Lumbermatt Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Hello, I've some problems with my new G-Skill GBLA PC4800 sticks and my nF3 Ultra mobo. My sticks are G-Skill 2x512 GBLA PC4800 TCCD 437. I can't get it running stable with an HTT > 260, but my CPU was stable at 275x10 with my former RAM sticks. To get it work at 260, I have to increase vmem to 2.9V. I've tried with to default timmings (2.5-4-4-8) and other timmings like 3-6-6-12, nothing helps. I run the sticks on the yellow slots as read it in the sticky topic. I would be very happy about any suggestions. Thanks a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supratech Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Use the CRC 2T timming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbermatt Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Use the CRC 2T timming I've tested the 2T timming, it don't work better :confused: Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumbermatt Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Does anybody have this RAM or TCCD runing on this mobo ? If yes, could you post me your BIOS ram settings ? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest silky Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I am running LA on my nF3 Ultra-D at 300mhz but I am out of town and can't provide the settings for you until Thursday. I got the settings from Old Guy, so you might want to PM him and I am sure he will help you out. You should also try out this bios http://www.dfi.com.tw/Support/Download/bio..._FLAG=B&SITE=NA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonEyez_NL Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I'm running with an Opteron 146 and 2 sticks of 512MB OCZ PC4800 Platinum Elite Edition (TCCD) Seems to me that the most influential settings for running a high HTT and 2 sticks of 512MB are the 1T/2T settings and Read Preamble and Max Async latency. For Opterons with high HTT i set Read Preamble to 7ns and Max Async to 9ns, and offcourse 2T for a HTT of 260 and above. Also i set vdimm to 2.8v (gives 2.9v) My sticks are rated 2.8v for 300MHz 2.5-4-4-8 These are my setting for 10x300 @ 2T bios C19 Orange slots vchipset 2.8 vdimm 2.8v Max Memclock 200MHz 1T/2T Memory Timing 2T Tcl 2.5 Trcd 4 Tras 8 Trp 4 Twr 2 Trrd 2 Trfc 16 Trc 12 Twtr 2 Trwt 4 Tref auto Twcl 1 Max Async latency 8ns Read Preamble 6ns Dynamic Idle cycle counter 64 DDR output driving weak DDR DQ Drive strength 50% reduction Bank Interleave enabled 2-way These are my setting for 9x325 @ 1T bios C19 Orange slots vchipset 2.8 vdimm 2.8v Max Memclock 166MHz using 6:5 divider 1T/2T Memory Timing 2T Tcl 2.5 Trcd 3 Tras 7 Trp 3 Twr 2 Trrd 2 Trfc 16 Trc 12 Twtr 2 Trwt 4 Tref auto Twcl 1 Max Async latency 9ns Read Preamble 7ns Dynamic Idle cycle counter 128 DDR output driving weak DDR DQ Drive strength 50% reduction Bank Interleave enabled 2-way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawasaki 1 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Hey Lumbermatt, I'm running this memory on a NF4 sli-dr. Don't know how much help I can be but here are my settings. I am running 4x512 but my setup has same timings with 1gb or 2gb in it. I would go for the orange slots and try these settings: Orange slots vchipset 2.8 vdimm 2.8-9v 200 1/01 1T/2T Memory Timing 2T Tcl 2.5 Trcd 4 Tras 8 Trp 4 Twr 2 Trrd 2 Trfc auto Trc 7 Twtr 2 Trwt 3 Tref auto Twcl auto Bank Interleave enabled 2-way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonEyez_NL Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Hey Lumbermatt, I'm running this memory on a NF4 sli-dr.thing is, that your NF4 board is far more stable and compatible than this nF3 mobo. The nF3 Ultra-D can be very quirky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Lar Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I had the same problem so to speak with my G.Skill PC3200 FX chips. I could run those no sweat at 280 1:1, on a Neo2, or my Gigabyte K8Ns. It will run the ram at 280 on my DFI, however at boot, I lost my floppy drive/go figure. I tried 705 Bios,( of which for me is the most stable), as well as 711/824/C19. As soon as I took the TCCD out, my floppy magically reappeared. Also of note, I did try in both the orange and yellow slots, no change there, as well as tried different voltages. Here are the settings I ran the TCCD on with the DFI; tcl; 2.5 trc; 11 trfc; 14 trcd; 3 trrd; 2 tras; 5 trp; 3 twr; 3 twtr; 2 trtw; 3 tref; 200mhz 3.9us twcl; 1 Read/Write Q Bypass; 8x Controller Mode 128 bit ECC Mode Disable 2T Timing Disable Bypass Max 4x Max Async Latency 7Ns Read Preamble 5.5Ns Idle Cycle limit 16 Dynamic Idle Cycle Counter Enable MEMCLK Frequency 200 Drive Strength Normal 32 Byte Grnaularity Disable A few of the settings were default of the board/bios/s, however it did pass memtest tests 5 and 8 at 280htt.. go figure. Hope this helps. Larry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbermatt Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Okay, with a lot of experiments I got a 290 HTT "relative" stable. I'm exhausted, I just ended to write down all timings, I'm going to test them out tomorrow. Thanks a lot, i will post some updates on this topic.
