So youre not really running 240 then, youre running 190 right??

So youre not really running 240 then, youre running 190 right??
cpu is runnin 240fsb, ram runnin at 190fsb... still tryin to fix the ratio to 1;1, probably motherboard compatability problem.
it's most likely bios problem. try different versions of your bios.
I have dfi NF3 250gb and ive tried both bios 4-15 and 5-04 and neither of them will allow me to go above ddr 360 currently im at 235 fsb on 150 devider which puts my ram at 176.2 mhz
Im going to give the newer bios a shot but I doubt it will make a diff, but then you never know..
I would hate to send these sticks back thinking that maybe I have two that can do 270ish, it would break my bawlz if there good sticks and just a quirk with my mobo or proceoosr not liking them, I know proc not liking them sounds wierd but im totally lost up to here, and so is PDP tech support as well :slapass:
Just tested this ram on my DFI NF4 Ultra D using bios 310. Using Clockgen and even leaving the HTT@4x and ram voltage @2.5 (bios says 2.53) with 2.5-3-3-6 timings@1T. CPU was at 4x multi. Again got right to 280fsb 1 to 1 ratio, didn't bother to test any higher. This confirms these 2 stix will do 280fsb in both an ASUS A8N sli deluxe (1011 bios) and this DFI :p: I should really pull the spreaders and see what these are. The biggest problem is this winnie, it WILL NOT go over 2.530ghz. The ram says go but the CPU says no :nono:
You people think it's cuz I'm using a 4x cpu multi or am I correct on saying these stix will do 280+ :confused:
good questipn because right now im on the infinity with these and there ddr 440 2-3-2-5 prime stable and im about to jump em up to 460 to see how they like it, tech support is saying maybe that my Newark or motherboard doesnt like these dimms?
I have DFI NF3 250gb and a dam 3700+ newark that has been overclocked to 3gigs already..
Im going to be really mad if these dimms will go as high as some here on my infinity and not NF# anf i have to rma them..
Ill repost some results when I return but until then im extremely pissed..
Can you post a screenie of your timings on the nf4 FDI so I can try them with my mobo and maybe theyll work out.. thnx
Right now im at 250 2.5-3-2-5 priming..
Just failed prob due to low volts on the cpu ima crank em up a bit and see how high she can go
Relax those timings abit, you are too tight for running them @ DDR 4000 :eek: Do you know of any DDR 4000 1GB stix running 2.5-3-2-5 timings :confused:
I have TRAS at 6
Cas#Latency 2.5
ras to cas delay 3
ras precharge 3
1T timing and or enabled
Bank cycle time (trc) 13
Dram idle timer 16
volts 2.5
The rest of the dram settings I left alone as shipped with 310 bios. On a side note trc and dram idle are on 'auto' and cpuz shows those values. Used the same timings on the ASUS but trc was at 22.
lol dude right now im at ddr 500 with 2.5-3-2-5 :)
passed memtest for an hour so I know mem is good
This mobile 2600 lkes volts and i dontlike throwing anything over 1.8 at her so we stopped at 2500 mhz 1:1 2.5-3-2-5 @ ddr 500
gotta love it I was just saying that in my nf3 setup they wonteven post at ddr 400 with 2.5-3-3-8 :(
Why I was asking if you could give me a few of your timings for nf4 so I can plug em into my nf3 and hopefully be overclocking this beast..
What voltage are you using on the ram?
just becuase its memtest stable doesnt mean its windows stable!!!!!!!
i can pass 600+ of memtest #5 and BSOD right away in winders
So cas 2.5 at 500 huh. Thats sweet, do you have any Super Pi screenies at that speed along with an A64 tweaker. Id love to compare timings
yours wound do cas 2.5 at ddr 500, gaspar? cas 3 actually make mine more unstable...Quote:

Can't get it to 250 though =(

I hope one day to find 3-3-3-7 T1 @295mhz for 1Gb sticks
what dfi nf4 bios is everyone running? Im on 704-2BT now, was thining about trying the 623 series....any suggestions?
tech support said to run 2X1g as 2.7 so i did and unfortunately this was all done on my infinity and no screenies were taken, however i did go into windows and surf and stuff but keep crashing because of low volts to the cpu , this is my only working backup machine and I certainly dont wana burn it up..
It def did ddr 250 @ 2.7 2.5-3-2-5 in windows and would have prob gone further but I dare not push it, maybe tomorrow if im bored ill pop em back in and see what theyll do..
Im going to have to send em back to the egg :(
I hate to see such a good ocing pair go but if they wont work with my nf3 then I dont need em..
I really need some recomendations for 2X1g for my nf3 because lately all the ram ive been getting hasnt been any good with this setup..
Im begining to think it isnt my mobo but some quirk with my Newark somehow, NEW-B also is having a prob with his as well with this certain type ram, bh-5 is sweet on my rig but I blew thru two pairs already with over 3.5, so I want some lower volltage stuff like tccd thatll hopefully do close to 250ish tight kind of timings like these.
IM using the 623-3 bios, works excellent. I havent tried anyothers though really so hard to compare. My Philosophy if it aint broke.... :nono:Quote:

I need some recomendations for 2 gigs for thi9s nf3 because it doesnt like this type of ram, not sure if its be-5 or ce-6 or what it is but it doesnt like my cpu im guessing and i need something that does decent timings at about 235 to 240ish, anyone recomend?
I heard someone say that these are the same as ballistix? Is that the case? I paid 267 for my set and really want some good clockers for this setup
god damn it. I really need some assistance now.
Ive tried everything to get these sticks windows stable, BUT IT ISNT HAPPENING!
Ive been trying little by little for weeks now with the max prime stable of 40min even at conservative timings and 220mhz!
I can pass memtest at 255mhz but I cant get them windows stable at 220mhz?!?! what am I doing wrong? Ive tryed 704-2BT and 623-3 bios with same results, maybe a tiny bit better on 623-3.
Can someone give me a whole DFI timings/settings readout for a baseline of somwhere to start please? Im getting really pi$$ed off at these things!
on my pc only one of these sticks will run at a time but the one im running right now passes prime 254 2.5-3-2-5 all day long 1:!
just those timings set and 3120 all others set to auto
My newark doesnt like both sticks run same time, and thats why shes on the market to be sold.
stealth17 I am using 623-3. My timings are
CAS Latency 2.5
Ras to CAS delay 3
ras precharge 3
Cycle time (tras) 6
set to 1-1 ratio
1T timing
ALL the rest are on auto at the moment and I mean ALL the dram settings.
CPU Z says my Bank cycle time (trc) is 13
Dram Idle timer 16
I am using 2.80 volts as any less and she gets unstable from time to time.
I can hit 235FSb without any issues, since I like using the higher multi and tighter timings (I will start to tighten those timings up) this puts my sandy over 2.8ghz, but she gets up to 57c (but rock stable) so I am using 225fsb(2.7ghz) for now.
At 235 fsb, sandra gives me 7050 bandwidth.
I would think this would be a good place to start anyway :p:
Ive been running emboth in my infinity for past few days waiting onnew 64bits to arrive, so far there rock stable at 247X10 2.5-3-2-11-13-15 1T :toast:
