[geneh_00]

Hi guys,

Below are my OC results just to provide with some comparisons for your chip/memory/board.

Following Components were used:
================================================
A64 3400+ C0 CH w/ Thermalright 948U + Panaflo 92mm M1A
@ 1.7 Vcore max allowed
OCZ PC3700 EB 2x512MB @ 2.8 Vdimm max allowed in slot 1/2
Timing used: 2.5-2-2-8 / 3-2-2-8 / 3-3-2-8 , All 1T, 1:1 sync
EPoX 8KDA3+ v.1, BIOS 07/09, HTT (LDT?) 4X
Antec TC 550W
=================================================

With all the following results, dividers were used, BIOS MaxMem speed set @ 166Mhz. All the other settings stayed the same as the initial post.

hmm, interesting

i noticed your vdimm was a nice solid 2.8v, for me, when i set 2.8v it undervolts to 2.656..

That actually happened to me once when I was testing. I then lowered the multi by 1, set Vdimm @ 2.7, rebooted, got in windows, shut off, then don't exactly remember what I did, then turn back on, raised to the original multi and 2.8 Vdimm.

It was all 2.800 Vdimm afterwards.

lol
did you flash to a new bios maybe?

very interesting results! thx for sharing

hmm, just tried that

still 2.656

i heard from a friend that the epox reads incorrect voltages, and someone put a MM to see what they were, and they were stable at what was set in bios

any1 know nething about that?

make sure to set the system to normal insted of fastest.. Reason why is that wit hthe normal setting your ram will be like .1 higher then the fasterest timing.. Strange i know hehe.

Thanks for the info geneh_00. I was gona ask today what the OCZ EB is getting with this board..

Only prob i have is to get my same CPu to run at 2500 will take 1.8v on this board insted of 1.7 on my old Chaintech NF3150.

My water cooling need to be re done to handle the difference..

How about some sandra mem benches?

Oh and BTW.. I figured out how to use the 7th mult. I had to use Clockgen.. but it would only work if i boooted in with the 8 mult. If i used anything else it would lock right away.

Now lets see how high that ram can go!

P.S. ya might have to use the ldt(HTT) x 2 in order to get into the 330+ HTT range..

On fastest my vdimm readings dont even function. It just stays there. I found this out when I was adjusting my VR for more voltage, and when I got to 3.1 i set to fastest than I started adjusting again. I kept turning but it was still 3.1 Then I had it set back to normal and my vdimm was way up.

woot! i didnt realise that the setting fastest did that, i just changed it to normal, and now its at 2.752 instead of 2.656

thanks for that, very helpfull

Nice comprehensive results. How about showing us what is Prime stable and what is '01 stable. Whenever I run 2x256 3700eb in my k8ns-pro (3400+ CG) I have stability issues (235 prime & '01 stable). But my bh-5 runs equally well 1x256 or 2x256. BTW, how much did 1gig of 3700eb set you back, lol?
