quick question on psu, sorry off topic.
does having a nonPFC psu even matter if you're using an UPS with line filtering?

no it doesnt :)
Hey guys, do you think this bandwidth could be real?
8551MB/s on a 2.8E @ 260x14 3-4-4
no way that possible
i gat my vx and they stable in 270mhz at 2-2-2-5 3.7v and not stable at 275mhz with the same timing
3.7v it to much for the vx :confused:
that looks like 270 3-4-4-7 ?
omg my mistake (3-4-4-7 = my old corsair)Quote:

Be careful that you are cooling the modules VERY WELL at 3.7v. Put a strong fan blowing right on them. Heat will kill RAM. Only use as much voltage as necessary. Just adding more voltage is not good. We only warranty the VX to 3.5v.Quote:

i have a question for all those having their VX in 250-260 range on Neo2....
when you're testing for stability, are you having any problems in keeping this RAM error-free in memtest for more that 1 hour or not being able to "primie" at all even though games and SuperPI 32M are OK?
my first set was doing DDR512 memtest 9hrs and Prime95 no probs.... my current set gives me errors at above 1hr even at DDR400 and oddly enough i can't even Prime if i don't set max mem to ~800MB (i know, prime95 and 1GB = problems u say) even though i could do it with my first set, not to mention 2x256MB BH-5....
i need your input, please ;)
I've got no problems with mine. Click the link in my sig and notice I can run 12 hours of Prime without incident. The key is keeping the memory and Booster nice and cool. ;)
damn Conrad, when i first saw what your mems were doing a while ago i was impressed....Quote:

I'm actually running a little bit higher than 263MHz now. This stuff has gotten better over time. I'm just saving the ooohs and aaahs for my next rig. :D
After seeing what the new G.Skill kits can do, I'm tempted to purchase a set. I had pretty good results with my 2x256MB kit when they first dropped, so I might consider playing with G.Skill TCCD in the 2x512MB variety one of these days.
Look for the 90nm Winchester Prime95 thread on XS. Many won't Prime at all, even at 200fsb.Quote:

i have no clue what's up with that so i guess i will just give up on that VX set ( i'm sorry Andy, i appreciate ALL your help, bro ;) )
ok andy i will, now i put 80mm fan to cooling the vx, and i give 3.6v (fullQuote:

I have a question. memtest86 shows exactly 1 error per loop since around loop#50 at 250MHz 2-2-2-8 or 10, howcome?
#50 ?Quote:

ram is getting too hot.Quote:

What is too hot for memory on those extreme condition (voltage & speed) Got 2 60mm fan directly on top of memory (I found it that these cools better than typical 2 80mm due to pressure of air it generates) and heatsink on booster and memory (inside heatspreader using infrared thermo) reads tops 36c (about 7-8c above ambient) with 3.5v 255 2-2-2-5) What are the temps of your sticks for those who can go 250+ with decent voltage? Just trying to figure out how much more room I got with this pair. (Oh, I use memtest86 only to test windows boot issue now. Windows memtest seems much better at finding if it will fail system or not more so than memtest86... it usually is stable 3-4mhz below what memtest86 is stable at).
Hmmm need to pick up VX back from my friend who played 270 2-2-2-5 with it :P (think he got it to 3.6v though)
Bit off topic... I am starting to really like this gigabyte K8NS 939ultra. No divider issue with VX, no wierd things I should be worried about, everything is working like charm with F5 bios.
I think PC Power & Cooling is even better, I own one and it's really the best PSU I've tested and owned. :cool:Quote:

Don't forget you are runnig a half multiplier (x10,5), your memory is now running at 2893/11 = 263 MhzQuote:

This VX memory sounds great, I just got my new system, still trying to tweak most of the things. So far my CPU runs at 2920Mhz stock cooled (FX-55) and the card at 600/600 (Powercolor X800XT)
I have G.Skill memory though and I can't get it to run at thight timings above 220Mhz, so I'm running 265 2.5-3-3-7 which costs me a lot of points I think. Don't know if I'm missing something about this memory, cause I don't think the G.Skill is that great... :confused: So far I only got 33k (Not tweaked and using WinXP though)
Pump that FSB up to 290, you'll see if what it's like then :toast:Quote:
