Yeah, it's good. See results below. This is the quote from OCZ's Petersen:

"Due to the non-standard trace routing and termination resistance on the DIMM slots as well as drive strength settings in the bios, you may need to swap dram slots to provide error free results with winbond die based products."

Thanks!

You'd need a UV Cold Cathode or LED light shining on them.

Congrats on the fast time, I just want someone with an FX-55 to take the WR. I'm so ashamed that the record of 21s non-patched is held by an Intel CPU

Perhaps Ricky & Pedro or Tom Holck will do it in 21 secs. Holck is already at 22. All you need is a time of 21.999 to round down to 21 secs on the old version of SuperPi.

Supposedly it will be released April 15th. I say "supposedly" because the Venice chips were supposed to be released April 4th and they're still not available. I think it was the proverbial paper launch. Also, there are no FX-57 reviews yet. The reviewers usually get the chips before the public. Monarch Computer will likely have it before Newegg because Monarch is an AMD launch partner.

Got my Mushkin Blue today that is supposed to have old school BH-5. I was told by a Mushkin rep that if it is dark green pcb and says "Mushkin Enhanced" (instead of b6u815) it is BH-5.



Preliminary results look promising so far, $120 for a gig of this stuff is a steal. I will be tweaking and testing the next few days and will post my progress.

If it really is BH-5, you should be able to do at least 240 with that voltage. I would change tRAS to 5 or 6. 11 is more suited for NF2 & NF3.

These are the timings I use for my BH-5.

I tried tras 5 and 6 already, the RAM hated it for some reason

Thanks for the screenshot, will test some of your settings too.

240Mhz



Ran a sweep of SuperPI, passed. Passed 25 memtest - test 5 with 2 errors. I am thinking burning this stuff in tonight may fix that. What should I have drive strength at? Its on auto atm, I wasnt sure what it really did so did not touch it. Any suggestions to get rid of those 2 errors? Is it best to burn in RAM at high volts or low?

3.5v on the way. This RAM at 3.4v isn't even as warm as my TCCD at 2.8v to touch. Then again I haven't ran any games yet, just benches.
