Max limit on my 2x512 bh-5?

Recommended Posts

I got 2x512mb of KHX 3000, I took the spreaders off and got confirmation of BH-5's.

 

about a year ago I had them burnt in.

 

Only prolbem is I can't go CPC ON (1T) above 200mhz at 2-2-2-5/6/11 at any volt.

 

I was able to get them burnt in memtest5 up to 225 stable at 3.1V 2-2-2-5 CPC OFF.

 

Doing 3.3vmem doens't seem to give me any higher clocks

 

Shouldn't I be able to push my bh-5 higher like 220 CPC ON?

 

Note: using 1/31 bios on my dfi infinity.

Some boards will just refuse to run 2*512mb sticks with CPC on. IIRC, the average clock speed for Nforce2 chipsets with 2*512mb sticks with CPC on is about 225MHz. You could try some different BIOS' which might help. Also, how is you northbridge cooled and what northbridge/Vdd voltage have you tried?

I had my two sticks running @ 245 cpc off, gave me just a little bit better scores in everything. Try moving the sticks around to, for some reason I had to have mine in certain slots for them to oc better, even if I would switch the 2 I would get memtest and prime errors, just a thought...

this is your problem...use some of HELLFIRE's or TICTAC bios.

Guess I'll give this a try. Althought I dislike flashing this board, I refuse to buy a bios savior or spare bioses!

I was able to get 250Mhz with CPC on in the rig in my sig. I was using the Swiftech MCX-159 chipset cooler on the northbridge and I think I was using 1.8 volts though it may have been 1.7. It wasn't too long ago, but I recently upgraded to an nForce 3 Ultra board and 3000+ Winchester (using the same RAM). The new chip/motherboard can hit 260Mhz 1T stable :D
