* Corsair not so bad after all *

Sir Skully · 06-16-2005, 06:04 PM

I fell in and came out smelling like a rose!

My 1gig of Crsair 3200XLPT I was trying to sell for like $140. No one bought them! They would not play nice in my DFI nf4-d mobo. Well it turns out I wasn't using the right bios. I flashed the 510-3 bios yesterday, thought I'd give the Corsair a try. Set the bios for 10x290 and she fired right into windows, done a Sisoft, superpi, and she's holding so far. Tried 300mhz and can get into windows, but unstable maybe some tweaking. I have removed the 3200XLPT from sale, needless to say. Corsair say's these memories have TCCD chips, maybe so. I can also get 222-5 up to about 235mhz, the 290-300nhz @ 2.533-8.

damn, i JUST sold mine, lucky for me i got what i paid for them

Sir Skully · 06-16-2005, 11:02 PM

Yeah my Corsair really surprised me!

I'm now running 10x295, I can't seem to lock in300mhz.

John64 · 06-16-2005, 11:03 PM

i am good friends with the guy who bought it, so i am going to try it out again when he is here next time. i think i am getting the 2gigs for sure though

I hear ya! You may need to flash to the 510-3 bios to see a good oc with the Corsair. I've never had a use for 2 gig.

Out of curiosity what are the timings for your memory.

Here's my memory settings for the 510-3 bios:
Enable
2.5
3
10
3
7
16

3
3684
auto
enable
increase skew
0
8

7
normal
5.5
enable
16x
07x
disable

By the by I'm posting this @ 9/10x300mhz. I haven't been able to get stable @ 1:1x300. I can get stable @ 1:1X295, with 10 multiplier, nice!

ATINUT · 06-17-2005, 04:57 PM

Hmm, I've never seen memory before that can run with timings like that. That must some really good overclocking memory.

Yeah it surprised me, I didn't know untill I flashed to the 510-3 bios.

cmay119 · 06-24-2005, 07:03 PM

Sir Skully, have you tried bumping the DRAM Voltage a little bit to see if you can get stable @ 300 MHz? You could also try loosening your timings a tad, since it seems like you have quite a bit of headroom in the timings area with that memory.

Sir Skully · 06-24-2005, 07:55 PM

Yeah I've done all those things! 344-10 timings & 3.2v I can get 314mhz but not really stable. Maybe some more playing with the timings to get stable @ 300mhz.

Sir Skully · 07-05-2005, 03:30 PM

My 1gig of Corsair 3200XLPT run Samsung TCCD 437 chips. I run them stable @ 266mhz @ 1:1 2926mhz on my 3700 SD, timings 233-10, multiplier 11.

good to hear, which bios are you using now?

i just got my 4400c25's today, hoping for good things with them.

Sir Skully · 07-05-2005, 04:15 PM

I'm using n4d704-2 bios seems to work well. I tried 704-3 it was a no go. Another good one is 618-3. I hope you get some good oc'ing #'s with your new Corsair.

will try the 618-3 when i get my board tomorrow
