Micron D9 GMH\GKX\JKH etc club

[Xvys]

I have the 2 x 1G Ballistix PC8500 and 2 x 1G of Crucial 10th Anniversary, which are both probably D9 GMH. The Ballistix 1066 are a little better than the 10th Annie as they need less voltage to reach 660 MHz. When I run all 4 sticks my COPY score drops 3,000 mb (to 7,000), despite doubling the available ram? This is probably an idiosyncracy of the P5K. I run a very low voltage system with most settings on their lowest levels @ 4100 MHz (500 x 8). Here are a couple of screenies of my Everest cache benchmarks:

Turn that vcore down unless you want to kill that wolfie within a few months. 45nm chips can NOT handle voltages above 1.45v and live a long life. At 1.7v your wolfie will die within a year.

It liked the high vcore for benching, 3d stable and so on at that clock, for 24/7 it was running 4.5ghz at 1.52vcore..

Like your Crucials! You reached high clock btw. Can you pass Windows MemTest with that voltages?

Yea they are not bad atall!
Havnt tested stability at those clocks, running them at 500fsb 5:6 1200mhz 2.2volt 24/7

Nice clocks and congrats on breaking 10sec SPI1M. That sure is an aggressive vcore.?

Breaking 10s was done at 4521mhz, now im sub 8 at 5,7ghz



Talking about high volts, Nanok and me did 1190MHz DDR 3-3-3-9 @ 3,375vdimm (G.skill 8000HZ)

Thats still high for a 45nm. Seriously, like your really going to notice a difference between say 4.2GHz @ <1.45v (sensible) vs. 4.5GHz @ 1.52v (kiss goodbye to your wolfie)

With his RAM pots?

Yes with rampot

One of my Dominator PC2-8500 D9GMH's sticks just died

So now I only have 1GB of RAM

But i'v already ordered some Corsair Dominator 1142MHz CL5's

I'm going to RMA my dead stick and I was wondering if someone could tell me what Corsair's RMA is like? Slow? Fast?

Thx

Depends on the kit. 8500 RMA shouldn't take that long, but I can almost guarantee you won't get D9GMH back (I didn't get D9 back when I RMA'd my 8500s). I RMA'd my 6400C3 kit and it took MONTHS but they managed to replace it with another of the same, D9 and all. Dunno how they managed that this late in the game.

It doesn't really matter if i don't get D9's back oh well.

How did you kill it? High volts?

[Don_Dan]

Just wanted to share some results of my TeamGroup Team Xtreem 667 C3:

At first, 600MHz CL5-5-5-15, 10GB/s Everest read

By don_dan at 2008-10-02

Then 425MHz CL3-3-3-10, I tried to set tRCD and tRP of 2 via MEMSET, but then Windows would crash immediately.

By don_dan at 2008-10-02

Both times settings were Everest benchmark and 1M stable, but not 32M or even Memtest stable. SuperPI 32M would crash with a message, but didn't crash the whole computer, which it did before when settings were unstable. Went from 2,32 to 2,45V Vdimm to get it stable, but this didn't help, any ideas? NB volts? Or is this just the limit of my RAM? Just asking because maybe I'm missing something.

[fatguy1992]

No

I haven't overclocked in over 2 weeks

It just died

[johnysb]

Nice clocks, J.

thank you, i am trying to do ~1250

[zsamz_]

Don_Dan something is wrong with your evest scores they should be higher in write and copy
and trfc is verry high
i havent touched n nvidia board for a loong time but something you gotta enable

[WeldZilla]

I have 10 sticks here in my room

Here it is running with a Q6600 on my P5E

Another experiment with the Quad and the HZ on my P5E


Here it is running on my P5WDH Deluxe this board prefers 1:1 for speed.


Here is my P5K-e wifi loving the 6400HZ!! all air-cooled!!

A little more out of the HZ

Hey the P5K-e works well with dividers. This is the settings I use for my daily clock

That is 9 months of more than 1.5 V to the e8400 and it is solid today as it was in January!!
Back to the P5E
Here is a 32M run


Then there is my most frustrating board I have owned in years!!!

It's just that you can feel somewhere hidden deep with in it is the power to really be a screamer but it is hidden so deep that it seems to be unreachable!!

That board is my P5Q-Pro.

Clock for clock on pi it is right there with my p5e it may be even a tic faster.

On 3D benches however my P5E crushes it.

Still I do like the miserable thing.

I need to update my sig cuz there I tell you I run it daily at 4500 as a 24/7
but I don't. I actually run it at 4275mhz 24/7 now. This board also loves the G.Skill 6400HZ



My daily clock. this rig is air-cooled also.


As you can see with these 4 different Asus boards that they all just love the

G.Skill 6400HZ

The P5E, P5Ke-wifi and the P5Q-Pro all run 4 sticks at 1200+ just fine

Nice work with the ram, 32M @ 616.9 MHz 5-5-5-6 is impressive. What vdimm did that require? You sure have been thrashing that 8400, I wouldn't have thought they'd take that kind of abuse daily for so long with no ill effects.

[WeldZilla]

CrytiK That is 2 E8400's running at 1.5+V since January. Both are just as good as day one!! The mem volts were set at 2.08 in the bios the P5E overvolts a bit so it was closer to 2.22V.

On the P5K-e to get it to run 1:1 @ 549 the mem voltage was set at 2.12.

Here is yet another example of what you can do if you are limited by a stubborn proceesor with this memory.

as an example I have seen a lot of people who are stuck right around 400 to 420 fsb with their Quads and some older dualies



Again that was 2.08 in the bios on my P5E so it was in reality between 2.2 and 2.25


IT won't make up for massive amounts of mega-hertz but it will certainly help!!

You know the 6400HZ isn't the only really good mem out there, it is just the only stuff I use.

Here is the most telling test I have to show people why Being able to run G.Skill 6400HZ or

any great memory for that matter on the higher dividers will give your system way more power than 1:1.

Check out these 2 Aquamark3 runs all settings identical except the first run is done at 1:1 even with very

tight timings the 1:1 setting will be just hammered!!! Checkout the CPU score. Pretty damn good score!! as is the overall score.



Now when you apply the mem divider with all settings the same except the mem divider and timings.

you will see the cpu score jumps up dramatically!! It also lessons the processor's bottlenecking of the card so the graphics score goes up

as does the overall score dramatically!!!



guys and gals great memory is worth it!! It is in many cases the difference between a nice setup and a Killer Machine!!

...........The mem volts were set at 2.08 in the bios the P5E overvolts a bit so it was closer to 2.22V................

That's pretty good ram to be 32M stable at that voltage, speed and timings. Don't kill it. It's also good to see the cpu's dealing with those voltages too, I have been hesitant to raise my voltage above 1.3625v in case damage resulted. Not that I'll be doing that anyway, but it's nice to see.

Yeah, write and copy bandwidth is what I'm wondering about, I think it's low because of my low CPU frequency, but I will have a look at it.
tRFC is so high as it's the value set by the SPD, and as I never got a gain from lowering tRFC I left it there, on the other hand, remember that I can set tRC on the 680i, and this value is giving a boost ( about 15MB/s in Everest write bandwidth when lowering it 1 value ).

I keep my E8400 there also, but it sucks at OCing. I can't go above 3.8GHz and pass Prime.
I did get my Team back from RMA (in Taiwan)

How much voltage you using on that wolfie? Try 1.42v.

[Dee]

CellShock @ DDR1302, 2.12v (BIOS), PL8, all Pull-Ins enabled.

[CryptiK]

Very nice work Dee, broke 11K across the board

What gains in everest do you get with the pull-ins enabled? Any chance of a pull-ins disabled compared to a pull-ins enabled run with the same settings?

[WaterFlex]

Dee
Very good clocking! Nice work! But you need 2,25-2,3 to make it stable.

[RASTAVIPER]

Guys, which memory is considered to be the best for OC with 9950?Is it true that we never combine memory with voltage above 2volts with 9950?

[Dee]

Very nice work Dee, broke 11K across the board

What gains in everest do you get with the pull-ins enabled? Any chance of a pull-ins disabled compared to a pull-ins enabled run with the same settings?

I'll try again later with Pull-Ins disabled. I don't think it will make a huge difference, only very minor.

Dee

Indeed, I think so too. Still, the fact that it was able to boot to Windows and run Everest benchmarks is promising.
