why only x-3-x-x?

Hi,

so finally I finished my first a64-system (see signature) :nod: .

But I have really big problems with my ram to get them memtest-stable @ 2-2-2-x, even on fsb 200 and 3.2v in yellow slots.

On my old nf2-system :rolleyes: these modules were good for 2-2-2-11 @ 3.3v.

I´ve read the sticky about a64-overclocking, took me long time with my dictionary...

Tried various bios-versions without success :confused: .

The ram is cooled by a 90mm Papst cooler, so I don´t think it´s because of temperature.

Can you guys help me? (Please try to answer in a "simple" language)

Thanks!

Hi,

I flashed first via the mini-image to 5-10-2 fix (no idea why I got the "disk not ready" message). Then I flashed via winflash (I have no fdd) to the current bios. I´ve also read the sticky about bios-flashing :) .

The Levicom is a 20/24-pin-PSU, they use the same "option" like my OCZ.

At the moment the ram is stable @ 2-3-2-8 @ 3.2v @ 240.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I switched the modules and I´m now stable @ 241 @ 2-2-2-6 @ 3.2v :nod: .

I think for more fsb I need more juice or different settings in the bios. What kind of setting would you suggest for this kind of Ram? Don´t want to try the 4v option, heard strange details about it...

Thanks for your help :) .

try playing around with drive strength.. see which one gives u the least error.. then try data strength.. same thing

 

lower the mhz a bit.. probably too tight for 3.2v

 

and how is your 3.3v rail holding under load? it might be one of the problem as well if u're running 3.2v on the 3.3v rail
