markiemrboo Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 AH! I see Thanks for clearing up the RAM voltage thing! I did disable it. I've been playing with it on and off and I don't notice any difference, so I have no idea what it actually does. I'll leave it on normal though Only 2.7v though? Patriots specs rate it to 2.95v for it's maximum rated speed? I'll have to play around with it and see what works, what doesn't Doubt i'll do much at the weekend. Might go drive somewhere just because I can now Well.... just about! It'll be like, my first drive about totally on my own.. so if you don't hear from me for weeks I probably got lost somewhere lol. Yeah anyway, graphics card seems a bit slower but that could be because I was running at 2.4GHz last time and I am "only" at 2.1GHz so far. Or it might just be cause I need to format, but I can't be bothered formatting right now EDIT: confuzzed just got banned????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 lol naw they wouldnt ban me its just my member title its nice to know it works anywho i know but i run my PDP at 2.6v and it will do 280MHz 1:1 so you really dont need much voltage i know it sounds funny like right now i have my gskill TCCD at 290 1:1 2.5-4-3-8 timings with only 2.6v trust me you dont need much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Woah nice! What's the timings like on your PDP at 280 with only 2.6v? I'll try 2.6v in the morning and see how it does for me. Nice member title too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) on the pdp at 280 i was scoreing 7400 in bandwidth passed 14 hours of memtest 86 and the timings were 2.5-4-4-8 1T Edited March 4, 2005 by confuzzedintelguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Sounds good to me. I'll have to give that one a shot. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Only 2.7v though? Patriots specs rate it to 2.95v for it's maximum rated speed? I'll have to play around with it and see what works, what doesn't 434601[/snapback] good plan... my advice would be to use memtest loop 5 *only* (because it's hardcore) and try out 2.55v, 2.6v, 2.65v, and 2.7v... mine likes 2.6v the most... but also i think it died because it doesn't go above 220MHz anymore (maybe from giving it 2.85v which is supposed to overvolt to 2.95v)... and an RMA takes a month, and i don't have any spare ram boo hoo!

Nerm Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 The sweet volts for my ram seems to be 2.8v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first put it in it could loop test 5 fine (more than once, wasn't just a one off situation), but if it went from test 1 through to test 5 it would fail. I'll give it full passes It especially seems to like failing on test 8, so i'll probably give it a couple of loops of that before I go through a full loop. It won't go above 220MHz no matter what timings/voltage ?? You could always do what Greg does... go out and buy some brand spanky new RAM and either: sell it when you get your patriot back (if it's worse) sell the patriot (if the spanky ram is better) Just waiting for the hair to dry, so it doesn't dry all screwed up, then i'm gonna try out the 2.6v stuffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted March 5, 2005 Posted March 5, 2005 well my guess is you gots a bum winnie do me a favor put a divider on your ram and run the fsb up and test it if it works just fine you got a bum chip you could try and RMA it say its defaulty or something.
