I think I got me a lucky stick of Geil PC3200...

[xst3althx]

Well before the started changing the timmings on the Geil Value RAM I bought some about a year ago. PC3200 2.5-3-3-6. Well tonight is the first time I really got down and pushed it. With no mods done to my Abit NF7-S v2.0 I could hit 220mhz semi-stable with 2.9v. Well tonight I took the plunge and did the dirty punk Vdimm mod for a nice 3.4v on the mem. Well here Iam now posting this @ 235mhz FSB stable I could post @ 240 but would just reset while booting into windows. I think my chipset voltage is holding me back @ only 1.7v.

Now for the screenies..

Nice work man...keep it up but it is no match for what I will be able to with my 64-bit after I get some new memory...or lets see what we can do with that memory on my DFI

And that is my god damn Barton your using! LMAO!

So don't kill it lol j/k

xst3althx welcome to XS

[ugp]

As you can see he doesn't post much lol
We need to get him posting and to share his knowledge!!!

I had a stick of geil 3500 that's probably 2 years old, the stuff runs 2-2-2 @ 240 fsb stable.

[ugp]

I just want some really nice RAM that will overclock well and be stable. That is all I ask for.

[ugp]

Guys we have a 3500part coming soon (I hope) that is VERY similar to 3500EB and does clock quite well to 500 or so, it also does cas2 where EB was tuned for cas2.5...this may be worth waiting for and as soon as I can i will test and post results.

Accoring to bigtoe there is some really nice CL 2.0 PC3500 coming out soon and I am waiting to see the results of the RAM and how it does.

yeah, newegg has GEIL ULTRA PC3200 256mB in stock (refurb'd) for $52/stick, lol it's 2-3-3-6 BH-6 rebadged by GEIL!!!! I had some and stripped the paint off the chips (don't do it)

[xst3althx]

Hmm.... so this means that I could have some BH-6 here?

how great it is! my geil value pc3200 could do at most 215MHz stable I think...
however the max vdimm is 2.8V here...

hey man it seems you are lucky at buying ram... aren't you??

[xst3althx]

This stick is also a single stick of 256 seems like the best $38 spent :p Tonight though when I get home form work im gonna do the Vdd pencil mod and see if I cant get anymore outa it.

[maxx-p]

my geil value rams are capable of doing 2-2-2 at 200MHz and more, they are pretty good...
i will tweak them a bit and post pics if my system's up and running again...

[ugp]

From what I hear though GEIL makes some pretty good RAM but I am still going to wait and see what the new OCZ does.

[maxx-p]

But i heard also alot negative comments about geil... but i cant complain about performance

[Namtaru]

i've bought 3 sticks of the stuff so far, and every stick i've ever bought could do 2-2-2-11 @ 200fsb 1:1 on 2.8 volts

[dav]

oh! i am going to try mine at 2-2-2 @ 200..
if it's fine.. I would give up running 2.5-3-3 @ 212....

[xst3althx]

Im not complaining @ all about the performance it always has done well on my NF7. Ive tried some CH-5 in here before and this thing dosen't like it at all.

/me needs a stick of BH-5

[dav]

oops my geil could only do 2.5-3-3-5... any lower would not boot...

time to think about ballistix.

[ugp]

Is that memory any good?

[dav]

Is that memory any good?

which memory are you referring to?

[xst3althx]

I think he is refering to the Ballistix.

[ugp]

That would be correct!

[dav]

yeah they overclock not well but hell!

[ugp]

Hey check out this thread...it might help you in getting higher clocks man...
