Hello,
How about dividers? Does ZX ram run without problems using dividers?
Thank you.

Hello,
How about dividers? Does ZX ram run without problems using dividers?
Thank you.
If you have problems running memory with dividers it's the weak memory controller in your CPU, not the ram.
These are supposed to show up in a few hours with my new Opteron 146. Hoping to get some good clocks :D
Do these modules get hot enough to warrant active cooling?
This is a question that i will be waiting for its answerQuote:

hmmmm, air cooling is good if you want to add over 2.8v
using memory divider is really depends on CPU and memory, but more on CPU side. i don't have any problem on g.skill's testing machine. which run with 3000+ (for rma testing) or opty146.
Ok, so my new sticks do 260 and possibly might do 275+, they ran SPi32m at 270. Now, all of you posting shots of your ram with 32mPi runs, how many of you can actually run prime or stressprime LARGE(stress ram) FFTs for as long as you can run your CPU? Currently I'm running my ram at 245 with 3-3-2-5 at 2.88v or so. Last time it failed at 11m, so I upped the V a bit, changed TREF to 3702 from 3684, lower preamble, and now they are at 20, and going strong. I'm gonna let them run for 10 hours and see if they pass.
I wouldn't use a divider smaller than 150 as the lower ones hurt performance. At 312 the memory is around 255 or so with the 166 divider. Run it at 3-3-3-5 ans see how it does.
i think R stands for Retail
R stands for retail, this was already resolved.
Ok in the BIOS, memory configuration set your values to thisQuote:

Have your dram voltage at 2.8
What bios are you using?
How stable is your CPU at 312x9? How many hours of prime does it pass with those settings?
Still no go dave, just going to send back and take the 15% restock :stick:
I got mine to run 3-3-2-0 at 246. No peformance difference than 3-3-2-5. It can run 3-3-0-0.
which type of bios is prefered on the DFI's NF4 mobos
-1 or -2 or 03 ?
Doesn't seem to matter with this ram. -1 is a general bios, as in for most ram. -3 is for tccd and -2 is for bh5.
My 2 tests for total system stability are : 12hrs Prime, 2 hours of playing BF2(induce video card heat into the case.). After that I call it good.Quote:

bios -1 gives best performance.
@ IceMole
you can try to RMA to Newegg to ask for replacement.
they will send you a new set. if that still not work at your machine, then ask for refund is better way to do it.
but everything need to do quick.
These stix are awful for me, on a DFI with a 3700 I cant get into windows at anyting above 220, regardless of timings or voltage.
My 3700 did 300X9 1:1 with TCCD.
I know this is different but 220???
I will be sending mine back.
I just noticed that with 3-3-7-2-9-13 I have better PI and bandwidth scores than with 3-3-5-2-9-13. Funny thing is that 3dmark scores have NOT CHANGED AT ALL by going from 2.5-3-3-6 with the 1gb tccd to 3-3-2-7 with the g.skill.
Ok I was able to get into windows at 225, anything over 222 fails prime instantly and loosening timings to 3-4-4-8 has no effect and neither does voltage up to 2.9.
Right now I'm at 267X10 with 166 divider memory at 222 @ 2.75 volts running prime. 3-3-2-5 timings. Loosening or adjusting all the other dram settings has got me no where whatsoever...
Do these things need to burn in?
Did I get a set of crap or are the ones hitting 250-270 cherry picked.
My first G.Skill experience is turned out to be rather dissapointing. Only pulling 6450 mb/s.
With my 1 gig kit I was able to get 7000+ with 11X250 1:1 thats what I was hoping for with these but I guess it serves me right for expecting over 200.
:mad:
Prime95 running 6 hours, man 2gigs is sweet, can prime and fly around in windows and internet lol.
Any GSkill guys have any suggestion to try and get me sticks higher ??
I need 245 at least out of these puppies before I will think about keeping them.
I guess if I wanted DDR500 I should have gotten these :slapass:

did you try usin the posted settings by the G.Skill tech? I just poppsed them in, set up those settings, and viola! Memtested stable at 265 for 12 hours at 2.8 volts. Im using the 704-2BT BIOS and havent had one problem.Quote:

BTW check windows, cuz memtest doesnt mean windows stability...
EDIT :
went back and changed my settings to the techs and again no windows at 226, at 225 I get into windows but instant prime95 failure. They did go thru prime at 222 for 8 hours no problem. Figured after a good burn in they may get more but no way.
Oh well
I'm at 246mhz on the ram and my bandwidth is 6900mbs and I don't care. Why? Because sandra or everest are about as good at telling you real world performance as Yugo is at making cars. You have a AMD processor, CPU mhz is all that matters with memory making a 2-4% difference. I benched my old set of 1gb ram at 270mhz with 2-4-3-7 timings at 270 and it scored the same at 3dmark, all 3 of them as I do now with 3-3-2-7 at 246.
Rattle mine have the same problem. Can't run faster then 225 and won't really run with a divider lower then 166 or 150, being my Opty 144 is a 9x multi it limits me to about 2400mhz. I can throw in a pair of 2gb geils and use any divider I want, this opty is 2800 @ 1.4v 24hr prime stable, with the G.Skills I can't even boot over 2400. I already filled out the newegg return and went to mail them back today except post office is closed for vet. day. Cost me $225 and I'll get $188 back for the refund, kinda sucks for having them 24hrs. I haven't tried them at 2T yet and being I have the weekend with them yet I may just get them out of the box and try.
Same results here, right about 220 1:1 tops with Ultra-D and 623-3 or 704-2BTA BIOS after 2 days of trying all settings here and then some.

sry dudes we are in the same boat, I'm swapping mine for the black Gskills that do 3-4-4-8 and ddr500 out of the box, they are $245, should ahve done that to begin with. These are still the most cost effective stix even though they dont overclock worth a damn...
I gotta have 250 !!!
