OCZ VX, Best Memory made since BH5!!

[kakaroto]

260Mhz 2-2-2-5 1T can be matched to ~ 290MHz 2.5-3-3-5 1T TCCD.

its about 30MHz.

I get 273x11 (BH5) 41.59sec pifast. With TCCD i get the same time at 300x10. (TCCD 2.5-3-3-6 maxed out)

I'm still working on the divider myth

Not in a 3Dmark 2001 bench in can't. 2.5-3-3-5 can't touch it.

quick question OPP, does the 4000+ handle more like an FX-53 or FX-55?

[charlie]

Looks like MSI has ANOTHER WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!

It runs like a FX-53, and this particular chip overclocks like a low level FX-53

Ok, CAS2 is faster in 3dmark01 indeed.

BAM! 330 right into windows, this getting fun

I've never run mem test in my life, no need. If my mem can run 2001 lobby tests I'm a happy camper.

As far as voltage, 3.65V idle, Sandra bench drops it to about 3.45V, 2001 lobby tests drop it around 3.52V.

With booster or cap mod? If cap mod, that seems rather larger drop than I am used to seeing. I guess you are running 3.3v around 3.75 or so for cap mod?

[OPPAINTER]

Might as well test the 133 divider while we're at it.

That was with booster.

Hmmm now really starting to think I might have faulty booster. may have taken out 1 mobo behaving erratically on few VX.... Interesting.

[OPPAINTER]

Some 133 divider loven, this Neo4 is great board, it just doesn't to stop going

370 HTT Holy crap!!!

370 HTT Holy crap!!!

Thats nothing bro, I think this Board has some major 400+ potential, I'm working on it.


GravediggA,
I'm useing 2.5 at the moment, I just put it there to be safe, it may not need to be that low.

OPP

[funkflix]

Looks really good! Where is the Ram that can handle 400 MHz!?

[cantankerous]

Hey OPP,

do you know if the NF4 chipset has the same limitation on the SATA ports crapping out above 240fsb?

[OPPAINTER]

Hey OPP,

I don't know about all of the ports but I'm useing a Raptor on the SATA1 port right now with no problems at 390, there are 8 ports on this bad boy

OPP

[NoX]

Alright then, that's menough, when this board hits the retail market I'll dump the P4 for an A64 and some voltage lovin OCZ (if still available). I want to experience this freaking HTT madness!!

[cantankerous]

hehe ok thanks OPP. I have 4 drives running in 2 seperate arrays and want to be sure I'm not going to be stuck because of this. On NF3 I could only use on array as the other would crap out at 240+. I hope I could run both arrays on the NF4 without an issue.

390HTT

Amazing....
MSI has completely undone their 2003 reputation...

Next we'll see an NF4 Ulta-PCI-X

which will be NF4 with DDR2 and PCI Xpress....
Imagine OCZ DDR2-4200 running 350mHz, 1:1 @ 3-2-2-x with an x850xt plat

One downfall to this mobo. V-core is only 1.63V max. And from what I hear the controller only handles up to 1.65V.
Gunna have to wait and see what the v-mod experts come up with.

390HTT

I dont see what is the big deal with high HTT?? it's the FINAL hyper transport speed that matters for the overall performance of the system.

So with 390HTT, the LDT must either be 3x or 2x. With an LDT of 3, 3x390= 1170MHz, it is very unlikely since it's way above nvidia spec'd 1000MHz. So you most likely will use your LDT at 2X for 2x390HTT = 780 MHz final hyper transport speed, which is not a big accomplishment overall.

For memory overclock with 390HTT, you most likely will not be running your RAMs sync'd. (I have not seen anyone with 390MHz in memory overclock posted). So, the only ram options are to use 166 or 133 settings in the BIOS. With a 166 setting your memory speed would be 324 MHz (390HTT*166/200). Even that is highly unlikely, unless you go with the gskill 4800 sticks which only comes in 256 flavors for 2x256=512MB max).

So the most logical choice would be 133 memory setting in BIOS which is 390HTT*133/200 = 260MHz memory speed. I have seen people with much higher memory speeds than that!

So basically, running 390HTT is no big deal and is not such an impressive accomplishment in overclocking. It just sounds impressive on paper.
