RD600 first look and general questions

[dasa]

still having some minor stability problems that i have to track down (orthos has been failing sometimes and i have been getting 1 error in memtest86 test6) but its getting there

3dm01 59729 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9178957

temps have been getting higher than id like might have to try clean the water loop and remount at some stage

i think this is fairly close to what i had it running in the above tests

I asked about those ancillary voltages as well and was told the board is onew no one relaly knows but NB PLL 1.8v =2.03 was ok...unfortunaltely beyond that I have no idea

ok thanks nealh

ok thanks nealh

Man I need to proof read my post..spelling nad typing goofs

1T is an issue on this board in a big way..you need higher voltages..try 2T and same settings and I bet you are more stable
becareful on the vdimm..most ddr2 will die with that 2.4v

I am calling newegg tonight and RMAing the second board...settings are 3Dmark05 stable one day and fail next....I hate this board

i have found 1t is easy enough to run with the ram at 400 390fsb i dont have to increase the v over what is needed with it at 2t to make 1t stable
with 2t its still limited to around 390fsb stable
however some of the other memory timings i have listed there are making memtest86 report an error in test 6 so i wont be using them for 24\7 settings but they seem fine for benchmarking
while 2.44v is pushing it for the ram it will hopefully be ok for short use since its using micron d9 chips and rated for 2.2v it looks like i will try using 2.35v 24\7

I am still running my ram at 505mhz 1T with 2.3vdimm, 24/7, no issues at all.

It seems that a lot of people are having real problems getting stable on this board. I guess I just got lucky, I can Orthos up to 3.82 I am happy with my board.
