OCZ 3200EL plat rev 2

[ugp]

What are you guys getting with this memory with 2 DIMMs in? Right now I am running 250 @ 2.5-3-3-0 really stable I believe.

[Ubermann]

Zeus, i have now tried running memtest 86 and #5.
I now have a fan blowing over ram cuz i almost burned myself =)
Ram does not get that hot in any other bench or test i tried.

[Nimrod0031]

So you are giving your mem 3.1v uberman??

I have only gien it 2.8 so far. I didn't know how well they liked high volts. but yours seems to be doing ok.

I think I will give it 3.1v when I get home from school

[ugp]

I have having so much trouble with this memory. What DIMMs are you guys running your memory in? I am in 1 + 3. Or should I change it to something else?

[Zeus]

I'm gonna RMA mine, got an RMA number already.
It runs hot, it makes my system not wanting to boot if i set DRAM drive strength below level 3 and it fails Prime at default timings and voltage at 208MHz!! (DDR416)

I hope my replacement will do a lot better.

isn't Level4 the "most relaxed" one for oc'ing?

[Ubermann]

How long should prime run until system is considered stable ?

How long should prime run until system is considered stable ?

24 hours should be long enough.

[Ubermann]

Thats long and boring =)
Heres one cas 2.5 and 305FSB X 6 multi.
Primed for 1.5 hours then moving on.

Its simple
Either you do it with patience OR you get a nice BSOD while playing your fav game and lose your check point

so true... so true

[Samael]

so true... so true

The point is to learn from your mistakes and to dont repeat them

[ugp]

I need more time to screw with this and I need to learn what the hell each settings actually is in the BIOS, besides the obvious ones we always mess with.

[Ubermann]

Im just so happy i didnt try it for 24 hours cuz x7 multi wont pass any memtest =)
Dunno what to try..

WOW! Damn...I didn't know someone posted that! lol That's awsome. Thanks man!

[Ubermann]

Heres a link explaning every bios setting more deeply.

One and a half hour is good enough for me since i'm not a gamer, it's all too flashy for me.

305MHz with CAS2,5 is very nice!

Today i've been RMA-ing mine, it failed Prime at 208MHz 2-2-2-5 with 2.7V

Now that was a real bad stick if you ask me.

Also, i couldn't get my head around this DRAM drive strength thing, setting it to level 2 or 1 resulted in a no post.
Not even the "detecting array" message.

I really hope my replacement will do as fine as yours but knowing me....hmmmm, we'll see.

Too sad =(
Hope they are fast on switching the ram for you, we all hate waiting!
Its like having x-mas the 25:th December.

Oscar have some new bios (8/15) at:

[ugp]

Has anyone tried it yet?

[Ubermann]

Im running it, notice no difference.
Some raid update i think it said.

[ugp]

I am running it now as well. I am seeing how far I can go at 2-2-2-5 with everything else at AUTO with MemTest. Test 5 seems to be the one that will give you errors. And then I am testing SiSoft Sandra Bandwidth and I am going to make a chart. I figure is the best way to start to see how far this memory can go. Is there a ny other test besides 5 I should do as well to test the MEM?

[Ubermann]

I think #5 is the absolute killer for ram.
If it survives that, then it survives anything.

[ugp]

No it doesn't.

Example:

230 1:1 2.5-3-3-7 Everything else on AUTO passes Test 5-7 but isn't SuperPi Stable.

Changed the TREF to 4708 Cycles and passes Test 5 and now is SuperPi Stable at 39s. And Sandra Bandwidth is at 3,509.

And When I tryed to load Windows at a Drive Strength of 4 I got "Detecting Array". So I switched it to AUTO and I now load into Windows.

[Zeus]

Mine had a dislike for test 6, it was the test what made the RAM run the hottest.
Cas 3 errored in test 5 at 290 but it did fine at CAS 2,5.
