There are atleast 7-10 people here now who has the new OCZ VX and growing every day!
So somebody of you must have got some results, the ocz guys have posted some, but I want to know how you are doing with your retail sticks.
So could you please post your results, it would be great for deciding between them and the gskill pc4400 :)
Thanks
No one has gotten them in their hands yet I don't think, only ordered them yesterday.
sucks that they dont make em in 2x256 :(
I have 4 sticks of VX and a new DDR Booster
Results shortly
awesome possumQuote:

i will get up some results asap with my DFi 250gb lanparty.:up:
cause people of like you other can't get a hold of this ram.Quote:

Can't you deliver more ram to excaliberpc or newegg ?
I see 266 3-2-x-x - Awesome for a gig. at most likely a EB killer.
It's because of people like FUGGER that this RAM even exists. Show some respect.Quote:

They look so sweet .....
dam I wish i had a job :( :shakes: :idea:
so far 260 @ 2-2-2-x is running fully stable as promised by OCZ but, haveing some problems getting extra bandwith/ 3766mb/s 3.5vdimm.
You do realize you're using a half divider, right? Your RAM is actually only running at 247...
Jesus.... that's sweet. Speeds like that so quickly. Makes me drool.

very simple;-)
please use 9x divider
Yes you are ;) 0.5 multi
260*9 / 9,5 = ~247
man I was too slow there.. :stick:
Try 260*9 or 260*10 if your cpu can take it. Btw anyone with 875 platform?
Tra la la. Edited because above poster edited.
sorry bout that guys brian fart lol
lower the multi, crank up the fsb, tell us what u get :D
:mad: ???????? it fails at the same time everytime. WTh
Uh ohs. Not good :(
What's vdimm on that?
3.4 but need some burn in b4 i can say it is verified
is that 2-2-2-18 right, or is 18 really high? :stick: :confused:Quote:

work the ram up slow guys, also try cas1.5 cas2.5 and cas3
your cpu multiplyer is 9.5. that makes the ram run at 247. change to a whole multi.
that is what I was afraid of. Me getting sticks like that. I think I would cry. Try as Tony suggested, ramp up slowly and be sure to have enough volts AND cooling when doing so. I hope you get better results my friend.
BH5 always used to get better with age so dont be too disappointed with your results, they are only virgin sticks. Leave them running overnight and see if they improve... do you have a fan over them?
Maybe better off keeping the posts in the original thread from Ryan.
Theres an offical thread .
If he was running 247 before and now cant get 250 it might have something to do with the fact hes running a whole gigabyte at 1t on the DFI board .
;-)
Another thing is with one error a pass I bet that will go away after some burn in , no problem . Just benchmark it for a while at those speeds and higher , then it should calm down . Eva was having the same thing happen
Gold VX love a bit of a burn in for at least 6-24hrs at a time and remember these modules are warrantied to 3.5v -/+ 5% = 3.675v vdimm max so also try 3.6v vdimm and see how far you go.. with cooling of course :)
i never did memory burn ins or believed in them before until trying Gold VX - i used the method outlined at http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...&threadid=1860 - i burn in at the speed of ram with tightest timings where memtest errors occur like 3-10 every 2-30 passes for at least 6-15hrs
first arrival 2x 512MB Gold VX on P4C800-E
228mhz 2-2-2-6 at 3.5v max PASSED
233mhz 3-2-2-6 at 3.5v max PASSED
240-250mhz 3-2-2-6 at 3.5-3.7v all have 10,000 of errors
burn in 6-15hrs at a time for 3-5 burn in sessions as outlined at http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...&threadid=1860 and now i can do 240mhz 3-2-2-6 at 3.6v error free/PASSED and 250mhz 2.5-2-2-5/3-2-2-8 at 3.6-3.7v has like 1-3 errors every 15-35 passes in memtest86+ v1.40
I'm working on more burn ins to aim for 250mhz 3-2-2-8 error free for P4C800-E at least before testing AMD64 hehe
Why are you running it in CAS3? Where did 250 Mhz @ 2-2-2-5 go :(
Hes using intel, they seem not to perform as well on intel
Gold VX is optimised for AMD64, if you read i'm using Intel P4C800-E board which does 228mhz to 2-2-2-6 and cas3 and cas2.5 allows the ram to clock higher on Intel boards
Also CAS 2, 2.5/3 don't mean much performance wise.. i'd rather have 250mhz 3-2-2-6/8 then 240mhz 2-2-2-6 regardless of platform
Ahh, my bad. Guess I should pay more attention while working. Your sig does say AMD though.
/me waits for people with AMD platforms to get their VX ;)
yeah i'll test Gold VX on my AMD64 systems after my Intel burn in testing sessions hehe
Interesting post eva.. Ill make sure to burn in my VX extensively now

ok everyone talking about 2-2-2-x , what about 2.5-3-3-7 can it reach 300MHz ?
still no one is willing to try these on a NFII System? surely someone must be bored and curious.
I think anything over 3.6 will bring nothing. You start to get diminishing results and perhaps worse performance from extra noise and heat on the sticks above 3.6v.

At what volts? The consistency does not look good... :rolleyes:Quote:

That thingy is called a Choke Coil by the way,,, after further research:D

well ususaly the sam at 3-2-2- is the same as the max at any timings
remeber nooby this is a PC-3200 part , not every single one will do 270 , especialy with 2x512 at 1T on the DFI LOL
if mine can do 260 or higher I would be quite happy... 265 and I would never sell them, not even to my dying mother. lol.
