If I´m not misstaken, radaja have a hose from his AC to the front of his case, therefore the low temp.

Isn´t that right radaja

i think so
i didnt bother with a hose i stuk the a/c straight to case

[radaja]

yes,the temp of the air coming from the dryer vent is 6c-8c
here are some pics

[zsamz_]

radaja be carefull not to get any of the condensing water from hose on the board

[Leeghoofd]

That's nuts :p but so clever , even think with the normal heatsink you can do sub 25's then

[radaja]

thanks.and about condensation i have lined the inside of the
vent at the end with where the attachment is with cloth
protector.because the aluminum vent is about 6 feet long
and condensation does build up on the length of it,but so far
i havent had any moisture at the end though,the computer is
about 2 ft above the floor and i think the condensation cant
seem to make it up that two feet.been using this cooling for
about 8 months now and so far so good(except for noise levels
w/AC and the 4000+ rpm fan always going)

well i got a set of patriot 2000 and man i cant get the damn things to 2k or even close
anyone has a 4 gig set runnin 2k on this board?

hey radaja! i couldnt sleep so i decided to break 13k
i was runnin prime @ 600fsb
way too easy to hit 600 in this board

[Leeghoofd]

Zsams I'm stuck at 1960ish ram speed with the OCZ Blades, I needed already to tweak the NB Gtl and Ref volt big time to get there... due to time constraints I have to settle with that. I ordered some Micron GTR's 1Gb 2000mhz stick will report back ifI have those, till now 4gb 2000mhz is a no go with 1T and tight subtimings.

[Ghostleader]

@zsamz

Nice 13k , any possiblity to run a 32m with that setup?

Do you now what kind of IC those Patriots have?


I give up to get my 2x2 Transcend stable @ 1800, I get P95 blend (4x850mb) stable but with the same setup I can´t get passed 500% with HCI Memtest (4x850mb), if I bring down Twister from strong to light and some DRAM skew I come close to 700% but that´s it.

With LinX I only pass one, error in the second one and I also get some random BSOD just idle at desktop.

So that was my adventure with those Transcend.

nice!!,im going to try some OCing this weekend
not sure how it will go with this kit of ram though?
also i need to get used to the whole new divider
and performance level settings on this board

these settings helped me alot was only way i could clock ram 1960 stable
but anything over 37.5 was no good
NB DDRVref :37.5
DDR3 channel A Vref : 37.5
DDR3 channel B Vref : 37.7
it was weird i couldnt get her stable @ cas9
this set liked cas 8
13k wasnt too stable
but this was i only ran prime 5 min

[WhiteFireDragon]

i feeling the numbers are a little low for the clocks i have. is this about right, or is it just me?

[Leeghoofd]

Looks low mate, but sometimes a different version of Everest is nite and day difference. I prefer to test with Pi 32 to see how efficient my bandwith is

[WhiteFireDragon]

tried another everest version, numbers are even lower. just for confirmation, i can run the 1.65v ddr3 intended for x58 platform on this x48 platform at 1.8v right? i know the board handles it fine, but memory specs only states 1.65v as highest. the older memory version is actually 1.8v, so i think these sticks i'm using are just undervolted for x58 usage right?

[Leeghoofd]

Nope the sticks are calculated for 1.65 daily voltage , so beter stick to that.. no matter what platform you run them on.

any news
did you use NB DDRVref : DDR3 channel A Vref : DDR3 channel B Vref : to get to 1960mhz
i needed 37.5 on each but not fully stable must be the 2x2 sets
my crucial pc3-12000 kit sukin bad anythin over 1.9 makin in verry unstable did the people at crucial use other than micron chips on some sets?


ghostleader: i got no idea what ics i have i have a feelin the 2k sets are microns they scale and can run tighter with more juice
when i get another restlless night and stick the a/c in my case i'll run a 32

[Leeghoofd]

I'm getting very close now to 2000mhz (test 7 passes more than 5 runs, just test 5 still spews errors) , but I lended out the REX for some PI runs on an E8600 435 batch cpu. I hope to have it back within 2 weeks. I'm using very negative values for the NB, Rams were around +12.5-25 ref volts

Lee, i guess you're on 1:2 - RE maybe running too tight between 490-498fsb... on 266 and 333 straps, Read and vNB are the ~ same @ 490fsb (490 boot) as 500fsb (500 boot), with the same clocktwister and tRD.
so between 490-498 min vNB is higher than @ 500. min vDIMM may also be higher.

booting @ 500, 2x2 Blades ok for Spi/Hpi @ 1000mhz.. skew / vREF / NBGTL all Auto. vNB scales fairly evenly with Read up to ~12.8-13K on 1:2 and 5:8.

the result booting @ 500fsb is not much better than 475fsb for Read, but it's the same with 2x1GB D9GTR, which needs higher vNB than 2x2 elpida for same clocktwister + tRD, 450-500fsb/1:2.

500 (x9) / 1:2 / 7-7-6-20 tRFC 60 (vNB for 2x2 elpida)

333 strap / clocktwister moderate / tRD7 = 12K read 43.5ns = 1.49V or less vNB

333 strap / clocktwister Strong / tRD7 = 12.4k read 41.5ns = ~ 1.59V vNB

333 strap / CT Strong / tRD7 + CHA 1+2 = 12.5k read 39.5ns = 1.59V vNB (HyperPi)

266 strap / clocktwister Strong / tRD6 = 12.8K read 39.5ns = 1.69V vNB (SuperPi, Hpi not tested)

[Leeghoofd]

333 strap doesn't work at all on my board, also I cannot push more than light on the Blades with my current setup at 266 strap. I'm limiting NB voltage at max 1.61 (tried up to 1.7, didn't help much on my board) and I'm messing a lot with the gtl and ref values... like said before Test 7 is rockstable, just test 5 of memtest spews still some 100 errors per test , was over 3000 before :p

Running clocktwister strong isn't even an option, it just doesn't post not even with strap 400... maybe I need to reflash that bios to a previous one ( had to use the latest for the pentium E6300 to be properly recognised)

Once get the board back I will test some more.

The CSX 1GB 2000mhz C8 dimms are on the way....Micron GTR...

[radaja]

which kit should i get?and does anyone know if these kits work on the REX?
teams

diablo's
http://www.tankguys.com/memory/ddr3-...b-2000mhz.html

[Leeghoofd]

I got the latter Radaja, 100% pure D9 micron GTR, should be very good on the REX...

[radaja]

thanks for the reply.ill get the diablo's

thanks for the reply.ill get the diablo's

whatever you get just remember not to buy team ram
rma is tough
there are much cheaper choices with d9gtr
i just wished they updated ddr3 ramlist

OCZ3P18002GK comes to 23can$ or 16us$ after rebate i just wish i knew what chips they got
i found Mushkin XP PC3-14400 confimed d9gtr for 70$
whats better choice lol
radaja you can get them directly from mushkin for 66$ use Mushkin coupon code: xtremesystems.com
i woulda ordered from mushkin but ups or fedex shippin to canada has a 55$ customs fee and i dont have half a day to lose to clear customs myself

thanks for the info zsamz

paulxmn nice OC.i cant wait for my ram
