OCZ has tested the EB's above 3v and it doesn't really help any more after that. At only 2.6v I can run stable at 252 or more, sync 3-3-2-7-1T dual ch. (2x512) on a 939 board. I think optimal voltage would probably be 3 or 3.1v at max. Otherwise they will run unnecessarily hot. A fan over them is really almost a must.
p4z: No one as got better from 3V to 3.5V.... I myself didnt got a single MHz from 3.2V to 3.55V...
These RAM's are strange but sure good....
hm...ok....really good results despite all that....:)
maybe in the next time come PC4000-EB with new/another chips, not just seperated, like the 3500/3700-one :)
My 2 x 512 sticks have gotten better over the course of the past week, must be some kind of burn-in effect.
When I first fired it up a week ago the first thing I did was lower the multi and find the memory limit. Using P95 I determined that it would do 247 @ x-2-3-3, 1T, 2.8v. Trying 248 or trying x-2-2-3 at 247 caused errors in P95 fairly quickly.
Just for giggles I tried pushing it further last night. I still couldn't do x-2-2-3 at 247, but it took 3.5 hours to crash instead of 2 minutes. At x-2-3-3 it ran P95 overnight at 252. I fired up 3DMark this morning...hopefully it'll still be going when I get home. If so, I'll push a little more.
somebody test eb's on DFI s939?
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
I've been wondering the same thing as Mrki... Anyone?
I have been reading thru this whole thread it's looooong, and I just don't get it. I picked up BH-5 a couple weeks ago. 2x256 HyperX-DDR3500 for 80euro including shipping, It's running at stock voltage @400Mhz 2-2-2-5 Sandra's memory benchie puts it at 5232MB/s this is faster than any I have seen in this thread.
I haven't got to turning up the voltage for a 1:1 overclock, but I don't get what the point is of running CL3@300Mhz if it's only going to be slower!
You run it in DUAL CHANNEL, that's the difference.Quote:

BH-5 can't run CL3, and it's not lowering performance alot!
Remember, EB loves CL3, and BH-5 loves CL2.
Yep, it works awsome! This board can supply the needed power, unlike the most NF3 boards.Quote:

I use OCZ 3700EB with my DFI NF4 Ultra-D and it works fine. Using the bios that shipped with the board.
Still testing but have had 262 1:1 3.3.2.8 1T at v2.9

damn, my 3500eb is only doing like 265 3-2-2-8-10-15 maybe ill try lower volts?
Try running with only 1 stick of memory in instead of two like people have been doing in this thread, you'll barely get 2600MB/s.Quote:

(thread resurrection again :D)
can you post some A64 tweaker pics with your timmings?? I´m have some problems to get my EB doing just 250 3-3-2-5.... :(
that's not that impressive....okay this RAS2 @ 3xxmhz is amazing but with tccd based memory u get much higher bandwidth and u don't need that crazy amounts of volts :)
look at this, also s754 singechannel :

:stick:
this thread began in june-2004!! in that time EB was really good (and for me I think this mems still are good) and I think nobody knew what was a tccd chip...lol
somebody picked this thread sometime ago (march-2005) and I picked it again just to ask people to put some pics with timings with this mems and DFI NF4 939....
and... what bios do ya use with this mems.
ah okay sorry :)
mfg
no one has a64 tweaker screenies? i just got this board as well. 250 seems stable with all timings on auto at 2.8v.
mine runs 256 at 3-3-2-8 in dual channel
