Anyone 4x 256MB BH-5 on DFI NF4 ?

[eva2000]

Anyone here try 4x 256MB BH-5 sticks on DFI NF4 boards ? Just thought I'd try it before i sell off these 4 sticks (only selling within Australia)

I'm testing 4x 256MB XMS3500C2v1.1 BH-5 on DFI NF4 SLI-D 331-3 bios with 3500+ CAA2C 0507 GPMW cpu and so far managed in memtest86+ 1.55.1

200-235mhz 2-2-2-6 2T 7-14-2-2-1-2 with Bank Interleaving enabled at 3.2-3.35v vdimm

11x 235mhz 2-2-2-6 2T 7-14-2-2-1-2 gives superpi 8M around 6min 03s and sandra buffered 5900 MB/s and Everesthome 6600ish

at 11x 240mhz memtest test #5 freezes until i set cas2 to cas 2.5 for 240mhz 2.5-2-2-6 so 11x240mhz 2.5-2-2-6 7-14-2-2-1-2 with interleave enabled gives me 2788MB/s memtest bandwidth

i get same memtest freeze at test #5 at 11x245mhz 2.5-2-2-6, but so far looping test #5 at 11x243mhz 2.5-2-2-6 7-14-2-2-1-2 2T bank interleave enabled gives me 2822MB/s memtest bandwidth.

Anyone care to share their 4x stick experiences on DFI NF4 ?

I run 4 x 512mB MUSHKIN BLUE UTT @ 235, 2T 2-2-2-6 @3.4v
Played games nice

what kind of sandra and everest home bandwidth you get ? screenie of A64Tweaker set settings ? Just need some tips as to better clock with 4 dimm slots populated

Wondering what types of games you played that benefited from the 2gigs of ram. I'm thinking large maps and units type stuff like Rome: Total War? If Venice actually goes 4x512 1T maybe I can justify purchase based on better gameplay.

I put 4*512mb ocz vx in my DFI NF4... came up 2gb ran, played WoW 3 mins later crashed.. wasnt overclocked all settings on auto.. so just took it out and played with 1gb, didnt have time to test since game is addictive

Here's some 4x 256MB XMS3500C2v1.1 BH-5 oc'ing on DFI NF4 SLI-D @243mhz 2.5-2-2-6 2T (cas2 goes upto 235-239mhz 2-2-2-6 2T)





Sandra
Buffered = 6,076 / 6,073
Unbuffered = 3,036 / 3,162

I think a big prob with 4x512 is the voltage dropping under load. I have seen my vdimm drop from 3.4v to 3.18v under load on my dfi nf4 with 4x512 @2-2-2-5-2t ram at 233mhz.

must try 4x 512MB XMS3500C2v1.1 BH-5 next heh

but here's cpuz validated

I sure hope that has something to do with your power supply!

Yes please. BTW - Seems like you got some "juice" with the guys at OCZ. Know anyone at AMD that can get you a Venice 3500 quick.

[eva2000]

I wish someone at AMD would give me a venice LOL

I'm forking out $$$ for an FX-55 soon anyway been hungry for >11-12x cpu multipliers
