OCZ 3700 Eb @ DDR 620 /320 Mhz

yeah 4x does weird stuff ,

**Geforce4ti4200** · 05-18-2004, 08:04 PM

"EDIT: wasn't a high VDimm killing the HT of the A64 ? (and so the cpu)"

yes and I can not afford to kill cpus. my friend eshbash killed his at 3.3v after a couple months. how high does that ocz pc3700 do at 3-2-2-6 at 2.9v? ras-cas delay MUST be at a 2 or I dont even want this ram, ill just go pc4000 and push her to 300+ fsb at 2.9v
as for 400fsb, if this is even possible, I will run 400x4=1.6GHz and have the fastest a64 around

Well as true to life or buggy as it is.....numbers are numbers.....and I'm still aloud to drool.

Really crazy... i thought that HTT cant overclock much, but now

. OK going to buy OCZ and good MoBo

Heh, that's exactly the kind of feeling I get everytime I read a thread on these forums.....and it's gonna do me in sooner or later.

Not that that's a bad thing or anything.

No, you'd have the slowest A64 around.

**Geforce4ti4200** · 05-18-2004, 11:27 PM

but 400fsb? how is it even possible to get 400fsb with 1:1 ram or is it a bug like someone said? anyway how does this ram do at 2.9v

It's a bug. The ram would be running 320Mhz (still amazing). But yea any multi with .5 or 4 give bogus results in 1:1

@ -realEvolution- : are the RAM at 320MHz stable ?

and how high was the voltage ? 3,5V ?

**-realEvolution-** · 05-19-2004, 02:05 AM

302 MHZ and 3,5 V was the memory prime stable

**eva2000** · 05-19-2004, 02:25 AM

very nice indeed.. just be careful the vdimm doesn't kill your A64 cpu!

**Violineb** · 05-19-2004, 05:13 AM

Sorry to ask foolish questions but what mobo is everyone using for these outrageous FSB/HT speeds?
The Aopen AK89 Max? I'm seriously going to be upgrading my system after selling everything I own, I just need to know what's the best CPU/mobo combo for these speeds. Aopen AK89 Max with a 3400+ mobile DTR? Or should I wait for 939? I have no idea what the difference is though. I've been out of this for a while :p

k thanks

**-realEvolution-** · 05-19-2004, 05:35 AM

waiting for 939, i used on 754 always the Shuttle AN 50r

Anandtech just came out with its review of 3700EB. Link

**ryanpgroovy** · 05-19-2004, 11:22 AM

New reviews are always good

Hi there.

Thanks for the link Sierra. =)

**Shade00** · 05-19-2004, 01:12 PM

Uh oh, the secret's out. I recently came to the conclusion that they used Micron chips after a tested an older Buffalo stick with Micron... it ran up to 220/2.5-2-2-6/2.8v.

**ryanpgroovy** · 05-19-2004, 01:16 PM

thats not really the secret

The secret is the spd + the good chips

**STEvil** · 05-19-2004, 09:31 PM

What build process do the micron chips use, Shade00?

**Geforce4ti4200** · 05-19-2004, 10:47 PM

just read the chart, thats good ram but it runs ras-cas delay of 3 which takes a big performance hit compared to cas-cas of 2 anyway. also its $500+ for 2x512mb sticks, I can get better performance with pc4200 for less by running like 300fsb. youd need 270fsb at ras-cas of 3 to match 300fsb with ras-cas of 4! If thats not true, prove it to me then. eshbash has proved that you need 30fsb to make up for one higher latency in timings. 2----->3 costs 30fsb 300fsb with pc4200 is probably as good as 240fsb with bh5. 5:4 of 300fsb is 240 too.

You may have not read the review thoroughly, or maybe you haven't been following this RAM...but it will run 3-2-2-6 at high speeds with less volts than Winbond memory.

And how many times do we have to go over the fact that 240 2-2-2-5 is faster than 300 3-4-4-8?

**Rancidelephant** · 05-19-2004, 11:43 PM

37 i believe is the magic number here

anyway Big Daddy Gee its the two numbers in the middle that make the difference, try it yourself.

Run Super Pi @ cas 2 then @ cas 3 .... report back the changes.

**STEvil** · 05-19-2004, 11:45 PM

I thought he caught on a couple weeks back, but it seems he forgot or something :/

**Crankster** · 05-20-2004, 02:28 AM

Clarification, i was under the impression that voltage fluctuations where the factor destroying A64s, not high Vdimm. Anyone?

Or he never caught on
