I've ordered components to my new system:
AMD A64 Winchester 3500+
2x 512Mb DDR A-Data pc4800
MSI NEO2 Plat.
CM Stacker
The winchester is temp. for the FX... jst waiting for more cash ;). It will be aircooled when it arrives, going for a Lightspeed after newyear. Shouldn't the A-Data PC4800 be a potential GSkill killer? Just wondering if anyone here has good experience with it? I'll be posting results when I've tortured my rig later this week...
Great forum btw
I've tried the Adata DDR600 2x512MB (single stick kit) and the result was not that great. They can barely run the rated speed in single channel but definitely not even DDR520 in dual channel mode. Meanwhile, GSkill 2x512MB is doing great on exactly the same system at DDR560 dual channel mode.
Welcome to XtremeSystems!
It doesnt matter who's TCCD's you get currently as the modules will hit ~ 285FSB @ spd on average without heavy voltage.
what platform?Quote:

ALL TCCD modules?! Are yields that good?
So far it seems so, they go very far on very little voltage.
Are they better than 3700 eb?

so far i've come across 3 different brands of tccd. patriot xbl, gskill, and PQI. So far all of them have done DDR550@2.5-3-3-7 w/ 2.7v. however my patriot xbl seems to be the cheapest and better clocking of the three.
i'll be picking up some corsair XL's and ocz plat rev2's hopefully soon. still looking for some golden sticks.
welcome to XtremeSystems fxfreak :toast:
yepp, from what i heard theres not such a big difference between the different tccd brands, its more like there are good and not so good sticks from all brands :)
the adata pc 4800 DDR600 was the first ddr600 tccd memory, so they probably have older tccd chips? i dont know, im just speculating...
if i were you i would just get the cheapest tccd thats rated for a high speed :D
Ok. Anyone seen GENERIC Samsung with TCCD chips yet?
What was the highest you hit with the Patriot @ those timings?Quote:

Yup, had a pair that did 250 @ 2.5-3-3-7 2.7v (all I tested). Bought them 8 months back I think.Quote:

Is the fact that both of these sticks I got do 300 lucky? They're both 512 modules.. XMS LL pro with the led's.. I don't want to remove the heatspreaders because I'm not so sure how they're wired (they show activity.. so they might be soldered on somehow? ehhh)Quote:

i would have to see side by side but EB's been known to do 270~280 3-2-2-x with some voltage reasonably consistantly and you would need to get out to 290 or more to match the bandwidth that 275 3-2-2-x.Quote:

What voltage at that speed and those timings?Quote:

how many Volts we talkin about? 3.0V?Quote:

Ive seen 280 screens but i dont remember at what voltage.
Wich Ram can do around 280fsb with accepteble Timings? An a max od 3.0-3.1 V.....
OCZ EL 4400 Gold? OCZ 3200 Plat Rev.2 ? Patriot 3200?.....
ocz3200rev2 or that gskill rated for ddr550 2.5-3-3-7 is all i can think of. But i was a bh-5 guy, those 3's still dont look very good to me but the times are a change'n
Local shop to me, Discovery Computers. They only have TCCC in now.
I already sold the tccd sticks, too..
The ocz3200rev2 are they as good in 2x512MB? I ned 1Gig of memory.....
And will reach around 280fsb, 300fsb isnt realistic, isnt it?
for a gig of ram, i would say its possible to do 280, but 300 is would be pretty damn lucky, i don't know from experience but from what i've read the athlon64 onboard memory controller just plain can controll that much ram that fast, its still a better idea to get 1 gig or ram though, its faster for everything but bandwidth benchmarks, i've got some real kick ass bh-5 sticks(2x256) but when im in a game my fps really lags becuase i simply don't have enough ram
This sucks. I hoped that eventually ALL noname/oem Samsung memory would become TCCD. It's been a while already :(
I'm gonna buy some tccd memory now.. but not sure what i shall go for...
Adata 4800
PQI 3200 turbo
Geil 3200 ultra X
I'm sitting with DFI lanparty UT, and no booster or anything. They are all almost the same price... What do u guys think is the safest buy? Hoping for 240-250 2-3-3-6 or better...
Are those 3200XL?Quote:

I've tried the ADATA DDR600 / PQI 3200 Turbo and the G.Skill LE.....2 x 512mb.
Not alot of difference.....all can do cl2.5 7/3/3 1T at 275 fsb on my K8N Neo2, with 2.6-2.7 volts.
Edit: I did not try for more :)
I am writing again.
I am using 2x512 Adata DDR600 on P5P800 board with vdimm = Vo mod.
before mod:
Single 1:1 300 fsb @ 2.85V 3-4-4-8 stable
Dual 1:1 295 fsb @ 2.85V 3-4-4-8 stable
Dual 1:1 275 fsb @ 2.85V 2.5-3-3-5 stable
Dual 1:1 200 fsb @ 2.85V 2-2-2-5 stable
after mod:
Dual 1:1 285 fsb @ 3.34 V 2.5-3-3-5 stable
Dual 1:1 225 fsb @ 3.34 V 2-2-2-5 stable
Dual 1:1 240 fsb @ 3.7 V 2-2-2-5 unstable
As they say; memory controller limited?
