right method to burn in TCCD ram

[zt_lee]

I just got 2x512corsair xms rev 1.4 tccd ram, but i cant boot into windows with 2.8vdimm 2-2-2-5 fsb 200 1:1 divider so i got few question here:
1. does that mean i need to burn it?
2. if it does, what speed and vdimm should i use?
3. Use what selection of memtest?
4.roughly how long need to be burnt in?
5.Dont tccd can do 2225 timing with ddr400 ?

thks

Burn in is only for UTT/BH5 memory I guess... just for the high voltage loving memories.

[Napoleonic]

maybe the mem aren't comapatible with your motherboard? 2.8volt is not necessary for TCCD in 200MHz clock

[arctic-k20]

the majority of tccd can do 2-2-2-5 @ ddr 400 but there are some out there that when combined with certain boards will not do 2-2-2-5 @ any speed....

most of the newer tccd can hit very high speedson 2.6~2.7v so 2.8 for stock is a bit much

I thought burning in was only for UTT, BH-5 chips?

[nordik]

Try out 2.7 or 2.6v to boot. 2.8 seems to high

I dont see why it wouldnt work for TCCD. its built essentially the same in concept. The results will probably vary from what BH-5 and such does tho.

I think when using TCCD for the first time burn in is required, for the user though! I've spent 4-5 hours yesterday and today, just trying to get used to these modules and the settings they like. Yesterday I couldnt get anything above 270, now ive had 2 hours of prime at 290....could be the sticks burning in though i guess.....The idea that they may improve with time is a nice one to keep the optimism going with though definatly, as I sure would like to see 300 stable.

Edit: zt_lee,
Drop the voltage to 2.7V for a started, and try some of the outlined lists of settings in the TCCD & DFI threads. Use memtest test 5 for quick stablity tests, but dont take 10 runs of test 5 as windows stable.

Are you sure you didn't tweak your ram between your 270 and 290 runs The404? because gaining 20mhz on a theoretical tccd "burn in" seems odd to say the least

[Theo404]

Oh yeah, of course I played with settings, but no more than I did the day before. I wasnt trying to suggest I gained 20mhz purley from burn in, only that it might of been a helping factor.

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

hey theo404, i have the ocz platinum rev.2 memory aswell and i cant get past 270fsb same as urs but i dont know how to tweak the ram, can you tell me how you were able to achieve 290fsb and if you dont mind, can u pm me ur msn addy so you can help me out over msn. thanks

[Theo404]

Well I'm not sure if I can, as your using a gigabyte motherboard and not the DFI, i'm not sure if its not just the motherboard holding you back. Firstly experiment with voltage, 2.7 seemed the best for me, as 2.8 caused extra instability, but 2.9 alowed my most stable settings to get me to 290. As I said I'm not sure of the avaliable settings on the gigabyte motherboard, but you can use A64 Tweaker, and set it to enforce settings at startup.



You'l need this:
A64 Tweaker 0.6b

I'm sorry but I dont use msn. But feel free to PM me.

I got my ram on monday(OCZ PC3200 Plat Rev2), and havent had a chance to do much tweaking, and its still on air, so not SuperPi Stable at 300x9 but I ran a Sandra and an everest
I got 8k on sandra one run, but wanted to have an everest bench too
2.88 volts seems to be the sweet spot on this ram, able to do about 15 passes of test 5 at DDR620 before heat kicks in and starts giving me errors

[zt_lee]

ok.. seems like i got to test it myself cos there is no conclusion whether i have to burn in or not.

by the way , u guys all using amd64 plattform? i am using p4 2.4c with ai 7. So possible to do ddr 600 with intel plattform?

roger that , dude

Nope

1. More Specs please (voltages of other stuff, etc)

1a. Have you been working this through memtest first?

2. Set mem timinings to auto and see what it 'thinks' it wants.
3. Even for Intel you should be able to get to 200 / 2-2-2 I would think.
4. Start searching here for intel/tccd to find some examples of timings.

Report back on progress of course

[varzmaster]

Corsair 3200C2(PT) v1.4 are BH-5 UTTs... NOT TCCDs.

[zt_lee]

Nope

so intel able to do ddr 600 as well??

1.) it is corsair ddr400 3-3-3-8 by default, current doing fsb 285mhz at 2.8vdimm stable with prime95 and memtest

2.)burn in for few hour, now able to achive 2225 timing

3.)yup, but not sure stable cos only few hour burn in

4.)roger that

now still priming with 285fsb with 2.8vdimm

Corsair 3200C2(PT) v1.4 are BH-5 UTTs... NOT TCCDs.

nope, i am sure it is not utt, cos i able to benchmark sisoftsandra ddr600 with 2.8vdimm only, definitely wasnt utt so i am sure it is tccd (80%sure) or other hynix ram(10% sure )

[babyelf]

c2v1.4 are UTT m8

http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/sh...&highlight=UTT

but it depends on batch number as well

[[XC] moddolicous]

TCCD is pretty much known for running high fsb's @ 2-3-3-6 or something like that timings

[varzmaster]

Are you sure they're v1.4 and not v4.1. IIRC v1.x are all Winbond ICs. And v4.x are all Samsung ICs.

[Theo404]

No their not, TCCD is pretty pathetic at tight timmings, 2.5-3-3-8 or 2.5-4-3-8 is where they shine. And NO UTT will do 285 at 2.8V regardless of timmings.

of cos iam sure it is rev1.4, but got to double check it as lazy to open the casing and remove the ram . will take some photo

totally agree here, as i own utt as well, highest can do is 260mhz with 2225 timing with 3.36vdim

[varzmaster]

I took the heatspreaders of my v1.4, v1.5 and v1.7 and they're all rebranded Winbond BH-x UTTs (says Corsair on the ICs... but they've got the two classic Winbond dimples on them and respond pretty good to any voltage above 2.8V). Of course... it depends on the lot#... but as I've said before... all v1.x are Winbonds.
