated your results... cheers :toast:
DUAL TWINMOS
3.3vdimm
245 2-2-2-11 #5 32 errors in 7 hours....wtf is liming me ? I need more vdimm ?
3.2v 245mhz 2x512
3.3v 252mhz 2x512
3.4v 255mhz 2x512
might do higher i dunno, crashes after 255.
memtest stable, 30 passes on #5, 2-2-2-10 upto 255
odb so raising vdimm doesnt help a lot afterall ....just few mhz ...and on AMD64 system :(
can you try 3.6 ?
i never tried 3.5v+ yet, but will tonight. im still happy with 255 tho, when i first burned in when i got them the end of november, highest i could get was 242 at 3.4v
my +5v rail is at 5.08v, but i don't use the ddr booster's leds anyway, not really accurate, i measured the voltages with a multimeter, ill be testing higher voltages later...making the fun last longer ;) i've hit 265mhz stable with a minute turn on the ddr booster from 3.4v....Quote:
