Don't try yellow unless you switch bios. Soon as I get the time I am gonna try the new 5-10 bios. Seems to be better for yellow slots, which the dfi guys say do better with the higher voltage ram.

245x10 LDT@4x Vdimm 3.4V, after some burning, i won´t to try now 250 3.4V or 245 3.3V with burning i think i can get them, no??
Not bad for new BH-5 from Mushkin Blue Line witch did cost me 101€ :toast:
My 2x512 can do 230@1:1@1T,2,2,10,2,9,13,1,2,2,4,3120,1,BI=on,I,64 ,1,7,5,16,E,16,7,8
@3.1/3.2vDIMM with BIOS 331r1 (tictac). 235 will give me 2 errors for every 4 memtest #5 passes, even at 3.3vDIMM
So I have accepted 230 as my max fsb. I want to do 285x9 to max my cpu clock. Here is the timing:
285@3/4 divider@1T,2,2,10,2,2,9,13,1,2,2,2,3120,1,, BI=on,I,64,1,7,5,16,E,16,7,8
This timing gives me fsb of 213 and Bandwidth 1891. Superpi and 3dMark01 both give great results over 230 cpu and fsb. Bandwidth is quite decent, since it was 1911 using 230 fsb. But in this situation, I am not happy with the fact that fsb is only 213. I cannot use 5/6 divider to produce 230 fsb. But, I know it is stable at 230, but when I use 285x9 or even 280x9, I cannot use 5/6 to get close to 230fsb. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Have you tried upping your volts e268? I really can't do anything with this stuff below 3.0... Biggest difference I got out of switching one setting was the Data drive strength so far. After putting it on 1 I noticed a lot better OC, with my tref still at 3120.
Hitmaker have you tried that new bios yet? Seen alot of people using the 5-12 and yellow slots getting some good results on this high volt stuff. I am gonna give that a shot on Sun. Till then it's burn and burn away. I wasn't happy with this stuff at first, but after working with it I have come to like it alot. Lookin for a good way to actively cool it I ran across this old thread last night... http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.p...active+cooling
I tried the new bios, and similar results, the point is i have to do a real burning...Quote:

@aka-doc-: I have burned it at 235 fsb using 3.3vDIMM for 6 hrs, but 2 errors(always in pairs) for every 4 memtest #5 passes.
Data Drive Strength=2 makes it worst.
I took the heat spreader off one of the two dimms, but no help. I have since put it back on. In fact one dimm can do 240 on its own, and the other can do 235 on its own, but 2 together can only do 230. The heat spreader is warm to the touch (I think I have enough air flow with my xp120 and fan, and another 80 mm fan drawing air in, 120 mm fan exhausting air out. I have not tried blowing air directly at the dimms since it is hard to anchor the 80 mm fan there, and since the heat spreader is just warm to the touch.
Mine have run much better after pulling the heatspreaders off. Looks like you need to focus on burning one of those in at a time. Sucks cause it takes sooo long if you only have one pc.
i tested my 1gb dual pack yesterday, I'm using a venice 3000+ and dfi nf4 ultra d, and using stock timings, I can't get it to run at all in dual channel mode, I get errors on a few tests - mostly test 8. What settings do I have to change to get it running in dual channel? Even when I bump up voltage its not at all stable. Any advice? I dont know why it would mess up in dual channel - it can't even manage 200mhz in dual channel.
Here are my 1GB Mushkin Blue. They can DDR 500 at 3.5V at 1,5-2-2-5.
That is very nice. I cannot even do 230, since I only have 3.3vDIMM. Can you do 250@10x multi? your 2M score looks low.Quote:

As I said earlier single channel works fine, but dual channel does not. Are there settings I should change, or should I try a bios flash (Im currently on a dfi nf4ulra-d with 3-31 bios)?
Try these settings. It worked for me @230 1T, 2,2,,6,2,9,13(minimum),01(minimum),2,2(minimum),4( minimum,3120,1 , BI=on, Increase, 64,Dram Strength=1,7,5,16,E,16,7,8.Quote:

These are nF3 timings, but shoud be ok for nF4.
Bandwidth in Memtest is terrible for 250MHz 1.5-2-2-5. Should be over 3000MB/s.Quote:

That is likely due to the fact that Ramguy is running at 2251 MHz cpu. If he increases multi to get close to 2.5G, Memtest BW will increase. But then he might not be stable as I can get 230x10 stable, but at 230x11 is not stable.Quote:

the same Mushkin Blue that Outpost has been selling? Not sure if I want the Muskin Blue or to spend a tad more on OCZ Gold.
thanks
It looks the same, and spec is the same.Quote:

I think these results are comparable to OCZ VX. Somehow OCZ VX is more popular since they introduced it first. Both has pretty good support.
BTW, I bought it from Outpost, and I hear that they have excellent service, and liberal return policy.
I got my 6800 Ultra from Outpost bout this time last year (for $500 too, back when they were $600+)
ne ways, thanks.
Xtrem thread revival :woot:
just bought 2x512mb sticks from Jinu, When they arrive im gunna start memtesting at 2-2-2-5 240mhz 3.2v and do 50 passes before moving up even 1 Mhz :p:, always done crap burn in before so mite aswell go for it with these :p:
Wait and see if the pcb is black or green. If black, it is original Mushkin LvL 2 that was leftover for warranty replacements, this will be original BH-5. If green BP808, it is new UTT.
The original BH-5 does 2-2-2 with only 2.7-2.9v up to 230MHz, new UTT needs 3.2v+ to do those timings.
I got the old BH-5 :)
I hve the green pcb, and I can do 2226 @ 2.8v. See my sig.
Yeah, but your ram is only at 213. Original BH-5 would do that speed with only 2.7v usually. Mine does 228 at 2.8v, 2-2-2-11-1T
cartmanea there are two types of UTT... CH-UTT & BH-UTT
BH-UTT is damn similar to the old BH5, from all things I've heard it is actually the same, only made at a later date.
CH-UTT is similar to CH5 in the process that is used, but it has also been vastly improved.
BH-UTT will do 2-2-2 at lower voltages but that doesn't necessarily mean it will do any better than CH-UTT at 3.2v
CH-UTT usually needs 2.9v+ to do 2-2-2 timings above DDR400... but once it gets passed a certain threashold it takes off very well
From experience I think CH-UTT is my preferred chip when using 1GB+ of RAM
Yes I know there are two types of UTT. The Mushkin Blue that were on BP808 pcb's were using mostly CH UTT, that is why the stuff on black pcb's with original BH-5 overclocked better with lower voltage.
I had two sets of these, one on black with old BH-5 and one on green BP808 with new CH UTT. They both hit about the same limit with 3.2v, but the old BH-5 did much better with lower voltage, so that is the set I kept.
I chose to run it like this because I needed the high CPU speed. My two sticks can run 230@1:1 2,2,2,6 1T at 2.8vQuote:
