IVIYTH0S Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 9GB/s on Intel + DDR2 is pretty good. If it locks as soon as you decrease any timing then that's the best you'll get. Can you get any more MHz out of them? I'll have to start fooling around with this once I get home. Can you change voltages/primary timings with this or will I have to set those from the bios before I boot??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I didn't try those sticks yet, except from running them at stock. Thanks for sharing your results with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Can you change voltages/primary timings with this or will I have to set those from the bios before I boot??? You can change every timing, but not voltage, what I did is find my max frequency at 5-5-5-15 with 2.1/2.2V, then find lowest main timings, 5-5-4-14 then play with sub timings Takes some time, but definitely worth it for benching Edited October 12, 2008 by Zertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zertz Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Just for benching, SuperPi likes tight timings for exemple! Otherwise, it's not noticeable in games and real apps Edited October 12, 2008 by Zertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocmooz Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 9GB/s on Intel + DDR2 is pretty good. If it locks as soon as you decrease any timing then that's the best you'll get. Can you get any more MHz out of them? The limit MHz-wise seems to be 1150, but this is as close as I can get with the multipliers afforded me at this high of a bus. I tried throwing looser timings, voltage, etc. at them but they won't post at 1151 or higher. Oh well maybe next build will have some ddr3 instead.

Mokbul Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, the system will lock/restart sometimes tongue.gif Just don't use the save feature if you're not sure whether it'll work or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I finally tested my RAM sticks. :thumbs-up: So far this is the best stable frequency I can get from them: I booted into Windows at 1149MHz, but they were not stable at all. Next part is to reduce timings and voltage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Just remember that just because it doesn't lock up/restart instantly doesn't mean it's stable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I'm using Mestest86+ I was under the impression you couldn't run memtest with the subtimings at the settings you set in Windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
