OCZ VX, Best Memory made since BH5!!

[RocKer]

Vcore is 1.550/104% so something like +-1.62v.

And what woot be the best setting to burn'in the mem,becaus 10x224 isnt that great hè.

When it just got them the hit 10x250 at 3.40vdimm and 265 at 3.50vdimm,what is the matter with this mem .

[Rabbi_NZ]

Should be enough....
Could you list:
*ALL your memory timings
*ALL voltage settings
*ALL multis & dividers
*Is you CPU a CO or CG stepping
*What slot is RAM in

[RocKer]

The a64 rig is not connected to inet,but i will make sreenshot of a64Tweaker and post it here.

a64 3200+ Newcastle
ADA 3200 AEP4AX
CBAEC 0430 RPMW

1 stick 512mb VX

its running at 1T 10x224 at 2-2-2-10-15-16,mem is in slot 2 at the moment,before it was in slot 1 also in slot 3 and i had the same results.

vcore 1.550v 104%
vdimm 3.40v
chipset 1.6v

No AGP becaus a use a pci TNT2 32mb.

Multies or dividers:its running 1/1 that is the only one am intrested in.

But i am gone try my bh5 to see if the can hit higher,and to see if the board is still ok or not i hit 9x275 with my corsairs on the dfi.

[Rabbi_NZ]

RocKer,
I just remembered!
wait for Conrad to come back online... from his testing he found his NC would not run in SC with VX, but in DC it would run fine.
My CH was fine with either configuration...

[RocKer]

OK

But what i dont understand is that this VX stick did run at 9x265 3.5vdimm the first week i got it in the house,and now i can only hit 9x230 at 3.6vdimm,i dont understand it anymore.

I can only do SC Rabbi_NZ .

[Zeus]

How's your PSU?
Maybe your voltages go down too much?

Yo RocKer. Check this out. What motherboard are you using? If you're using an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, see what happens if you run dual channel.

EDIT:
I just noticed your sig states that you're on the DFI 754 board. I'm not sure why you can't get up to 265MHz anymore. When you were at 265MHz, how many loops of Memtest Test #5 did you run? 10 loops usually isn't enough. I run 20 to 30 just to get an idea of what direction I'm heading. When I hit a wall, I'll loop Memtest overnight at my last error-free frequency.

[Bluebeard]

well - this letter is more then funny...

M.tec is TwinMOS low-cost brand - there could be every IC underneath... but of course cheepest IC out there (which atm is also Winbond UTT) used and as you can see it can perform as good as the VX

Winbond is not dead... they have a deal with Infineon to use Infineons Technology for the new production - on the other side with this agreement they are not allowed to put Winbond Label on the ICs - afaik...

[Sgt_Strider]

I'm curious here, is it the reason why these RAM are so good is because you can pump some serious voltages into them? How does it overclock if you use <3.0 v? Like maybe 2.8v?

bump, can someone answer my question in bold?

[cuddles]

Sucks at 2.8v. It's made for 3.2+, it's rated for 2-3-3 @ 2.8v. It's called Voltage Xtreme dude, 2.8v isn't eXtreme

When it was at 9x265 3.5vdimm it run test5 for +- 2hours with 0 errors,then it folded D2OL for 3day's and 2 nights 24/7,thats 100% cpu-load,if thats not stressed enough i dont know what will,and to be sure i run +- 2 hours prime ontop of D2OL and that was also rock solid stable.

Then afther those 3days i reboot to go up with htt and it crasht,i try'd everything i know but it did'nt help,then i reinstalled XP(i thought maybe that help)but it did'nt,i thought maybe its the bios(J&J 4.0v bios)i reflasht the bios with the one with that memtest inside in hope that woot help,but again it was a nono,i had allsorts off troubel with volts on vdimm, then i reflasht it again to the J&J bios and the lines where back ok(checkt with multiemeter),but i was not abel to go up with HTT on whatever vdimm,so now i am running at 10x224 at 3.40vdimm,memtest 0 errors and prime stable in XP.

O yes the test where run all at 2-2-2-10 or 2-2-2-5.

My 520w OCZPowerstream works ok.

I still have to try my 2x256mb bh5 to see if the can run as before(the did 9x275 error free )did'nt have the time to do it yet,but if i find time today i will try them.

Can you give some info on what to do to burn'in the mem and easy go up with htt,or something becaus i dont know what to do anymore ,it was looking so good the first week but sadly it did'nt last.

So now am wondering if the dfi(again) is to blaam or cpu or the memory,i can't try it on an other board becaus i dont have an other s754 board.

I'am now serious begin to consider to quit s754(sell it or make it a D2OL rig) and go over to s939 in DC.

I have got no luck yet with a64 on s754,it was my first one,it was allways something that whent wrong,almost everything is gone in rma,first it was the DFI then cpu then the OCZ 520w,and what is it now ppffff.

@ ryan

so can you say that u use new winbond (of course selected) IC for the VX?

u r absolutely right M.tec can be everything - Winbond, PSC, ...

but new (not the ones out on market atm which are selected PSC) TwinMOS Speed Premium which will be out soon will all come with these new Winbond IC.

Have u done any testing on those? What can we expect?

[xgman]

Alonso ,

As far as I can tell MTEC is normaly PCS die , so if people want to take there chances buying mtec , we really are not bothered.


The funny thing is early today we got a blackmail letter , saying the same thing your posting , that we have found some majic new winbond chips.

The one comment I have is even if people figure out whos making these chips , there still not going to be speed screened , and only 20-30% of the current raw parts pass our internal test spec. If you really want to take your chances on something I can get the raw un- binned parts made into a special part number , which you can then order at a much lower cost ... no guarantees it will do as well as vx in every case though


Let me know :-)


Oh , here is the funny blackmail letter

" Hello,

i know what the chips are on your VX ram. They are Winbond UTT blank chips :> Very cheap chips.

And also know that you, ocz, don’t want that this is going to be puplic, cauz more than 100% win on one 512mb DDR-Ram is very much

I’ve got 50 Mtecs with Winbond UTT…

So I think you’re pleased that I keep my Mouth shut … cauz u would like to make much money as possible, that’s normal I know.…

(mtec oem about 39Eur/512mb)

I think there could maybe a deal… for keeping my mouth closed or do you want that everybody know that this ram have one of the cheapest chips on the market…



Hope for a fast reply.

In Rar archive some screens of my Winbond UTT…


Grats Martin"

That is the silliest thing I have heard in a long time. You should arrange to meet him to drop off the loot and we will all jump him and take his clothes. :grr:

[Bluebeard]

Speed Premium with WB to come out soon (the ones already out are PSC) - should perform well if the chips are the same as on the M.tec modules we tested and talking about.

[Zebo]

micron g? I've heard ballistix close to this... maybe OCZ just selects them better than crucial?

[perkam]

Off topic...

and we will all jump him and take his clothes.

VERY OFFTOPIC !!!

Seriusly though, crucial just selects them better for the reviews not the consumers

[DoGMaN]

Funny, I have some SuperTalent memory that acts a lot like VX. Hrmmmz I wonder what is under the spreaders.

Couple things I'd like to note though for all you looking for a cheap way to get the same ICs as VX. First as we have seen from the countless TCCD reviews the OCZ/PDP/PQI modules always seem to work better because of the better PCB design. Much the same will come from buying cheap modules with the same ICs. The OCZ VX will just work better due to the better PCB design.

[hollywood]

Thank you Conrad. We don't have Fry's on the East Coast and thats the only place I saw people talking about.

oop's hit edit..my bad ment to quote.

hey...whats going on here?!?!? I NEVER wrote the part in bold...Why is someone changing my posts???

[Shroomalistic]

heres pc ice's vx running on my dfi at 3.6volts

[Playful_Buffalo]

Stable?

[Shroomalistic]

not yet, still playing around. I was able to get it to 280 2,2,2,5 but frozen on screen shot

[Dumo]

is it possible that vx is tccd 437(week 37 and up)?

[Playful_Buffalo]

^sometimes the week 37+ TCCD's didnt like voltage


in was inconsistent

[MarilynMX]

I have a question. Should I run memtest86 with default #7 test? or I need to run #5 only since lota ppl preferring it?
Thanks in advance
