yeh for sure! never even heard of be-6, get it and give it a shot! if no good, return it!

I have to ask :rolleyes: Why do the Ballistix 4000s clock sooo much better than these Patriots? I'm stuck at 250 :mad:
different chips....twice as much money almost tooQuote:

My BE-6 patriot is floating around 240-245 mhz atm on a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty via mobo with 2.8v as a maximum. Once I buy a DFi SLI-D and burn it in a bit more i'd be happy with 250-255.
This is at 2.5-3-3-8 atm.
Did some more overclocking. Now I took my winnie down to a 4X multi and put the voltage at 1.55 (all the ASUS will give me here) I then put HTT to 3X and ram to 2.5-3-3-7 1T@2.75 volts. I then went into clockgen and stated moving the FSB up by 5 at a time then running PI and a 3D mark 05 bench. I was waiting for a crash as always but... it never did, at least till 280 as I stopped there. Did I do this correct? Telling me this ram is good for 280+ or am I missing something? As soon as I moved the Multi to 5x on the cpu she crashed though :( But the winnie has alot of problems controlling ram, let alone 2GB@280fsb.
I went back and set everything in bios to make sure it wasn't clockgen messing with things and the results were the same. One thing though CPU-Z and Clockgen both say 280 speed on the ram, however Sandra said 224. Whats up with that as I didn't set any dividers, it's 1 to 1 :confused:
quick question guys, so if i get the red pcb's its CE-6 automatically?
what does cpu-z say the memory speed is?Quote:

The thing is this, I load optimized and all runs fine, when I try to load 12X multi and 4 htt it wont pass raid array..
Even with lower multi as such 6x same thing happens, Is there something im missing here?
I noticed if I disable bank interleave I can pass raid arrays sometimes and get into memtest but it doesnt run it just hangs there doing absoultely nothing..
Any recomendations? Because Patriots tech support totally blowz, leave name message and # well call u back..lol
Sry for double posting admins but i have an update..
Im currently sitting in windows at ddr 333 with 12X multi?
My mobo supports ddr 400 with 2 gigs so whats the deal here? Is there something i can change in bios to get this stuff running right? or are my dimms just bad
philosophy, I think it's the bios problem. My asus also detects it at 333 but I lowered the muli and increased the HTT to get to the same mhz with no problem. my 2 old sticks that I ordered at the same time didn't have this problem, but after I got a new one, I can't run one old stick with the new one at 400. Maybe because they have different chips!
an update for you guys. I recieved my RMA back today and the new stick is doing 270mhz with 2.5-3-2-5 timings at 2.5v. I just tested for 5 rounds of memst#5 since I didn't have time.
Well me and New-B from DFI street forums both having same prob so Were guessing its either this ram dont like DFI NF3 250 gb or dont like our newarks, we both basically have same pc, and are having same problems.
I can boot to windows with 210fsb on 180 devider but any further than that and this mem craps out.
I hope someone with opportuinty to try this kinda setup out and try to work out the bug i would greatly appreciate it.
Until then I dont know If I wanna rma ram mobo or what..
I dont think this cp
u can be RMA'd guess ill have to ask vandi and see..
hello owners of these patriots.. may i ask wht is your stock FSB:DRAM ratio? i am using a n intel system, and my patriots ratio at stock is set to using 5:4 ratio @ 160mhz? i thought it was the setting in the bios, but when i put in my other kingston stick of ram (without changing any setting) it shows FSB:DRAM ratio at 1:1 @ 200mhz? i got these figures from cpu-z.
I have a pcchips motherboard, which hasnt got the function to chang fsb ratio or anything like that, i can only change the timing of the memory... IS THERE SUMTHING WRONG WITH MY PATRIOTS?
i was running 1:1 at 252fsb 2.5-3-3-5 windows stable. 255mhz is memtest stable.......Quote:

I even swappped to 4-15 bios and 5-04 bois to try that and still not working, New-B at DFI street is having same probs as me, Ima try these babies in the infinity tomorrow to see if theyll do some good speeds and if so I might be getting rid of the blessed NF3 setup in hopes of nf4 and X2
ThT IS BIZARRE, though it seems to me like either the SPD is saying they are ddr333 and thus the bios auto sets it to that ratio, or your boards bios just doesnt play nice with the chips. Do you know what chips they have in themn?? :confused:Quote:

if cpuz says 280mhz then that is really wierd. i just cant see any way in h3ll you can get 280 some what stable with these...Quote:

you wount void the warranty if you take them off carefully. trust me ;)Quote:

actually I tired to take it off but I just left some scratches on the stick. What's the best way to remove the heat sink?
I'm sure it can be overclocked more on a better board and cpu my 240mhz average seems a bit low.

I choose to work with the side without the warranty label..
Is that BE-6 a new chip? old ones were BE-5 and CE-6.
240 at 2-3-2-5 :shocked: not even Gaspar's CE-6 could do that.
i have tried to search on information about these be-6 chips, also the ce-6 chips, to see how good they overclock etc, but no where to be found.. anyone that got thses information would like to share with us?
i can overclock with these chips to 240mhz 5:4 divider...relistically 190mhz. can't use 1-1.. anything over 240mhz my sata harddisk will not boot.
