8RDA owners - which memory slots work best?

[BrainStorm]

I only have one stick of ram to test with right now, but DIMM slots 1 and 3 seem to be able to take my ram higher than DIMM slot 2 (200 fsb for 1 & 3 vs. 195 for 2). Anyone else tested this? And if you can get 200 out of two DIMM slots separately, can you still get 200 when they're both populated?

Odd, because I can get better FSB with DIMM2, the one closest to CPU socket. It's a significant difference in FSB too, not like 3 or 4 mhz.

Crap, I just looked and I was mistaken about the DIMM numbers!

It's 1 and 2 that do better for me, 3 is the laggard!

Bushboy, if not 3-4 mhz, how much?

Guys, its labelled DIMM0 -> 2 (right to left).

DIMM 2/1 will give much better results then 0

Bravo, it's not labelled like that on my board. On mine it goes 2 | 3 | 1 (left to right), or 1 | 3 | 2 (right to left)

However, DIMMS 2 and 3 are BANK 1 and DIMM 1 is BANK 0.

I use the outer ones in dual channel. Haven't tested single channel.

Outer as in the furthest left slot and the furthest right slot, forgoing the middle slot? If so, that's DIMM 2 (left side) and DIMM 1 (right side).

Yup Yup Yup (2-3-1)

I get about a 10mhz difference for whatever reason, and also seem to be able to run at tighter timings. This was before I did the VDD mod though, but I haven't been bothered to try DIMM1.

I use DIMM 2 & DIMM 1, DIMM 3 is a looser (Not really just never tried it :smileysex)

A looser what? Looser fit?

Ykalon,

I think Radea was making a joke (and meant to say "loser", not "looser")
