Tony420 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Got my tracer :cat: Put voltage to 2.6 and all dram timings to auto then went to my planned destination :angel: [bIMG]http://home.comcast.net/~goodgamer/273x11-auto.JPG[/bIMG] Now the question, which dual prime test should I run to make sure i'm 100%? Small/Large/Blend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 run the custom and only change the memory allocation for each core (look in the top stickies). It will run 8k to 4096k tests for 15m at a time i think...it really stresses these babies out (but heat is not an issue with me and especially not for you!)

Angry_Games Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 btw, here is my Winchester 3200+ 2x1024 overclock...the winnie's mem controller sucks pretty bad, but 220x10 is decent enough i suppose...no dividers will work with 2x1024 on a winnie for me http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...29&postcount=23 I have the same memory on my X2 4400+ cranking out F@H work units...I've already done all the DB screenshots i just have not had time to enter them yet, but I will soon!

Tony420 Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 My fan around my PWMIC area was off somehow so the temps got a LOT higher in the pwmic area (should be around 35c) so this brought up my CPU temps around 2-3C on avg. Im going to do a 20h+ run somtime with the temps fixed so it looks pretty :angel: [bIMG]http://home.comcast.net/~goodgamer/273x11-10h.JPG[/bIMG] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony420 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 ehh you could only get your ballistix 3fsb past 250???????????????????????? That review does zero justice to those sticks, considering every pair of tracer/ballstix ive seen does 270+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaluska Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 ehh you could only get your ballistix 3fsb past 250???????????????????????? That review does zero justice to those sticks, considering every pair of tracer/ballstix ive seen does 270+ The settings were identical for each memory stick as I reloaded each time for each pair. The test consistented of me manually setting the few timings with auto to the rest. I even tested each memory stick individually and with auto at all settings (even looser timings). I tested that pair of memory more than the rest and the results were always the same. I was as surprised as you were at their poor performance, it was like they hit a brick wall at 250 MHz. I didn't try manipulating every single parameter that the DFI has to offer, but I don't think an end user should have to do a lot of manipulation to get it to run at stock speeds. I don't think it is outside the relm of possiblity that I just got a bad pair of memory, or there is a parameter that Crucial disliked but the other memory sticks were just fine.

vega27 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 did u happen to notice what kind of chips it used? 5B-D is what the 1GB sticks have been using. wonder if yours used something different... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chz Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Dont understand how you could only get 250mhz from em. Doubt the sticks are to blame, but the tester. *cough* http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...62&page=1&pp=25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt the sticks are to blame, but the tester.*cough* http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...62&page=1&pp=25 how nice of you to assume that. this guy went through a lot of trouble and bothered to share his findings with us. though you definitely don't have to agree 100% with him, it's not very polite to say he doesn't know what he's doing. it's not very difficult to OC them IF they can do it. re-edit: nevermind, i'm confused. anyway, ballastix are only binned to run stable at FSB250. they are not guaranteed to run higher. maybe he got some crucial value in ballistix clothing?!
