OCZ DDR3 4GB Kit OCZ3P16002GK

[X4er0]

I have these sticks, well the 2x2GB, for 1600FSB voltage (OCZ site) has to be1.9V and 1.95 for 1600+ i have them currently running on my GA-X48T-DQ6 on 7-7-7-24 timings 1600FSB stable.

Hi all

I had these sticks today, and i must of had a bad stick, one stick is fine and will pass mem test and vista mem test but the other stick fails straight away and i get bsod of death on vista start up, been testing all morning and afternoon no luck, time to give up and set up a RMA...

[Pyr0]

i've just had a kit of these delivered...
now i'm not sure if i should send them back straight away (to save any problems returning at a later date) as i don't have a board to test them in just yet

[RyderOCZ]

Asus boards that have Skew control... play with advancing the skew up to 300ps as you clock the ram up. It may prove to stablize the board. Start low and increas skew on both channels.

Boards that say they support 1600 MHz ram do have a tough time doing so with 2x2GB and a Quad Core CPU.

You can send them too me.... I'll test them for a few months.....lol

I'll try this, Do I increase the skew EQUALLY on both channels??? If anyone has tried this and found good results please post your findings!

Thanks...

So far yes...but feel free to play with different amounts on each

@ RyderOCZ

What DDR3 4GB kit would you recommend for the 790i

thanks

[BulldogPO]

How far will these sticks steretch on X38 boards?

for 4Gb 1600 cas 7 used voltage >1.8v

maximus xtreme, yeah, all rog boards i ever used were a bit picky and not easy and predictable to tweak. i looooove the REAL asus boards tho
p5k deluxe
p5k3 deluxe
p5k vanilla
p5k pro
p5k premium

all great boards
Ive heard of many people having problems getting 2x2gb 1600 777 kits stable... it seems its not plug and play for all people...
If thats really the case then i dont think it makes a big difference what mfg you buy your kit from, you might just have to try several kits to find one that works well on your board. with ddr3 there are some weird compatibility issues, some kits work great on one board and suck on another one...
id say give ocz a chance to fix this, im sure they will
if the rma kit still doesnt work, go and sell the kit or return it to the shop and try another kit...

what happened maximus extreme?heheh

[saaya]

the bios is buggy, the board boots very slow, sometimes a setting works, then it doesnt, sometimes an oc works, then it doesnt, the pciE slot arrangement sucks, the heatsink sucks if you dont use watercooling, the bios has the settings spread out on one huge bios page you have to scroll up and down...

the most important thing i dont like about the rog boards ive used so far tho, is the high price, and the instability/flakiness
the propper asus boards seem very robust and stable compared to the rog boards.

Can anyone recommend a 2x2gb ddr3 kit that works well in the P5E3 Premium? Sorry for the hijack, but I too am having difficulties getting the OCZ Platinum kit to run at rated timings in my board. Mine is the EB kit with 7-6-6-24 @ 1600mhz timings. I am nearly ready to give up on this memory, but will lose bigtime if I sell the kit and move to another brand of memory.

An Update: Re-flashed Bios with v1203 - Was able to reduce the CPU, DRAM & NB voltage... Stable...

[X4er0]

I have it stable at 7-6-6-24 2T 1600FSB on a X48T-DQ6 1.85V 31 hours orthos on a E8500 on 1.300V

4 or 8GB is going to need skew delay...you can force the modules and NB to work with juice but both will die over time. Also 4GB and 8GB using 1600EB is having a spec change due to board issues, 7-6-6- is moving to 7-7-6 as its far easier on the board and chipset.

8GB also adds a ton of load to the NB, voltages over 1.4 create to much heat, 1.35 to 1.375 V is all I have needed for 8GB at 7-7-6-24 250ps delay on A and B DDr3 1600 with 9650 at 3.6 and now testing 4GHZ. PF7 rest of timings AUTO, NB GTL 61%

The more load you add the more Jitter the board sees, the harder it is to clock the ram. X48, X38, P35, P45 all need skew with 4 and 8GB, NB GTL tuning also with FSB below 1600, over 1600 add CPU GTL also if you have a quad.

The days of easy overclocking are gone if you have either 8GB, a quad or both.

This with a P5E3 Premium, 8GB of 1333 Reaper 6-6-6-24 dimms @ 7-7-6-24 DDR3 1600










In bios you may have 2 options for skew, just A and B try setting 200 to 250ps delay for both

I can run Prime95 all day long but OCCT is a different story. Then after OCCT is stable I try and run COD4 cranked or Stalker.. etc and that is the real test. I find (on the Maximus Extreme #1 in my sig) that gaming is by far the hardest stress test on my rig. Prime95 is butter.

[malkiewicz]

Lol... My OCZ kits unstable again.... I was able to keep it stable for a few days... I'm not having any issues with my other brands... I'll give the OCZ kit one more day - then its off to the trash bin...


EDIT:::::

Its possible that the Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi MB hates (Compatibility Issues) 4GBs of OCZ RAM…. 2GB kits work fine…… Regardless I’m done with OCZ….

[Tony]

your ram is Micron JNL based, setup is everything and making sure the CPU is 100% also helps. make sure the CPU is 100% stable by downclocking the multi and ram and use the PC for a few days,then bring the ram speed back and retest.

Finally try the CPU on the multi you need for the OC

[JohnZS]

Has anyone here tried running 8GB of this RAM on a P5E3?
If so what is the most performance you can get out of the RAM?
I'm still kicking around @ 1333Mhz.
Thanks
