Well, you've got some nice parts to play with!

 

I'd suggest some reading for you first of all - THunDA's O/C guide will be very helpful explaining how to find out what your maxes are. It'll take some work on your part, but a truly successful O/C isn't "instant gratification"! Here's a link;

thoe redline mushkin are such a bad babies, my friend has them and I oc his memories 310x9 1:1, but one thing those mushking really ask for volts they love it, 3.4 /3.6, to get those 310 mhz with a huge 120 fan blowing right over them

Your memory is guaranteed to work DDR500 with 2-2-2-6 timings and with 3,3V - 3,5V of voltage.

 

There's good bunch of bioses made for DFI NF4 boards, TechPowerUp has nice collection of them. I'd recommend you to pick up 623-2 bios for your board.

 

Maximum clock speed of your CPU is something you have to try by yourself and we can't say for sure how much you can overclock it.

 

Then the memory timings you need to set manually from BIOS:

DRAM Clock: 200 (1:1)

CPC: Enable

Tcl: 2.0

Trcd: 2

Tras: 6

Trp: 2

Trc: 7

Trfc: 15

Trrd: 2

Twr: 2

Twtr: 2

Trtw: 2

Tref: 1168

Twcl: 1

 

Other timings can be left to "AUTO" value at this point.

Test out your system is fully stable with following timings, and if it is, you can try to get even more out of your Reddies by trying to tighten following timings

 

Trrd: 2 -> 1 (or even 0)

Twtr: 2 -> 1

Trtw: 2 -> 1

Nice to see a Mushkin presence here. Welcome.

Thank you

 

Angry_Games, do you mind if I put some text on my signature about my status on Mushkin? If it happens that they encounter some prolems with any of our products or they happen to need an overclocking advices, so people knows where to ask it.

Very cool (and I apologize for intruding with OT comments on this thread.)

 

A factory rep being present would be a factor in my consideration of any future purchases. Granted I am not looking at the moment, but it would make a difference if I were.

 

The Crucial guy has a small crucial labs logo and I don't think the OCZ guys run anything but OCZ in their names.

Hi Zebbo

 

Vortexics claim of 310 for UTT is very impressive but are these 'special' modules as I have not seen these do more than 270 with 'v.good' ones 275 but @ 3.8v and the average really seems to be around 260-265.

 

What Mushkin Redline UTT can do 310 at the low timings suggested and where can one source these

Yes, infact I want to be sure Angry_Games has nothing against it before I add anything. Or if he wants any proof for my words, he can email to [email protected]

 

I don't think this is so much of an offtopic discussion since the guy one made this thread took me contact via MSN and I helped him out.

Hi,

 

Mushkin does not have anykind of special versions out of the Redline -series. Since overclocking is very unpredictable and there's many factors involved considering your last stable overclock you can achieve.

 

Still, I don't know about this 310MHz, so can you please give me somekind of source where did you pick up info like that?

 

What comes to average Redline overclocking, most of the modules can be clocked over 260MHz and with good ones you can possibly attain 270MHz or just a bit over that 270MHz. So from my reading, they usually do overclock somewhere from 260MHz to 270MHz.

ya i think there is some exageration there.....i have never seen any redlines in the 300 range....

 

hell i dont think i've seen any over 270....most are in the 260s.....
