CSX DDR3 arrived: Diablo 2000MHz & CEC 1333MHz kits first look

[Chri$ch]

Chri$ch could you share your GTL settings for 500 fsb 1:2 32M pls?

There is nothing to share, i had them @ auto

for 500FSB 1:2 you need to set all the performance settings (Static read control, mem OC charge etc) @ auto,
otherwise it wont boot (or i get a bluescreen)

[over@locker886]

finally i have some good news too, on X48 this kit begins to fly really nice, so all of my bad feelings was gone, but my P5Q3 results are still really weird with them...



btw 1800 7-6-5-18 also 32M and memtest stable at 2.00v

ohh, bro, please update your bios to 0301 or 0401 on Rampage Extreme! Maybe you will help more for memories

[Achill3uS]

Well mate, glad to see you get these stable at 2GHz too. Can you flash SPD with XMP and test if both 1866MHz/2GHz XMP profiles works stable on Rampage Extreme without messing with any settings in bios?
GTL settings are not universal, they depends on what PSU you use, even what revision board/what fab(for asus ch/tw) it is manufactured. So this is trial and error process. I have P5E3 Deluxe to test later on.

i will flash your SPD in it today and test it again, but i dont prefer this profile oc stuffs, like XMP, i like more to set the timings and ect manual.
yes BUT, on most mobos like the Rampage, dont need to play with them to get high clocks on fsb/ram, but the 3 phase P45 mobos like the P5Q3, are really sensitive for this settings, you need to play with the vtt/gtl rate for fsb/ram stability much earlyer than in other chipsets ever needed as my experience... (Maximus 2 Formula was not stable at only 500fsb without good GTL settings, and its only DDR2 mobo)
good luck with the P5E3 Deluxe m8

A brief test of the 4GB kit

This is a very nice kit ..... the blackops will not let me go to 2t but for the 3 hours i have been testing this isn't that bad

nice result with 4GB kit, try to lower the timings to 7-6-6 or 7-6-5, 7-7-7 is for JNL

hmm, this sounds interesting, i will check it asap, thanks!

i will, but smbody dont pass me them

[Achill3uS]

heh, tryd Chri$ch's settings, but still the same results with the CSX on my P5Q3, 1800 8-7-6 2.0v and still a ton of errors (this vdimm was enough for memtest stability at even cas7 in X48) weird

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Wouldn't boot Vista already tried it
This board and these extremely good ram sticks are one hell of a combination !

If been through 5 different boards with 2x 4gb kits the last 5 weeks and this is by far the best board and result i got...... most boards realy realy hate 4GB kits especially if you through a high clocked quad in the mix (chipset ?!?!).

The Blackops is performing like you expect and finally stability ....

[Chri$ch]

i dont know why, but sometimes i have the problem that i can only use a res. of 800x600 if i boot 500FSB 1:2

but its Dual 32M stable



max. 1M

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Well got a bit further.
These sticks love voltage this is at 2.0V



Don't mind the pi time and score's.
I'm rebuilding my raid5 array wich take's 20 hours ......

Maybe you can try this kit with a Quad-Core 45nm? I really want to know if a quad would make a huge impact...

Im on a QX9770 wich as far as i know is a 45nm quad core

increase your sb voltages.

[slim142]

Oh sorry, didnt notice that! I thought you were one of the guys with E8400, E8500.

So thats the max you can get it up to? ~880Mhz? What vdimm?
Cant you improve your reading on X48 boards like 790is? With P1 & P2 disabled I get 9200 but when enabled I get 11200. (Using F3-12800CL7D-2GBHZ @ Stock)

I have tested several boards (dfi t3rs and a few more) but non could get to these speeds.
The boards are having a real hard time with 4Gb with a high clocked quad.

Believe me if i tell you i tested these boards in the last 5 weeks and none could even come close to what the blackops is producing
This was a 1.66V @ NB and 2.0V @ Vdimm.

Well 4Gbs with OC Quad means limited overclock for sure thats why I would like to see more testing from people but using quads instead of duals to see how high can they get the RAM.

Thats a lot of NB voltage for that speed, I guess 1600-1700Mhz for the RAM is the spot if you want to have your Quad overclocked.
Maybe the reason why I was suffering overclocking my D9JNL while my Quad was already in 450Mhz FSB.

I think i can lower the nb voltage a bit, this was just a quick test.
You put a hell of allot more pressure on the chipset with 4Gb and a 4Ghz+ quad

[slim142]

Well yeah, thats why you want the best ICs you can get on the market so squeeze all those Mhz

Anyways, Im glad Im going to watercool my NB so I can push it a little higher once I get my G.SKill RMAed.

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Well got a bit further with the memory can boot right up at 1800 cas 8 (quad @ 450) ..... this ram is realy realy nice

[Kasparz]

SmokeyTheBandit, maybe you can try this SPD i attached with BlackOps and quadcore with XMP enabled? This have 1866Mhz XMP profile, not sure your quad can handle 466FSB stable, but nonetleless this is final SPD for 4GB Diablo kit.

[slim142]

Wow that would be the best and highest speed. OC Quad+4Gbs @ 1866Mhz = Killer

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Thanks for the new spd Kasparz
Tried it but for now couldn't achieve any higher speeds.

From the testing i done i will keep it at 1760 cl 7 wich gives me a nice 10700 mb/s in everest.
The chipset is having a mayor hard time with anything higher than this for now this will be my 24/7 speed but will be testing with future blackops biosses when they arrive.
They are tweaking the newer biosses to have more/better support for 4gb kits ... more to come

[slim142]

Smokey, dont you have any 790i chipset that you can try?

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Smokey, dont you have any 790i chipset that you can try?

Nope but i have no doubt it they will run 2000+ Mhz on the 790i
1740 .. 7-7-7-20 1T = 32M Pi stable .....

[slim142]

I wish you had one so you could show us some bandwidth scores with P1 & P2 Enabled.

[shinchan03]

which samsungs are you going to test? I'm very curious how they put up to the d9's.

[Kasparz]

HC9 Samsungs. These are most likely going for sale as 1600MHz 7-7-8 2GB/4GB CEC kits. D9GTR is a lot better than Samsungs, thats for sure. But Samsungs are a lot better than Qimonda. So if you want cheap but fast DDR3 for your P35/P45, get Samsungs. For X38/X48 and nF790i D9GTR is better.
