group buy idea for 1gbgh handpick ddr500 2-2-2-5 3.1~3.2v

260 should be a walk in the park even at lower voltage.

Set every timing to auto except for the 2-2-2-5 settings, run memtest 86+ from bios and tighten the timings one at a time and rerun memtest 86+ after each change.

That's the only way to find out what holding you back.
Doing so i found that my MAL set to 8 was too tight, something i never thought about changing but it worked like a charm, i went from 256 up to 269 memtest stable.

Also, 3,66V is a bit much for 260MHz, start with 3,4-3,5V.

Last Viking, i'm curious what you can drag out of your sticks, c' mon man, show some sick numbers. ;)

I'm gonna play around some more with Data/Drive strenght to see if my sticks will take 3.7V, hoping to get a few more MHz outta them.

Man my mobo sucks it can only go to roughly 2.85 vdimm. Anyone have any ideas as to how far I should try to push it on that low volts?

you have to mod your vdimm, unless you got nothing on cas 2

Don't bother with 2.85V, it's way too little.

Get yourself a booster or do a Vmod.

I passed 32M but it wont go that far with Prime.
Voltage right now is 3.66 (3.6 BIOS selected).
Does BH-5 react to changes in timings as much as other ICs or just mostly voltage?

EDIT:
32M passed but fails after 2mins with Prime blend?
Whats going on here?

humm that is interesting. i only test 32m realtime but not prime

Yea, I know its weird cause usually if I fail Prime that quickly, then 32M fails within the first 2 loops.
Any suggestions or should I just say that 32M is stable enough?

maybe just use for few days and see any weird thing happen...

Alright.
Im going to spend today running some tests and I think if my results are decent enough, Im going to start another thread in XB.
Ill let you guys know and Id really like to have you guys post your results in there also.

have you tried pi32M 2 or 3 times and pass?
usually if I can pass pi32M over 3 times, it will pas prime large fft too.

This is for you :)

Stil need to brun in this sticks more.. this is with only 3.68v cant use more yet...3.68v is more like 3.62v set in bios on the Dfi ultra-D. The Venus dont overvolting the vdimm so much like the ultra-d do.. This is checked with meter.

More info will come later.

LV - why trc9? You're killing performance :confused: The Venus doesn't overvolt due to it's 4-phase power ;)

I always used Trc 9 on my nf2 so its a bad habbit. I´m not after the best times also, Only a fast test to show how high they can go :), Thx for the info about 4 phase thing... maybe i need to change my Antec True Controll soon (20pins + 4)


Edit: Room temp was about 23c

Count me in for sure!:)

Nice going LastViking!! :up:

I really like the custom part number in the SPD tab.
/me wants.

Your sticks are about the same as mine:

Nice time there :) , what vdimm is your setting in bios? + check with meter if you can for me :)

Many thx to "G.S Technician" for the big jobb to find good sticks.

Thanks mate.
Vdimm in bios was 3.6V +0.03V disabled.

I will check Vdimm with DMM next time i run 3.6V but i guess it's about 3.65ish.

K i think you have same vdimm like me then :) , 3.6v is about 3.67v+ real on ultra-d

is your cpu can pass that speed ? have you lower the cpu multi ?
maybe your mem is fine, but your cpu not stable at that speed ?

Yea, I know that the CPU isnt the problem, I dropped the multi to 9 and at that moment its underclocked.
It runs at 2.4 and right now its at 2.3.
I have higher volts running in it on account of the stories of high vdimm and low vcore.
Ill try to lower the volts and see if it gets more stable, which I doubt will help.
I have tried a lot of settings and drive strengths, but nothing has seemed to help.
Bachus said to try and run 8/2 for higher volts but that didnt seem to help.
G.S. or anybody have any ideas what settings may really open these things up on an Ultra-D?

Try this:

Messing around with all settings isn't exactly the best idea, just start of with everything on auto, also DRAM/Drive strength and set 3.4-3.5V

Tweak from there.

using vdimm 3.4-3.5v DS/DDS level 8/1

Are these still available?
