Thanks Icon.

 

I found your settings in another thread, so I jotted them down and I'll use them as a starting point.

 

Memory should be here early next week.

 

no prob man....seems like many of us are really working on coming up with some different combo's of timings.....

 

i will say one thing...these suckers are tricky.....

 

and i am not sure about others....but i am finding these chip DO NOT like voltage.

 

someome linked a review on vrzone that came out in dec 05, and they used up to 3.0 volts.....i tried mine at 2.96v and i couldnt boot

 

backed it down to current voltage 2.62 and booted right up

I plan on starting mine out at about 2.53v and going from there. Naddie has a good thread going here at the Street on these HZ sticks. I've also found a few threads over at ExtremeForums, but their server has been down the last two days.

ah, all my overclocking kind of corrupted my windows. i did a repair via recovery console and now some of my apps are messed up. i think i might have it stable @ 270 MHz now. gonna run some SuperPI and Prime95 testing to see if its really stable. i'll post my results tomorrow.

 

grr....SuperPI 1M passed, but 32M failed right away :mad:

 

Prime95 failes right away too. ROAR!!!

 

gonna do down to 265 i guess :(

Icon, so you've got them up to 528mhz effective? That's awesome!

 

Same timings that you had previously posted?

 

yes, same settings as posted, so far i am happy, if i could get them to run 1:1 i would like it better... :nod:
