Xtreme makes OCZ's front page

[Liquid3D]

Right FX51 was based from Server technology wasn't it? The whole point of an on-board MCH is to minimize latency by eliminating the NB/MCH isn't it? This is why Reg ECC memory is needed?

[QuadDamage]

yep agreed Jason. Bank Interleave is pretty important if you ask me.
and i think OPP's Corsair RE at 251fsb matches OCZ at 261fsb in sandra or something close to that.

LMFAO ok some facts

AMD IS ALL ABOUT LOW LATENCY and still being very fsb bandwith dependant away from LDT pushing 3d app's faster it is still like on an nf2 mobo.. and ask any 2x512meg nf2 user to show ya 2-2-2-11 at over 240mhz dc fsb 1:1 Ill be waiting here for a few weeks while ya fish one up.

OCZ =2x256 =512megs
mushkin/corsair 2x512 =1024megs

ocz no bank interleaving I find this on the nf3 to be maybe as important as cas 2.5 from cas 2 in some tests

Its on one board and Asus have no boards availabe to ship to test.OCZ have NOT had the board but will have soon.

Please make sure you know all the facts before you spout off.

Also remember the guys that run 260+ at 2-2-2-5 are using extreme voltage to do so..the average joe does not...we need to cater for both markets....not just the hardcore folks...

[Tony]

And a final word on BH5...its going to disapear for good VERY soon....weeks not months.I have a nice stash here ready for ebay when it does....LOL

[st0nedpenguin]

Am I reading this right?

The disabling of Bank Interleaving with the OCZ LE only occurs on the SK8V?

yeah stocking up on some BH-5 of any kind right now too hehe

[typer77]

heheh.. I already have a good stack of bh-5... got 7 sticks of SanMax; 2 sticks of Adata and 2 sticks of Corsair xms3500

hehhehe...

i don't know what you call xtreme but Mr.Icee needed 3.84V to achieve his results posted at your site. That voltage took out his chip btw

I asked Randi for an unbuffered bench, I think the strain of the bench took out the memory control side of the cpu...

I have a feeling OPP has modules with an old spd, we have been reviewing spd's trying to find an optimal one but its hard to test what works etc when you don't have a board to test it on...we have been shipping to a reviewer who has been testing for us.

Hopefully next week all this will be resolved with the board arriving.

Also guys, if you want to know something, ie what IC's, when released, where to buy, etc etc..please just ask me.I see lots of posts that get me wondering just where you get the info from as 90% is off target.I will do my best to answer all questions, but do remember some answers may come under NDA, but I WILL do my best.

Ask in the OCZ forum as both myself and Ryan do drop in there.

I want to emphasize that my testing was done under my own conditions controlled by myself at the test bench. Under NO circumstances are OCZ nor Tony or Ryan responsible for the premature death of my A64 CPU. I know the risks involved as witnessed by my boxfull of CPU's dating back to my 1st 1.3GHZ AXIA Thunderbird.

Tony's request for a final unbuffered bandwidth result came after many hours of pounding with ultra-high memory voltage. I knew the end could come at any time. I was lucky success lasted as long as it did. My first 2 CAAMC's did not even get to the benching stage.

I'll also state for the record that I had attempted to add a little more juice to the table for more 1:1 Mhz. The VR I currently am using is a 50K unit that is losing it's precision from lots of use previously. Like on my initial KR7A-Raids years ago...I believe I spiked the memory controller because of an inaccurate adjustment. No more no less. I was attempting to add more juice because it had locked up during the previous unbuffered Sandra attempt. It shut down during the adjustment and failed to boot thereafter.

After unplugging the mem mod, then trying the CPU in the KV8-Max3 with no boot success...and my debug card halting on memory detection, I assessed the situation as another failed memory controller.

Now there's a man with integrity!

I had a similiar experience, although not nearly as traumatic, but because of my pushing a previously owned 50k pot, I overvolted my Corsair PRO4000, during my review of it. I thought it was too good to be true that I'd got it to run at 280FSB 1:1, when 265FSB was about the highest stable it would do. And the bandwidth at 280FSB was so terribly low (5700MB/s) I should have known I was frying it. Now the memory won't run stable above it's default speed, (250FSB) and even then it won't run stable all the time. boohoo

Send me some of your burnt CPU's and we'll start a key-chain business you can have 60% of the income...

I pulled off a 310x14 @ 1:1 SPD on the PC4200 (non EL) screen shot. I booted into windows at that speed. AGP was 72Mhz and the XT failed to recognize and booted into windows VGA mode above 304FSB w/72Mhz AGP

I will fire up in a bit to upload it.

[Liquid3D]

Nice, really nice. And they say ES don't overclock well. What voltage did you use to get the OCZ to that speed? I have some Premier 4200 here that does 285FSB 1:1 at 2.85VDIMM, how does it react to voltage above this?

I found booting at 300fsb and using setfsb to set pci clock to 35 helps a lot as you push over 300.

only problem is sandra doesn't want to recognise the new fsb

You have to disable HT for it to work......

Could this be the solution to my problem when OC'ing above 302 FSB? the symptoms is a blue screen with "paged memory" error. I think the memory can make it using 3:2 at that FSB, but I have tried everything else.

[STEvil]

Macci - A pair of 25k pots in series might do better

Have you tried clockgen? also it could be your memory not likeing the high fsb......

[typer77]

Yup I used clock gen, set pci to 36/72. but I get a blue screen "page fault errors) when I go above 302FSB or so. I ahve tried different memory sticks / different CPU.. same problem...

I guess I will try disabling HT and see what happens...

All of a sudden my "dual channel" part of my FX/NF3 is shot. I can run one stick fine over 220, but now in dual I can't even run at even underclocking with any combination of different ram tested. Do you think something went wrong with the MB or the FX-51's mem controller since single ch still works right?

I spoke with an engineer at AMD who told me that normally if any part of the memory controller goes bad, the whole cpu will be effected so it would be unlikely that single ch. would still work perfectly. So I am hoping it is the MB even though I have tried both sets of dual ch. slots.

Congrats man very imprensive

but would I like to know which your punctuation in the sandra, using the maximum that you got 3dmark stable?

help me

tkz bad boy

[Gogeta]

Congrats guys, really making OCZ dimms look good for 865/875 systems....
Makes me want to do a total revamp of my system.

[Slay3r]

Nice one
