Ok didnt know that, sorry man. Hey Radja, on your board are you running standard, turbo, or extreme profile ? just curious

[radaja]

turbo

[neo mike]

Cause i was told on the gigabyte forum at tweaktown to always run it on standard, i have run it on extreme, and it caused my everest scores to go up 300 points, but the guy on the forum told me all that does is reset all your manual settings, and not to run it on that, so im like what is it for then

[radaja]

yea that sounds strange.i just leave on the default turbo. but that extreme thing doesnt make sense.

[CryptiK]

Use memset, set auto, and manually set all your timings, tweaks & PL. Check what memest says. Take a SS.

Then set turbo, leaving all the other settings as is, and re-check with memset. Are the values the same or have they changed? Take a SS.

Then set extreme, leaving all other values as is, and re0check with memset. Are the values the same or have they changed? Take a SS.

Post the SS's here.


That guy at tweaktown seems to know how to help out noobs, but not much more.

[radaja]

heres a quick test. xp vs vista everest results.first is vista. the 2nd is XP.

[fatguy1992]

XP faster

[radaja]

its even more of a gap in copy at 540fsb. first one is vista,second one is XP.

[Ket]

I think those screens categorically show why Vista sucks at file copying

So far it's looking like 1300 is too much for my CSX GKX kit, but 1250 is doable on the Rampage'd Maximus Formula.

cryptik, heres those tests using turbo and extreme. had to run them without any overclock. couldnt seem to use extreme while i was overclocked. looks like it doesnt change any timings in auto or manual modes. but in auto mode it did change the phase delay setting marked in red. with timings set manually nothing really changed except where i marked in blue,but i think thats just a glitch cause im only using two modules.the everest bandwidth scores changed though.1 auto turbo.2 auto extreme.3 manual turbo.4 extreme.

Hey i just picked me up a ud3p to play around with and check out, so far wow, i cant get anything over 490 fsb ????????, whats up with this board ? have seen great results, same bios as my other gigabyte, but cant get nothing going. Have your tried any overclocks on the 333,266,400 straps ?

[radaja]

sure. one thing you definitely need to do is set the mch ref voltage manually. i couldnt get any OC to work until i followed zodden suggestion and set it manually. ex-set your vtt to 1.28. now set your mch ref voltage at 0.750 in the bios.at this point when you change the value of the vtt you can see the mch ref change along with it.ex-vtt1.26 =mch-0.73?. once i did this everything became stable.hope this helps

[Mescalamba]

..interesting.. I have exact opposite results, Vista faster nd XP slower. But Im AMD user, maybe its different for IMC CPUs..

[radaja]

mescalamba,yea i think your right about the imc with AMD.do you have access to xp and vista to do some tests?

[neo mike]

Ok i will try that raja, wow this board is very touchy, see what happens, thanks.

My new CSX Diablo 1150 D9GKX kit on my Maximus Formula, Rampage BIOS. PL was at 5. VDIMM was 2.40 BIOS (= 2.45 real). I think this is about the practical limit of these sticks.

[radaja]

another xp-vista comparison.1 vista ,2 XP. just requested an rma for my muskins,
dont know what they'll send me.will be getting my new cellshocks and teams extreme 10400's soon.

[Mescalamba]

mescalamba,yea i think your right about the imc with AMD.do you have access to xp and vista to do some tests?

Not anymore, my instalation of x64 XP died yesterday and Ive decided to dump them and have Vista only.. Ive tested that when I had dual-boot Vista and XP. Difference was about 1ns max at latency and few hundreds of mb read/write/copy.. maybe Ill try to reproduce that some day, but now my HDD is full of data.. cant fit another system. Sorry..

It would be very interesting to have comparsion of Vista vs XP on i7.. if its possible to instal XP on i7 platform (I know its DDR3.. but still there are Micron D9 GTS/GTR plus.. even if we dont like it.. era of DDR2 is over. AM3 will use DDR3 too..

[radaja]

yea but hopefuuly all that means is ddr2 prices will drop like a rock,

[Ket]

I have nothing against DDR3, but with DDR2 prices so low and set only to fall even more, its good times for DDR2 IMO with 1066MHz 2x2GB kits selling for about £50. DDR3 will only make sence once its matured a little more and prices come down.

Nice, Nanok! I see you're still scanning ebay!

Volts?

Nope. Supply and demand. That's why DDR prices are higher than DDR2....lower supply. DDR2 is so plentiful right now, so prices are down. Got Cas3 Dominators for $25 on Black Friday.

2.4V
