Yo Alien Grey,

The highest temp on both cores was 79°C which made me a little shaky.
Cetero censeo:
I canīt get my system stable at a memory speed faster than 1,200 MHz.
No matter what I do:shrug:
It's a strange problem. Everything runs stable with DDR1200MHz. When you try to change the DDR speed you can't have it stable anymore although the memory seems to be 100% stable.Quote:

I havenīt tried LinX without advancing channel A/B.
But I know for sure that Iīll receive a funny DIMM Clock Fine Delay about 1T on DIMM 1, 10T on DIMM 2, 1T on DIMM 3, 10T on DIMM 4.
That seems to be a very screwed up timing.
I set 300 ps advanced on channel B and just 250 ps on channel A because the lines of channel B are a little longer so I fell like making it even. Got me?

It's funny that it works for you. If I try to change one of the DRAM CLK Skews I get "red alerts" in ASUS PC Probe II.Quote:

Its about the same.. so its safe to assune that this is about normal usage..
tks greg.
I think it is. Yours needs more watt for the speed you are running it and greg.m's CPU is higher clocked.Quote:

@greg.m
What BIOS version are using for your FSB 480MHz?
0803 with 0902 icouldnt get my system stableQuote:

BIOS 0902 isn't better than BIOS 0803. Most users take my advice and who doesn't need this BIOS for some reason stays with BIOS 0803.
I think that the problem is the CPU and NB Clock Skew. But I'm not realy sure because with BIOS 0803 I have the same problems to get my system stable if I'm trying to run it at 8 X 465MHz.
Why it was stable at 8 X 465MHz and my OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500@DDR1117MHz and not with the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI is something I don't understand.:shrug:
With every speed that I tested the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI the memory was stable but it fails LinX.:confused:
Maybe the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI puts more strain on the NB than my OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 did and that fine tuning the skews would make these stability problems go away.:shrug:
Did you compare all the sub timings of each RAM kit in memset?Quote:

The G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI is always stable so there can't be very much difference in sub timings.
I don't think that the these stability problems in LinX are made by the memory. The only problem that I see is the skews. I think that steps of 100ps are to large for this board. With only a difference of 100ps between the CPU and NB Clock Skew there is not much you can do. You can delay the CPU Clock Skew 100ps more or you can keep them equal.
I see that Gigabyte boards have steps of 50ps. I don't know if there are any ASUS boards that have steps of 50ps.
There is also tREF. It has no huge impact on stability. That is true but starting a refresh every 3120T with 2 X 2 Giga DDR 1200MHz or more seems a bit to much for me.
Hey A-Grey do you think that the OCZ Blade PC2-8500 would help my overclocking problems?
It's very good memory that is cheaper than the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI.Quote:

It's worth a try for the price that this memory costs.
I'm going to try and get these memorys then. Wish me luck. :)
They seem to be good. Unfortunatly they aren't tested on an Intel Chipset.Quote:

I just saw this on OCZ website the OCZ Blade PC2-9600 Low Voltage. http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...e_blade_series
When they really can do DDR 1200MHz at 1.80V that's the kit you want.Quote:

They look promising but do they like to run on the RF.
Prize according to Fudzilla
"If all of these kits are like the one tested, these are some mean overclockers. The kits are both listed at OCZ's website and the 4GB DDR2-1066 XTC Platinum LV kit can be found here, while the 4GB Blade Series LV is here. Both kits are selling at German Alternate.de where the XTC Platinum sells for 63,90 and the fancy Blade heatsinks are a bit more expensive as it sells for 74,90."

Tony over at OCZ have tested them on a AMD system though, read it here, start at post 4
