OCZ PC4000 Pl. EB 2x1 Gb memory settings

Hi Guys

 

This post has altso been posted at...

But maybe some of you could post results, timings with this mobo...?

 

 

 

I Just ordered 2 x 1 Gig OCZ PC4000 Platinium Edetion EB ( 5002048EBPE-K )

 

My previus memory setup is with 2 x 512 mb OCZ PC33200 Platinium edetion rev. 2 ( TCCD ) with a DFI Lanparty SLI-D mobo ( Bios 704-2 BTA ) on a 4800+ X2 running at 2x 2,85 GHz 285 x 10 1:1

 

I don't expect to reach 285 1:1 with the new momory, but maybe somthing like 270-280

 

The timinges with my old memory are...

 

DRAM Frequency (Mhz)= 200

Command per clock (CPC)= Enable

CAS Latency control (TCL) =2.5

RAS# TO CAS# delay (TRCD)= 4

MinRAS# active time (TRAS)= 6

Row precharge time (TRP)= 3

Row cycle time (TRC)= 11

Row refresh cycle time (TRFC)= 16

Row to row delay (TRRD)= 3

Write recovery time (TWR)= 3

Write to read delay (TWTR)= 2

Read to write delay (TRWT)= 3

Refresh period (TREF)= 3120

DRAM bank enterleave= Enabled

 

 

DQS skew control= Auto

DQS skew value= 0

DRAM drive strength= Weak 4

DRAM data drive strength= Level 2

Max async latency= 8ns

DRAM responce time= Fast

Read preamble time= 6ns

Idlecycle limit= 256

Dynamic counter= Disabled

R/W Queue bypass= 16x

Bypass max= 07x

32 byte granalarity= Disabled

 

My quistions are...

 

What timings would you recomend for highest OC 270-280 x 10 1:1 ?

 

What timings for 260 x 11 1:1 ?

 

Thanks for the help

these are my settings, but my sticks are not good for overclocking, anything over say 258 and my monitor can start switching on and off uncontrollably

i have asked about this problem numerous times, but it seems to be an isolated one, and seems to be because of this memory

i have tested other memory above 260MHz and had no probs

Hi Pyr0

 

Doesn't sound too good, I hoped for a better OC than your modules reached.

 

Thanks for the screene, might be usefull.

 

Anybody that reached higher clocks?

The issue is with the ICs and not with the motherboards. Some earlier revisions of the PC4000EB were fairly successful OCers. The newer batches have been pretty lame as far as OC-ability goes.

My set only goes to 255 reliably - this is coming from my previous high of 296 with my old Ballistix PC4000. I have tweaked as much as I can stand with little to no gain in RAM speed. Oh well... at least the timings are ok.

Hmm...

 

Doesn't sound very good eigther, except the pat about the ok timings...

 

Would expect better OC from OCZ...

 

500 Us Dollars, and they dont clock good :eek2:

DFI NF4 UT SLI-DR R.AB0 1114-3 bios

 

2x 1GB OCZ PC4000EB Platinum dual channel 3-3-2-8 rated ram (these are very early beta samples from OCZ)

 

I've used same settings for this ram on 3x Opteron 170s, 3x Opteron 146, Opteron 148, FX-57 and now FX-60

 

max 32M = 282mhz 3-3-2-5

max 3d/game = 275-278mhz 3-3-2-5

 

vdimm = 2.64-2.69v

 

CPC = Enabled

CAS Latency(CL) = 3

RAS to CAS(Trcd) = 3

Min RAS# Active time(Tras) = 5

Row Precharge Time(Trp) = 2

Row Cycle Time(Trc) = 7 OR 8

Row Refresh Cycle Time(Trfc) = 14 upto 18

Row to Row Delay(Trrd) = 2

Write Recovery Time(Twr) = 2

Write to Read Delay(Twtr) = 2

Read to Write Delay(Trwt) = 3

Refresh Period (Tref) = 1552

Write CAS Latency(Twcl) = 1

DRAM Bank Interleave = Enabled

Skew = AUTO

Skew Value = 0

DRAM Drive Strength = Level 8

DRAM Data Drive Strength = Level 2

Max Async Latency = 7ns or 8ns

DDRAM Response Time = Normal or Fast

Read Preamble Time = 5ns or 5.5ns or 6ns

Idle Cycle Limit = 16

Dynamic Counter = Enabled

R/W Queue Bypass = 16x

Bypass Max = 7x

32 byte Granularity = Disable(8burst)

 

Early samples did 270-280mhz but more recent batches from Infineon reduced the max ocs to around 260-270mhz.

Exact same error with mine - roughly 258/259 and whamo - sceen blinks on and off, comes back with incomplete desktop etc. That is with different settings in the Bios, Memtest runs fine, Windows loads fine, just blinky blinky after that.........perplexing.
