OCZ PC3200 Gold new BH5 die + DFI NF4 SLI-D Part2

[justwOo]

Us canadians should make group orders for value vx, twinmos, and g.skill or something :P

We'll smuggle them across then overclock for cheaper!!!! buwahahahhaha

[Eldonko]

I think its -2 for UTT, -1 for TCCD, and -3 for both UTT and TCCD

Heh, Gskill isn't cheap in the US, its like $400 USD for FF =/
I have some value VX, it avail in Canada at my local computer store Link

[justwOo]

Oh snap! Thanks for that link

We cant even get G.skill in canada though :P
I'm thinkin about trying some of what eva's got now though

edit... seems as though NCIX carries G.skill GH now, 2-3 week delivery time on them though, ouch

Well after several days of tweaking and 5 BIOS flashes I got this Gold BH to run at DDR500 at 3.4v.

good going

[Eldonko]

Thanks Going to add more volts and get this RAM's limit tomorrow.

EDIT: Here we go, this is more like it.

[Eldonko]

Had to drop 3 Mhz to get it stable =/ 260 is nothing to complain about though, especially for $200 Canadian.

Here are my results with this RAM. My specs:

OCZ EL Gold BH-5
DFI NF4 Ultra-D
Winchester 3000+
Using 510-2 BIOS, with 3.3V line (without the trick) with orange DIMMs

230 MHz with 3.0V,
MyGenie Settings:
2-2-2-8-1T-07-11-3-2-2-3-3120-1-Enable
Increase-200-Level 7-Level 3-7-Fast-5.0-016-Disable-16x-7x-Disable

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=20594



My results are notthing extraordinary, but I think they are pretty good for only 3.0V. I am going to push higher, hopefully they will scale well with voltage.

I have tried 240 with up to 3.2V (using 3.3V line and no tricks), but it can't do it. The 3.3V line is just not enough, doesn't deliver good voltage. I have had this happen to me before with CH-5/UTT sticks, couldn't get past 220 with 3.2V, but when i switched to 5V line, the same sticks went as high as 250 with the same 3.2V.

What do you gusy think of my results and the timings so far?

[Eldonko]

If you bump voltage to 3.4v you should be able to get 240-250Mhz+. Timings look good, but you may have to loosen trfc a bit to 16 or so. For me, this RAM scaled with voltage like this:
3.4v 252Mhz
3.5v 256Mhz
3.65v 260Mhz

eldonko, can u list your genie dram for me pls and bios you are using? thx

[Eldonko]

Yep, I can post my settings when I get home from, but I have flashed in 0310 and am using TCCD atm so I dont have a tweaker shot. What I can do is load my settings in the BIOS, write em down and post. Hellfire BIOS worked best for this RAM for me, I tried many others and didn't have much success >240Mhz. I ran at 260Mhz with Hellfire for 5 days without a hitch.

I found it took a ton of tweaking to get this RAM to run well and the strange thing is Eva2000's settings did not work for me at all. You just have to keep playing with tweaker until you have success, the same settings do not work for everyone

[jkabaseball]

Mine are doing 250 MHz 3.2volts, w/310 BIOS, 2-2-2-5 still burning in.

Are you using the 3.3V or 5V line, and also what color DIMMs? Thanks.

[jkabaseball]

yellow and the 5v rail.

EDIT: ANyone try and take off the HS off of them? Do they read BH-5 or have the dots liek bh-5?

[Eldonko]

Loaded my settings for BH, may be a little off because of a different BIOS but should be close.

2-5-2-7-16-3-2-1-2-3072-auto-enable
auto-0-lev 8-lev 1-7-5-256-dis-16-7-dis

Dram response = fast.

[13oost]

my OCZ Value has the Gold BH die on it, 2-2-2-5 @ 200mhz 2.6vdimm on a NF2 and up to 230mhz 2-2-2-5 @ 2.9vdimm

sweet stuff

thx man. wanted to see some of your values and mix and match.

my ram just wont cross ~247 at 3.4v. i need 3.5 to get 250-251. i just got it 2 days ago, so maybe if i keep burnin them in they'll loosen up.

wish me luck

[Eldonko]

No problem and good luck

I have the twinmos bh-5. I have been burning it in and got my venice up to 2.7 and tight timings but I have trouble with the dividers and using the 9x multi.

Do you guys run dividers with OCZ or other BH5?

Why use yellow slots for hellfire bios. I am using 510-2 should I go with the hellfire-2?

Also I wonder if the -3 bios might be better to get bh-5 higher and looser? Any help with those questions would be great.

[Eldonko]

Dividers do not work for me with any UTT or any BIOS, I have to run 1:1 =/

Both yellow and orange work w/ hellfire BIOS for me though. BH5 doesnt really clock higher with looser timings, just with more voltage. -2 or hellfire both good, its based off -2.

[magikempire]

i use 5v jumper but see my pm reply on ABXzone for more details heh

Could you link to the pm you are referring to?

Thanks!
Magik

P.S. Your settings are really helping me get to my goal of 255FSB for my 3700+ SD. This RAM is great but I am having a helluva time getting it stable.

Update:

Right now I am burning in with at 245 MHz and 3.2V, 2x512 in DC with:
2-2-2-6-1T-07-14-2-3-1-2-3120-A-E-A-000-5-2-7-F-5.0-016-D-16x-7x-D

I did an hour of test 5, then half an hour of test 8, looped std tests for 3 lops, and back looping test 5. It has been running for about 5 hours no errors yet. Once done, i will get some screanies and 32M runs.

I was testing each stick separately 2 days ago, and one of the sticks did 250 with 3.2, the other one had trouble getting to 250, but did 245 (both Memtest86 and P95 stable). My target is 252-255 with as little voltage as possible.

[ninja_xxx]

this ram hates me...i keep get'n errors in test #7...what does that mean
i tried everyones time'ns here non of worked for me.. right now i'm running them at stock 2.6v 2.5-3-3-7
