A friend of mine has just killed 2x512MB of redline PC4000. Them first were doing thousand of errors at 250 2-2-2 3'2V (the first week they ran ok at that speed/voltage), but no now it is doing errors with no stop.. and sometimes it doesn't boot, so...
PD: DFI SLID at 5V rail.

I had the same problem with my previous set. Did his mem die after changing the jumper or wile the system was running ?Originally Posted by krampak

What are the rest of his timings?
I thought I had a dead stick of TwinMOS UTT and hadn't messed with it for a couple of weeks. This weekend I was messing around and wanted to see if it could run at all. Turns out it runs fine at stock settings, and runs 2-2-2-6 perfectly fine at 3.2v. The problems come up when running very tight on the "secondary" timings. Even running low speeds and loose alpha timings with tight secondary would give errors. I think Tref is the main issue for me as some of the settings on Auto are faster than what I set them to.
It runs 240MHz 2-2-2-6-1t perfectly fine. It may run higher MHz still but don't want to push my luck too much. Running 2t now because I'm using 4x512.Sure my benchmarks aren't quite as high but that extra GB cuts a lot of time off of load times. I guess I'm just not extreme anymore.....
One thing that is really strange is that I can't boot at all with 2 sticks in yellow without the 5v jumper set. Once I put the 5v jumper on it boots fine every time. I haven't tested with the orange yet.
Ran 3.6 for over a mounth no problems...have you been changing you bios when you switched ram? and also corectly changed the jumper?

@tictac : i allready do the routine , inclucing removing PSU power chord, Vga connector,.. still killed my ram.
While the system was runningDid his mem die after changing the jumper or wile the system was running ?And he was using the 510-2 bios (jumper set to 5V for 7 days).
The rest of the timings are the "usually" ones I guess, 2-2-2-7, trfc 13, and the rest at 2 or 1.

Funny thing is almost no one with blue mushkin have this posting problem.
As my board "NF4 SLi-D" is arriving very soon. Need to know if bios "510-X" safe for "Twinmos Winbond CH-5/ Corsair Winbond BH-X" based RAM with 3.2V+?? I was looking forward for FUN, but now the state looks like "HOLD". Any suggestions for stable & safe bios so far??
I afraid not....at least my TMSP pc3500 went dead w 0510-2
dead w 3.0v only....

dfi used to have bios problems on the earlier socket a boards. Now the nf4 boards are killing ram. I have a 754 socket nf3 and I had to flash a couple different bios's to get rid of cold boot problem. yeah they overclock like hell but I personally wont be upgrading to a nf4 board by them
I started having cold boot problems with 310 bios. So I don't think it is a specific bios causing it. ('course I could be wrong). I switched to utttest.bin for bigtoe's testing... Now my system cannot boot with the single stick.
Running single stick at the moment.

You're right OzSnoal... all current BIOS have the cold boot problem
Cold boot prob? Is that cause of a certain ram? Cause i've never had a boot prob ever.

Explains the 'Cold Boot Issue'.
Scoot
How to resolve the coldboot= Flash your bios,shutdown system,clear Cmos,turn around 4 times in your chair,blow on your ram 2 times,take your ram out for two days,put it back in,snap your fingers while singing,and push power(but make sure your still singing)and BAM,you should have power!!! If not shutdown system for 72 hours and try again.I purchased the DFI NF3 a week ago,and have had nothing but problems as well
Yeah sure eva, according to this http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...5&postcount=90 you have only had the DFI NF4 for less than 4 months... Thats a 50% error... hope you don't overstate your overclocks by the same margin.
Nice first postYeah sure eva, according to this http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...5&postcount=90 you have only had the DFI NF4 for less than 4 months... Thats a 50% error... hope you don't overstate your overclocks by the same margin.
@eva, your ram probly have 2-3-2 spd, thus it can post with 2.6V when bios initialize.

It looks like i'm going back to my old 414-2 bios. I had my twinmos running on that one. And they are still running. My reds where on 510-2 and killed within a weekNice first post
@eva, your ram probly have 2-3-2 spd, thus it can post with 2.6V when bios initialize.. Next time i'm buying a abit again. With a booster or i'll do a direct 3.3v mod.
But no more DFI for me. Same with the infinity. did 250 fsb no prob but had tons off problems. I realy love the NF7-S mainboards best S-A mainboard ever.
