It seems like your memory controller is on the verge of stability. Give it slightly more vNB

@Ket
I noticed the geil sticks in your sig. I just ordered a kit of the 2x1 pc8500 CL5 sticks for the family rig, any comment as to the ICs they might have or performance i might see?
should i tack on a spare hs?

The sticks run perfectly cool. You will probably hit ~1150 as top speed @ 5-5-5, 2.2v or so. As for the ICs.. no idea, some in-house geil stuff is all I know.

If so, it meen that Win MemTest is more hard for RAM than IntelBurnTest, OCCT, Prime95 and DOS MemTest86+.

Will try it when come home. I am at work at this moment.
Keep in touch my friends

I don't know if the first three can be considered memory stability tests. I do not, however, have much faith in MemTest86+, as I've had systems which pass it but won't boot into Windows

[Dee]

Me too. when you run MemTest from a CD or bootable ISO it doesn't take the Windows load into account. My usual method for testing if RAM is "stable enough" is Super Pi 32M test, OCCT "Mix", and Windows MemTest. If it ain't stable, crank the voltage up or loosen some timings. If it passes these tests but crashes in gaming, you're probably clocked just a little too high. Don't be greedy!

For me, the best stability tool is 24/7 usage

thanks! that sounds like just what i need.
although i'll probably try to hit some cl4 numbers.

Wow! Nice job!
Sorry for the offtopic, can u give me your bios config for 550 fsb stable?

[Monstru]

Good work

I can't remember the vNB & vFSB to more than 2 d.p but that should guide you.

MP = 7
FSB = 550
Ram Speed = 1320
CPU Voltage : 1.3425v
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.50v
FSB Termination Voltage : ~1.25v
DRAM Voltage : 2.3v
North Bridge Voltage : ~1.39v
South Bridge Voltage 1.5 : 1.5v
South Bridge Voltage 1.1 : 1.1v

These are not optimized at all and may be overkill, especially the vNB, I just guessed and benched.

Good work

Thanks

Thank you very much! Will try it soon! But, first of all:
I`ve just decided my problem about passing Win MemTest!!!
As I`ve already said before, I can pass IntelBurnTest, Prime95, OCCT and DOS MemTest86+ with no errors @2,06VDimm (real).
But! I need 2,10(real) to pass Win MemTest with no errors!
Why??? How? Win MemTest is the most killing Ram test?

Yes, seems to be true, I wouldn't have thought it. I am running 2 instances of it now with 890MB set in each one (I have found this to be the best way to run it if you have 2GB of ram, as it produces a higher NB temp meaning it's causing more stress).

NB temp is 50*C, and I had to bump up vdimm from 1.97 to 1.99v and I'm now able to run it for hours with no errors. It seems like a nice little program, I seriously underestimated it.

Good to hear you got it stable.

[WaterFlex]

thanks, my friend!
By the way, I have 50*C NB temp under load too

[Ket]

Dho.. I think I might start getting somewhere with OCing my memory now. Being so used to the 975X and various voltages being "tied", I completely forgot about needing to raise NB voltage. I'm going to hit the NB up with 1.7v and monitor how styable things are. My case has great airflow so I shouldn't need to slap a fan on the NB.

That's hilarious, oversight of the century Get to it then, I wanna see some benches

Oh, 1.7v is a bit xtreme, 1.5 should suffice. I haven't used more than 1.45v on my board yet.

Working on 1143MHz now I don't think my CPU will be handling 1200+ stable. Kinda impressed with 1143 tbh out of a cheapy E4400, I've heard many stories of E4400s crapping out with memory much beyond 900MHz. I think the CPU gods blessed me when buying this E4400.

Just been sprinkling some ket magical pixie dust on an old BIOS rev for the P5Q Pro that doesnt have that weird FSB enhancement option, and low and behold, it seems I can now do 1200MHz+ stable! Can't post any screenshots right now as I'm letting that system run OCCT v2a, over 20mins in stable so far. At least part of the key for 1200+ has been to set trfc to 42 and a performance level of 8. Will post screens when OCCT is finished.

[CryptiK]

Nice one! I haven't seen that FSB Enhancement option before, seems like all it enhances is user frustration Awaiting screens

[WaterFlex]

Hmmm guys. I have problems with passing Win Memtest again. Again 3-4 errors after 100% coverage.
It seems, Asus MIIF is a bad mobo, it can`t keep 1200mhz stable.

Yo i just got my geil sticks on Biostar I45, and they're unable to do stock speeds at 2.4vdimm and 1.5vnb. I'm hoping this is a BIOS support issue, as i've heard this board has some RAM support holes. Anyway you could sprinkle some of that magic pixie dust on the 710 BIOS from this board? it's really starting to limit my qx

It would be nice to know if you can pass Win Memtest.

What vdimm and vNB are you using when it gives you errors?

[WaterFlex]

Bump up the VDIMM.
