prodigy_ Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Yesterday Memtest+ showed me about 20-21 errors per pass (test 5) at 237 Mhz. Now I've done 40 passes of test 5 already w/o any errors. The only thing that changed is that I (accidentally) switched sticks around. But they're still in orange slots. I'm using the same BIOS 623-3. (VDimm=3.2V, HTT 290x9 and I didn't touch DRAM settings at all). And ambient temps are higher today. --- Is this possible at all? What do you think?

chz Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 BH-5.. could have been because of the burn-in and not the different slots. Intresting theory tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy_ Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Actually yes I'm gonna make some burn-in with these sticks later tomorrow. But yesterday it was only like 2 hours which is IMHO not enough for such improvement. (Ppl on our local forums suggested 24 hours at least...) [Edit - update] That's something awesome. Now doing 245 Mhz (HTT 300x9, 166 divider) at 3.2V. Still no errors. Don't know what to think about it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loc.o Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Its a common thing and actually recommended by OCZ when troubleshooting. Good change same goes for your ram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Yep thats right. I find my old OCZ PC3500EL BH-5 works best if i have each stick in its own specific slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy_ Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Mine are Kingston's but still this seems to work. 5 hours - 400 passes - 0 errors. Previously they gave me thousands of errors @245 and some errors even @233. I'll test with Prime95/Blend now to be absolutely sure... --- [Edit - update] 245 Mhz seems to be the highest memtest stable clock. Prime/Blend fails very soon (Prime/LargeFFTs doesn't so that's certainly memory related). @241 - Prime/Blend stable. @247 - 2-4 errors in Memtest+ per pass of test 5. I'll flash some -2 BIOS and try yellow slots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
