Sharp Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Hello, Yes UCCC. Your memory timings depend on the frequency at which you run the memory at. 250Mhz = 3-4-3-8. Anything over 250Mhz may = 3-4-4-8. The Mushkin PC4000 2x1GB kit with 3-3-2-8 timings is another good kit. Should be able to get to around 280Mhz with 3-3-2-8. And then there are the BallistiX modules, some will do 300Mhz@3-3-3-8 Buy directly from Crucial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ target Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 hello Sharp, I got my computer up and running but with one minor setback : the optical drive was not working so it threw me off a bit. But i fixed and everything is running fine now. I want to express my thanks to everyone, especially to angry games and Rgone for setting up a forum like this (great support!) It helped in making my decision of what kind of motherboard to buy- I bought an Ultra D (I am really pleased with it). I kno that some people had problems with this mobo but I love it. I don't mind tinkering with it. I settled for the OCZ rev.2 1GB instead of the one you recommended because of all the hassle involved from buying in the US. I got the timing down to 2-2-2-5. It's fast. I found these numbers near the battery: 49LF004B 33-4C-NHE 0517107-C Do the above numbers have anything to do with the BIOS? And also, how do I know what kind of BIOS I have? (I have some results on oc, but I'm not sure where to post it. Could you please direct me? thanks ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caebron Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 After doing a lil research on 2x1GB kits I've narrowed my choices for decent PC3200 down to these three: Mushkin High Performance gigaram mach1000 OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K Considering I've hit a wall at 11x240 (2640) and that my current 2x512 Corsair (PC3200) performs very well at this speed with low stock latencies (see sig), I don't really see the point of getting PC4000 that has high latencies. On the other hand it's gonna be 2x1GB this time, so I'm not really sure if a PC3200 2x1GB will oc as well as PC3200 2x512MB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Caebron Most PC3200 2x1GB kits will not OC well so getting a PC4000 would be a better choice. But this one OC well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231032 And this one is guaranteed to run at 250Mhz. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231021 Both kits are cheaper than the ones you linked to. EZ target Nice to hear your PC is ok. Post your OCing results/questions in the AMD overclocking section. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9 Maybe create a thread, EZ's OC diary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ target Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 ilove mecha, Sorry. I don't play halo. I only have call of duty 1 and 2 and bf2. Forgive me for being a big noobie, but I don't know how to get a frame per second on the games. Are there any programs for getting the fms? thanks. Appreciate any helpful hints. SHarp, Once again, a heartfelt thanks for your reply. When I organize my results, I will post it in the AMD overclocking section.

SoyoJoe Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 just incase anyone was interested after i rma'ed the DOA gskill pc4000 2gb kit i purchased the OCZ pc4000gx xtc 2gb kit. The most i have been able to squeeze out of them is 268 @3-4-4-7 w/2.7v Kinda dissapointing as i was trying to hit 270 @3-4-3-7, however i dont think thats goin to happen. Oh well looks like from what others say i should have gone with the mushkin pc4000 2gb kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caebron Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 After doing some more research I've decided on Corsair's Twinx2048-3500LLPRO. According to this review one should be able to run these at 2.5-3-2-5 1T @ 260HTT on DFI Lanparty boards with a lil bit of tweaking. Even without tweaking, 260MHz 3.0-4-3-8 1T seem the best timings I've seen for 2x1GB kits and HTT used I've seen so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddie Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I'm trying my luck with the G.SKILL linked by Sharp here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231021 Though guaranteed at 250MHz, I also hope to hit as high as 270 MHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
