p3rfect Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 I just wish I could get stable @ 250FSB 1:1 - surely that's not impossible! I will be happy then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSticky Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 My OCZ is also cas 2.5, I have the 4200 and its only gurateed to do 250 on 1:1, Um, no. OCZ PC4200 EL (their only 2.5cas pc4200) will definitely do 267@1:1. I've done it on 4 motherboards. In fact, I use it as my "baseline". If the OCZ works and the other RAM doesn't, the other RAM is garbage. If the OCZ doesn't work, the CPU is garbage or the cooling/voltage is insufficient. That OCZ PC4200 EL is the best RAM on earth as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3rfect Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) So why can't my RAM (OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 / 500MHz / Gold Edition) hit 250 @ 1:1? I don't understand & I'm confused! - what is holding me back?? My CPU? Edited May 12, 2004 by p3rfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanATIc205 Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 did you make sure you set the cas latencys yourself. when i first got this kingston pc4000 it wouldnt do 250 but i found the auto detect SPD rom was setting the ram to cas3 -3-3-8 when it should of been cas3- 4-4-8. if you think your ram is bad rma it to ocz for a newset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3rfect Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) I've tried it on all kinds of settings, it's back on auto for now... and is running at 2.5, 4,4,8 performance mode disabled. I set VDIMM to the highest it will go - 2.8 i think. What settings should I try, would be the most stable? *EDIT* I ran Memtest+ a few times @ 250FSB: Auto VDIMM By SPD = thousands of errors after 5 minutes. 2.5,4,4,8,8,auto,auto,auto = thousands of errors after 5 minutes. 2.5,4,4,7,8,auto,auto,auto = thousands of errors after 5 minutes. 2.85 VDIM 2.5,4,4,5,8,auto,auto,auto = Ran for 30 minutes / 4 passes until I restarted. What do you make of that. Isn't OCZ gaurenteed to run at 250 1:1 2.5,4,4,7 at stock voltage?? Edited May 12, 2004 by p3rfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripe Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Okay, so if I'm in the process of OCing my barton, and it's getting a little unstable, will loosening the memory timings (making the numbers bigger?) give me more stability? And then, is that stability interchangeable for vcore stability? I'm at the most vcore i can get without modding my board, so i think i need to loosen my timings to get higher than the 185 i'm on at the mo.
