a direct transfer to overseas bank is almost free from NZ, or just use Paypal
12 sticks left at newegg, 0900 EST.
GONE
Jess, Email me, I have friends in the UK, prolly work something out. I send the stick, you pay one of them for it. uwackme@hotmail.com
Well, these sticks are WEIRD.
One passes 250Mhz flawlessly now after some burnin (SP primes stable @ 245Mhz, 3D stable 250Mhz) The other stick passes same BUT.... gets an error in memtest #2 ?? Same place everytime but no errors in other tests and no failure in Windows use of any kind. SP prime stable @235Mhz, and this is at 3.25Vdimm not 3.5Vdimm. Ill have to go do Windows testing on the Infinity @ 3.5V. But it gets the test#2 error on Infinity or NF7-S and at any Mhz...200-250. and any timings 11,3,3,2.5 to 8,2,2,2.0; I just dont know what to make of the result.
I ordered 2 more sticks, see if I cant get a second stick that does 250Mhz solid without weirdness.
Thanks
unwackme. :)
uwackme gimme your utt lovin to my dfi and i'll bump them for you up to 270 at 3.5 :D
Damn, newegg sold out again.
just get the ocz value utts. Twinmoss seems to have a dying issue.
You got any links to the dying issues, i would like to read more about it.Quote:

Just because the ram ICs are rated for those voltages (while properly cooled) doesn't mean all the other components on the pcb can take them. OCZ uses resisters and capacitors on their pcb's that are rated for higher voltage in their VX ram, thats why they are warranted up to 3.6v, Twinmos probably isn't using anything special on theirs.
On a side note, I just took the vdimm-vio mod off my nf7-s and am running my Twinmos SP 2x512 now at 2.6v. They clock higher at lower voltages until you exceed 3.0v, which my board can't do at stock. With 2.6v they'll do 2-3-2 at 215 MHz in my board. Seeing as how I do more school work than gaming lately I'm very happy with that setting. Plus I don't have to mod any hardware and worry about having extra fans blowing over my ram ;)
More work on these stcks.
Powering up on IDE WinXP with APIC enabled, I had no sound/lan drop out issues @ 250Mhz on stick 1, and 245Mhz on stick 2. Stick 2 has the Mtst #2 error, and wont go past 245Mhz regardless of voltage. But this is the first time ever, NO sound errors/static/silence with APIC enabled at high FSB. On all other ram ever Ive ever used, sound would die on me over 235Mhz with APIC on. the RAID0 has APIC off, I leave APIC on with the IDE install so i can easily switch back/forth for testing.
Hopefully in the next 2 sticks I can find a match to stick 1.
Stick 2 was actually the best performing UTT yet vs voltage. Doing @3.25V 245Mhz 2T 8,3,3,2.5 and 235Mhz 2T 8,2,2,2.0 and 220Mhz 1T 8,2,2,2.0 and 235Mhz 1T 8,3,3,2.5. Stick 2 max's out at 245Mhz 1T 8,2,2,2.0 @ 3.5Vdimm, so it caught up to the two UTT 50D sticks of TMII I have...245mhz max.
Stick 1 @ 3.25V wont go 1T past 210Mhz, and 235Mhz 2T 8,3,3,2.5 is best StressPrime/3D stable. But give it TheVolt (3.5Vdimm) and it shines at 250Mhz 1T 8,2,2,2.0 rock solid.
Im sure this stuff will all shine on A64, with NForce2 being so picky about things. Funny how the memtest#2 error has no effect on anthing the system does. Primes for hours, games for hours etc. Ive never seen that before, must be something interacting between NF2 controller and one of the rams, but it isnt really a defective stick. Anyone ever seen this behavior before?
how do you tell how many are left in stock on newegg? I can't find any it anywhere!

If you do that, please be sure to clear / empty your cart.Quote:

Also, my 3 sticks just shipped.. from NJ.. this sucks.. since I'm only 15 min away from their SoCal office :(
So instead of getting them tomorrow, I have to wait till Friday.. EEK.. I hate waiting :P
I should complain.. at least I got a few sticks.
SAD
i hear ya bro, im about 30mins away and mine shipped from nj too. But I guess this makes it fair for the people on the east coast
According to newegg there should be more TMSP in today.
@SAD | your cart won't hold items back, just hit update under quantity and it will show you the current stock
@Shroomer | did you order any of that Adata ? I ordered a gig, figured it's worth the risk at <$100
Astral, a friend of mine got 1G of that Adata... turned out to be not great. Still dirt cheap, he had other uses for it. Numbers all matched, but was mediocre ram.
I switched the sticks around, #1 in dimm1 #2 in dimm3, the memtest#2 error vanished, the pr run 245mhz flawlessly dual channel 1T 8,2,2,2.0 @3.5Vdimm.
Moreover this pr, running 245Mhz have no APIC on sound/lan dropout issue. Im a happy camper. Still hope next pr has a stick that matches the #1 stick better in MHZ/Vdimm behavior and allows 250Mhz... man that last 5Mhz is a beeeatch.
uwackme | I've got a gig of SP on the way as well, still putting my stuff back together on the DFI system, should be done before they get here. Probably use the Asus to test at high voltage, have a booster that I've never used but I've heard of too many burning up on these DFI boards.
What voltage and timings did your friend test the Adata at? If they suck I'll just throw them in a folding rig.
Good luck with the new sticks :toast:
uwackme, is there an advantage to having APIC enabled or disabled? I've always disabled it because I was told it increased overclockability on my nf7-s. Is there any performance gain either way or is it just improved compatability because of having more interrupts?
On the Adata, he tried all the way to 3.3Vdimm, nothing helped they just suk'd. he put them in a Intel machine.
On APIC.... no real reason other than supposed interupt handling improvements over non-APIC. Im sure AMD/Intel put it there for a reason, just been a bugaboo with NForce2 at high FSB's. APIC on works fine on A64 systems and P4 systems I believe. Though some benchmark numbers seem to be a smidge higher with APIC off. Real world use, I'd want APIC on if I can have it, just because I can.
Lo, picked a couple of these cheap twinmos 512mb sticks@ Cas2-2-2-5 3.5v from :

I just picked two sticks at random :) Well worth the money.
Not tested memtest yet.

Second set of SP Twinmos arrived, week 6 2005, AA4T good stuff. Currently 230Mhz @ 3.25V 2x512M will continue to push.
First set crashed in StressPrime largeFFT after 4 hours, so I have reched the magical 8 hours @ 250Mhz yet.... working on it. 245Mhz is flawless... that last 5Mhz is a beeeatch.
