    Arrow Mushkin PC3500 Black LV2 @ 237 with 3.15V.Need tips for improvement + Low benches?

    Ok after finishing my VDimm mod on my P4C800 E tonight i tried setting the VDimm on my board...took big steps as i saw no improvement in the first turns of my 50K resistor and ended up getting 3.34V with 2.65 selected in the bios :p...

    Anyways back to 3.15V now with 2.85V selected in the bios and the ram seems to love high volts .

    Did the mod using an SMD Grabber...

    Back on topic now.

    From my previous thread my sticks seemed to perform a bit badly...i got prime errors running @ stock speeds.
    Memtest just freezes after a few tests
    by testing both sticks in dual channel mode or even each stick...

    well pushing 3.15V through my ram and having altered some settings by following a post made by Mickey Mouse (thanx mate) with some settings in the bios :
    Set Spread Spectrum to Disabled.

    Performance Acceleration Mode set to Auto, rather than Enabled

    In USB Configuration, set Legacy USB Support to Disabled.

    I lowered my timings to 2 2 2 5 and the ram was able to boot windows up to 239fsb
    @240fsb the pc rebooted itself.
    @239fsb i was able to bench with sandra and then the pc froze...

    Now @ 237fsb i am thinking of burning in the ram a bit...

    i havent tested the ram yet whether its prime stable or not.

    is that kind of low for 3.15V out of my ram?should i push some more voltage through my sticks?wanna keep it safe though for 24/7 since i got a few assignmets for my Masters Degree to start...

    The benches with sandra max 3 seem a little low i think...what do you guys think?

    Sandra bench of 5319 @ 237fsb 2 2 2 5 1T @ 3.15V
    5339

    Are these benches a bit low?Any settings i need to change in my bios?

    How can i get my sticks to clock higher than that?I just got them today.Do i need to do some burning in and how should i burn them?

    I know its too many questions guys but i need to settle on some proper ram after trying xms 3500, twinmos ch 5 3200, xms 3200 ll, ocz gold el 3700, geil pc 4200 etc...

    thanx in advance
