First test Cellshock 1000 on P5W64-WS PRO !!!

[camouflage]

O.K. - here are first results. All done with BIOS 0209 and 2.4 Vdimm (Vmem):

C4:



C3:



As You can see the RAM on this board is limited by the 975 chipset and/or BIOS. Will try 0215 BIOS next days......

Hard to find stability - can only be fixed by a better BIOS released by ASUS (maybe 0215?) or we have to wait for RD600 and buy again a DFI board..

When trying lots of settings I can feel the RAM can do a lot more.

Finally one question, where is the point in searching for the highest mem frequency?

Remember this pic C4 with mem at 542 MHz:



And now watch this C4 at low 434 MHz:



Almost the same SP1M result - same CPU speed. So why all the work?

[Ibinco]

Very Very nice stuff. Good to hear these PC6400 sticks work well on this board Now ive got to seel my GEIL, which for some reason wont boot up @ 4-4-4-12 1:1 past 350FSB.

[Bluebeard]

1:1 no divider - faster in your case...

if u want to play with dividers and RAM MHz you´ll need some more MHz than "only" 1084...

[Ibinco]

@ Alonso was that remark for me.. care to articulate?

Here is another, 3-4-4-12 with 2.35 volts and read delay 5:



Nice bandwith at 400 MHz !!!

[Bluebeard]

sry - was for camouflage... he was asking about performance in SuperPi in 434 (1:1) and 542 (4:5)

[camouflage]

Update, SP32M 3-4-3-9 at only 2.3 volts - read delay 5 :



I smell some more C3 potencial in these sticks..........

[Ibinco]

Shiz wanted to order but now it seems the whole of XS bought all stock
Humzzzz...i hate waiting, Alonso do you where they sell these in The Netherlands?

You can buy here - shipment to whole Europe and RAM in stock (Sept/28) !!!

Any 32m possible?

Hm, take a closer look at post #7..............

[elmor]

Memory doesn't matter as much in 1M or 2M as in 16M or 32M because of the large L2-cache on Conroe, and that's the reason you only see slight improvement with all that memoryspeed. Try running a comparison on 32M or maybe some 3d (3dm01 loves the memoryspeed)

Thanks - I see. Will try the 0215 BIOS tonite. On this board/chipset I can get better results and more stability when running 1:1 with tighter timings.

Finally the RAM & CPU is better than chipset and/or BIOS, so my hopes are high on RD600..........

[camouflage]

Lowered the Vdimm down to 2.25, timings now 3-4-3-4, read delay 5 and voila, 32M below 14min at only 3.6GHz :




Still 0209 BIOS.

[erwinz]

nice rams sir..

[elpistono]

great

[camouflage]

Just flashed 0215 BIOS but bandwith and 32M was a bit lower in my tests.

Will flash back to 0209 later and make some furter tests for compario. Maybe 0209 BIOS is better.

BTW - 0215 enables installation of MARVEL RAID for those who need.

UPDATE:

BIOS 0209 is faster for me, here we have DDR2-840 C3 and read delay still 5 with 2.4 volts:



For further tests C3 I have to volt-mod the board to get higher Vdimm.

Will give this simple pencil mod here a try:

Vdimm mod worked - now I can play with up to 2.85 volts......

More to come here soon.........................

Wow very good pair of ram you got there , but your 32m seems to me a bit low, I have the exact same time with "only" 3.7ghz on the CPU and 4-4-3-8 on SuperT cl4 /too bad Intel 975XBX have only 2.2v without mod / And my e6600 is trothling with box cooler and in second part of the test it is slowing by a margin./

[camouflage]

To stop boring You all I skipped some Mhz and now we have here DDR2-900 C3 with 2.58 Vdimm and read delay still at 5. The Vdimm was measured by a multimeter:



Remember this is RAM out of the box and on an unmodded board except of the Vdimm pencil mod.

I'm not sure how much voltage this RAM can bare but hipro did some tests at crazy 3.4 Vdimm so I think I'll go up to my max. of 2.85.

If I should need more I have to pencil again...........

Oh, and I almost forgot - now with 4:5 divider. Unfortunately I only can use multi 9 ( known problem with the changable multi in BIOS but non-working in Windows) cause my CPU maxes out at 9 x 445.

sorry offtopic but do you have to write that text with huge font size

sorry offtopic but do you have to write that text with huge font size

Sorry to stretch Your nerve - will use smaller size in future.........

Now it's time to tighten the timings (thanks to hipro !!!):



This is done with only 2.33 Vdimm so everybody can do even without Vdimm mod..........

[camouflage]

And this is my membership in the "11+ GB bandwidth club" ......:



Done with 2.66 Vdimm - can't try for more cause my CPU is maxed out on water at 4GHz...........

This RAM is unbelievable hungry to get squezzed...........
