I would clear the #5 first than go #7. If I have time I would run all test but these 2 usually tells me if I am going to hit wall or not.

I would clear the #5 first than go #7. If I have time I would run all test but these 2 usually tells me if I am going to hit wall or not.
I left it with #7 for 2 hours(about 8 passes) and no errors, should I move on to #5 now?
Sure sounds good :) After all that is done, I suggest testing it with windows memtest as well. Even the ones that pass memtest 86 have tendency to fail on windows memtest especially on A64,
Yes that's true. At the very first time there were more than 4 errors within 10% but now seems fine with about 2000%
And one thing that is confusing me, why my OCCT CPU toture failed at 250x10 before I went for memtest86 and now it could last for 1 hr + now? is there something to do with the on die memo controller or just about the memory?(I quit the program since I had to order pizza online)
Thanks for getting back to me Jinu117
There seems to be certain break in happening with VX from all reports I've seen. I don't know as i've only had about 1 hours tops on each VX chips I tried yet and more worried about divider atm. You might have to keep testing over time to see where your break in ends :)
Unless your mobo is brand new, I doubt it is mem controller or mobo that makes you able to fly now. Gotta be something with memory itself.
I need to ask you a favor :) Have you tried divider on memory and see if it causes you problem? Thanks in advance. Most of us seems to have problem over 260FSB once divider is set to 166.
Wow, is this stuff discontinued now????
MWave say's so on their site. I hope that's not the case :(
Only place I can find it is NCIX out of Canada for $281 US
Interesting... either Fry's sucked up all inventory dry or the memory batch isn't as good as it used to be to mass produce this. Or RMA rate is too high where it isn't worth selling the product. Think first one is valid if the deal wit Fry's went through.
it would suck if the vx was discontinued, i run my system at 260 and was looking forward to trying out a pair
i dont think it can be discontinued 1 month after its launch....
discontinued i hate this :( last time i decided to buy ocz 3700eb ordered it to a friend coming from usa he cant find 3700eb and get me a 3500eb now vx gone :( hey ocz people can you do rezervation for me at least for ddr booster i missed the vx train lol :D
How you cool the Memor at these voltages ?
Only the HS or a Fan (more) ?
you can just place a fan over the memory modules^^^^
EDIT: here is a thread on the topic
finally someone other than me who bought vx from mwave.Quote:

I've been eyeballing this memory since the original VX thread was posted, I'd like to see a 2x256 mb kit.... to compare it with my BH-5 :/
Now I just need to get an A64 and I'd be set :D
Extreme shortage of 3500+? Interesting. FYI, there will be 4 coming up for sale (3 winchester and 1 newcastle in few days). used less than 1 hour each :P For winchesters 1 boots no problem with -55c or below, 1 boots fine -55c above, 1 doesn't like -30c below. New castle hasn't arrived yet (monday) but I have feeling I am going all out FX-55 in few days anyway.
Check the FS section on CPU tuesday or wed :)
Gone already......glad I got some ordered from MWave on Wed. It's sitting in the Fedex dist. center, should have it Mon.Quote:

Prolly samsung will come out with another 'good' ones. As for vx, imo ocz already exhausted their chips that passed speed binning. Is this gonna be a trend? Released a batch of high perf. module, discontinued and move on.....
To Jinu117, no I haven't tried memo divider yet but I will do that for you. Last night I ran 288 passes #5 ot 250MHz and there's been 1 error per pass since loop 5x. And later I tried 255MHz and there were 20 error per pass average. So should I go back to 250MHz or stick on 255MHz and see what's gonna happen?
No this is not a new trend...the issue is we pre test ram and not all modules pass the test....we could just realease without pre testing but im sure you would all hate us within a few days.Quote:

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound so harsh, I was just trying to make sure that they weren't discontinued like everybody was saying.
OCZ is teh pone :banana:
It's true I'm not a good english writer, I don't want to be annoying but can you tell me what did you wrote, please... :(Quote:
