    Tweaking Mushkin Redline 2GB CE-6/ DFI Expert

    I've been tweaking my memory some lately. I had given up on these Mushkins @ 280 3-3-8-2. This was alot more than most were getting, and 3D Stable, I was happy with that. I recently Changed Bios on my Expert from the latest official to OCZ Tony's 704-BT for expert. It may sound strange but my system seems to feel a tad bit quicker and its been more stable with this bios. I was able to go from 280 to 290 Completely stable so far. I was also able to get 100 more MHz from my 165. 2800 to 2900. I've always been 3D stable with these mushkins so i'm assuming they're gonna 3D test ok. I am running 3Dmarks next and will be posting results soon. If you have a DFI Expert try the 704BT for expert if you havent already. Here are some Screenshots.



    My Cooling.. The Memory is behind that aluminum plate. The Lian Li W/ DFI Expert offers great memory cooling. 120mm ducted to memory.

    set your DS/dds for higher level set, so that your super pi times won't fall apart to much

    wow, this is awesome...

    great stuff nugzo!

    IIRC at Anandtech 2GB kits roundup they claimed ~290MHz 3D stable with the same Mushkin stuff. i admit i was sceptical about it then...

    Amazing sticks nugzo. Get me your max for the database once you have it. This may actually pursuade me to update it again.

    OK everything is still fine @ 290. Been gaming for a few days with no issues at all. I cant get anymore out of them though. I'm not convinced they are maxed, i think it's just a lack of knowledge on my part. What timings would you guys start with to try and get a few more MHz? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Why is your 32m so slow?

    Same cpu speed... 265 vs 290......

    You have some subtimings to tweak still

    Wow, nice ram... If I didn't such a POS memory controller I'd be all over this kit. Finally ballistix has some competition. How long does that kit survive at those clocks?
