tried the Gskill F2-8500PHU2-2GBHZ on my asus P5wd dh deluxe today and i must say , the memory got a lot of potential.
only the asus won't let me run 500+ 1:1......no idea why :(
Tech Spec
Brand G.SKILL
Model F2-8500PHU2-2GBHZ
Type 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM
Capacity 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Speed DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
Cas Latency 4
Timing 4-4-4-5
Voltage 2.4V
Very nice memory , do some 3-3-3 testing later on.

Wow, very nice mate :toast:
Nice, Rol-co. You should also run unbuffered test. I'm sure you will get over 6000.
this was just a quick test, more to come sierra, first i had to find out what the asus would do with this.
strange thing however is that it won't let me run above 485 1:1 just like the 8000ul, problaby a board issue.
will do unbuffered too, and some 3-3-3 testing.
485 is already a very good result with this board...Quote:

only 1:1 it won't let me
please help me, i have the same mobo and cpu, corsair and Gskill memories but i cant to reach anything above 1000Mhz of RAM ...

Can you post BIOS settings ... thanks ...
and some c3 testing with the g.skill
nice set of memory

Very nice job Rol-co! These G.Skills rocks! :clap:
i sent you a pm..
How do you get the dividers to work?
i cant get it to boot other than 1:1 i got no idea what i am doing wrong... do certain things need to be disabled to make this work?
thanks
What voltage is that? Don't tell me please, it's still 2.4v? :DQuote:

finally DDR2 looks good even to me :)
Actually quite a few people here run 32M. You just need to look. Benchmark stability depends on the benchmark. If you're trying to break a speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats, you don't really care about 24/7 stability. Same is true for drivers at the Indianapolis 500.Quote:

This forum has always been about pushing a system to the absolute limits, hence the name "XtremeSystems". It's only in the past year or so that newer members have tried to shift the focus.
especialy for you.....3d c3 1:1 testing :)Quote:

Guy's
Sorry i cant explain why its working here but not with your's, i modded the board
Its running with a thermaltake big typhoon chipset cooler and 1,95 vmch just for sure
Awsome Aquamark score :eek:
Run some 3Dmark01se :fact:
Edit i think you are in 1st palce here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=92232
Please can you test something for us? Please set Vmch = 1.60V FSB at default 266 and try memory divider 1066, please ...Quote:

Big Typhoon for Chipset? :D
If it is true (and not the little extreme spirit that is a bit like it) i demand pictures NOW :D

And please read this. I'd tried to explain to you in the other thread. I encourage everyone to take a read on this article if you're wondering why you can't keep your memory async after 370FSB, and why you can't keep 1:1 after 420FSB, etc. Unless heavily modded, 1:1 600MHz on this board with current BIOS is IMPOSSIBLE.

Excellent clocking, Rol-co. :clap: I wish I had some soldering skill.
you asking we deliver :DQuote:

@lopri
yep youre right about the strap thingie :) but somehowe a few board's in combinaton with a sertain brand memory can get higher than the 370-420.
maximum unmodded was 454-456 , sierra bound here reach't 464 unmodded, loosing timings wil help too.
maximum modded

As Rol-Co will tell you, each P5W DH is different. Some will do well beyond 420FSB unmodded, while others won't. Highest I've gotten my unmodded board is 460FSB @ 1:1. I've gone higher than that using another ratio. So the part about the boards not going beyond 420 1:1 is inaccurate. The article does not take into account the fact that the boards vary in overclockability. Same reason why all CPU's don't overclock the same, even though they went through the same manufacturing process.Quote:

You are not right, my problem is not in high FSB but at default ...! I cant use 1067MHz of memory at default ... this Tonys article is not aplicable to Asus board, this board does not have a 1333 strap ...Quote:

Sierra: The FSB #'s I quoted are examples. The reason I'm saying this in several threads is that so many people think it's either 1) They're doing something wrong, or 2) The components are duds. I've seen a guy who first RMA'ed his mobo, then memory ($350!) because of this issue. I luckily learned about this, right after I've got my stuff, from Gary Key (a great reviewer @AnandTech whose opinion I totally trust) so I knew what to expect. But there are manny puzzled people that are wasting their time and I wanted to help them.
ORB: I must have confused you with someone else. Sorry. There was someone whose board does 400x9 and memory does 1080 @266FSB and was upset because his memory doesn't do 4:5 @400FSB.
Rol-co: You are officially the 2nd person who shocked me in this "Xtreme" forum. With your Big Typhoon chipset cooling. :D I thought there was a chipset version of Big Typhoon out on the market. Even at first sight at the pic, I thought the Big Typhoon was sitting on top of the CPU until I look closer and found the phase. Scary stuff.
Sorry, but I don't trust any professional reviewers. In fact I stopped reading reviews a long time ago. I only trust my own results as well as the results of fellow benchers who I respect and who think like me. Does Anandtech get its hardware from the stores? I doubt it. It's probably sent to them from the manufacturers. That's a red flag, IMO. But I digress.Quote:

Many people don't even know that disabling Hyper Path 3 helps a great deal with overclocking on the P5W DH. I found that out on my own. When I get a board, I go through the BIOS settings one by one. It's a very time-consumming process, but I learn a lot. People nowadays don't want to learn. They want everything handed to them on a silver platter. They learn nothing that way. And they are also the first people to give up.
ok,test for the desperate guy's here :DQuote:

tried all dividers with 1m , and highest with 32m too, so i think the rest of the dividers will do the same :)
a little point @ my side,......looks like the memory need more voltage for this instead of the same speed @ lower divider and overclocked. dunno why... maybe its just me.
Put some fans off to heat up the chipset, i think he can do with less voltage too but isn't possible becouse of the modded board.

even @ higher fsb 280
http://82.173.172.10/Rol-Co/testxs3kl.jpg
Whats voltage did you use for 3-3-3-5-20 480Mhz ?
How far can you go with those HZ with only 2.2v and 2.0v with those 3-3-3-8 timings ?
