my corsair XMS 3200XL wont...

[MaRtIe]

one more idea. how about chipset cooling. i didnt think it mattered much as the mem controller is ondie. but can it effect anything? cus the chipset is hardly making contact the the cooler

[kromosto]

can be your mem controller

[MaRtIe]

awwwww looks like ime stuck with a crappy cpu. i cant evern RMA it because the amd retail fan dont work.

[MaRtIe]

guys, its done!!! no need to RMA it. ime able to do dual single channels with 512MB of ram prime stable.

one last thing to make sure. for dual channel its the first green+purple slots on the msi k8n NEO2?

[kromosto]

and pls how you do that give some tips as i am another owner of k8n neo2 plat and 2 mems that cant do well

[MaRtIe]

well, it all seemed to go well when i set it to 2T 2.85 instead of 2-2-2-5 1T.


now at 2.5-3-3-5 2T 260mhz dual channel. i dunno how the hell "varzmaster" did 1T command rate. ile keep the thread open and see how far i can get them at 2.5-3-3-5.

remember all it was in my case was 2T

[varzmaster]

At 2T command rate I could reach higher than 270 MHz 2.5-3-3-5. Remember I was using a different CPU and motherboard... which may do a whole lot of difference. Of course it's strange how your nForce3 motherboard seems to be lagging a little bit behind the AV8 - K8T800 Pro I am using. But I think in this case the CPU is to blame. Try lowering its speed (lowering the multi down to 5x) and see how high you can go with your RAM using 1T command.

thanks budday

i run 3dmark 01 at 300mhz 1:1 dual channel. and for some reason 3dmark is saying 44mhz FSB

[varzmaster]

Nevermind 3DMark . For extended CPU/PSB frequencies info you can run CPU-Z... but there are some cases where even what CPU-Z reports is wrong (for instance the .5x or below 5x CPU multi).

So you did 300 MHz 1T 2.5-3-3-5?

[kromosto]

2T is not for me

[MaRtIe]

lol nah not 1T, was 300 2T, but i wish i could run 1T, its amazing you got that.

at 1T the bandwith is huge, maybe it is because my cpu is clocked high + high FSB.

why isnt 2T not for you? lol what happened
