So has anyone actually got their EB to work?

[GazC]

I've solved the problem, can a mod please amend the thread title?

Significant find inside.

(edited to remove rant factor, sorry guys - Gaz)

[MentholMoose]

Maybe you got a bad stick? Does memtest give you errors at stock?

[GazC]

Sorry guys.

[LilGator]

Is this ram in beta ?

[GazC]

Sorry for ranting.

cactus can you list your setup.

I am curious becuase your BH-5s were incompatible also


try not to be hasty in making calls , I have had pretty good luck with what playing I have done

Cactus, Iam running the same stuff on the DFI NF2 Ultra without problems up to ~255 MHz.

Can you list your latency settings, frequencies and voltages as well as the complete system specs?

I am sure we can get to the bottom of this pretty soon.

for starters, I would think you should try with a single DIMM only in slot #3 with changing the DIMMs to make sure that it is not one single DIMM that screws you up.

Hello Cactus Jack. Seems you are having issues. What motherboard are you running?

I have spent many hours testing the EB RAM and I assure you that if it was $hit we would not have released it. All of the benches and post I made were the real deal.

Email me off my sig for some one on one, I'll give you my IM and we will get you running. Otherwise give me some more system info and we will do it here.

Lets get it ON!!

[megahurtz-oc]

hope it was a bad stick i was goin try this stuff out guess ill wait.

[ryanpgroovy]

Well ,

I did find a guy whos having good luck on his Nforce 2
over at DSL reports forums http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...8764~mode=flat


Also Megahurtz , rember cactus had issues with Bh-5s also

[LikwidKool]

Ryan I was just going to post Podunks results. He actually got them after seeing most of my results

Cactus lets not be hasty. Possibly you got a bad stick, and I am SURE the OCZ guy's will work with you.

[megahurtz-oc]

so it should be okay with intel? which would benefit me the most at 250fsb? 3200eb, 3500eb, or th3700eb i want the tightest timings. voltage not aprob. ive had my 3.3 rail to 3.90 w/out probs

[LikwidKool]

I don't think there will problem on any platform. Cactus more than likely has a bad stick.

As far as what's best, prolly the pc3500 or pc3700 if you can get it. For 250 the 3700 might be best. Ryan??

[ryanpgroovy]

I had great luck with the Asus P4C

at 3.3 volts 500mhz I would guess 3-2-2 is a sure bet but you might want to stick a fan on the ram


My guess is that cactus since he had problems with bh-5 also
probably has some other issues .

[andyOCZ]

I've ben testing the bejeesus out of NF2 boards and had great luck. The really cool part is that the 512mb modules work great and overclock just fine. I'll get stickers out of Cactus' behind when he comes on tomorrow.

[megahurtz-oc]

so which ones 3200,3500,3700 would you recommend? im about to order but would like your opinion?

[charlie]

megahurtz-oc,

for 250+ on the 875P, try the 3500EB (or 3700EB) and shoot for 250, 2.5-2-2-5. Let us know!

[ryanpgroovy]

I am doubtfull on 2.5-2-2 @ 500 , unless you guys have seen people doing it

I see stability issues @ 460and above 2.5-2-2 on 875 boards at normal voltages ( 2.85 )

3-2-2 seems more realistic

trying to be helpfull

also keep in mind , while I was able to run 500+ pretty easily that even the 3700 is only speced at 3700 ;-)

My opinion on 3500 vs 3700 , is definetly get the 3500 and save yourself some money

[unregistered]

well, the EB stuff really works great at low latencies, that is the main thing for me.

[megahurtz-oc]

thanks ryan just ordered some 3500. ill keep ya guys posted. hopefully ill get this stuff at same time as my new 3.4ee.....

I'll push it a bit more tomorrow... time to hit the sack but I am running rock-solid at 2.5:2:2 and 220 MHz, what else do you want?

255MHz is no problem either but I have to relax the latencies then.

[ryanpgroovy]

Mega -

When you get it , drop me a pm , I would love to get involved in helping you take it to the max :-)

[rc7]

Hmm..this EB ram gets hot enough that it needs a fan right on the mem to get higher? Seems like even with 3.3v my hyperx doesn't get hot enough to need a fan, and even with a fan I don't think the difference would be that dramatic.

[LikwidKool]

a fan does help. I have seen a few ° drop with the fan on than without.
