Mission impossible : 290 1:1 2x512MB Hynix –D5 CMD 1T @ DFI

[Dagalidis]

When received my new Board (DFI LanParty UT NF3 250GB) and install it I was very impressed with the overall overclocking potential….
Was possible to run my ADATA VITESTA DDR500 with Hynix –D5 chips at 265 FSB @ 2x512MB 1:1 at default timing settings at CMD 1T.
When used 1x512MB was possible to run 290 1:1 again with CMD 1T..
But 290MHZ FSB 1:1 with ONLY 1X512MB was a big problem for gaming Performance and that was hurt a lot…

Last night I starting to spend a lot of time to playing with DDR timing settings included on BIOS….
After 5 Hours of searching and testing finally mission completed .
Now running a Perfect 285 FBS 1:1 @ CL 3.5 4-4-6 1T @ 3.08 VDDR rock stable error free on MEMTEST+ @ PRIME95 @ Super PI 32MB @ Games….

When Raising FSB up to 290 Getting 121 errors per loop on 5th test of MEMTEST+ and need to play a little more to get it error free….

Please note that I have an A64 3200+ Claw C0 1mb Cache 1 year old which means that is a BAD overclocker versus to new A64 stepping …

Need a little more tweak to raise bandwidth and FSB before I post all the DDR timings here…

Now enjoy with me some screens and just wait for the timings…..



Here is SANDRA MEM...



Just compare same FSB at 1x512MB @ auto DDR Settings....
As you see i dont loose much



And here is A64 Tweaker screen reporting CL4 but i choose CL3.5 on BIOS
