blurb_me · 04-03-2001, 03:32 AM

someone told me that kingmax doesnt work properly on intel instead they are very solid performer on athlon.

how true is this fact???

Reality proofs. Don't waste on what is not 100% sure

And what is the setting on your system (OS, Hardwares, total memories, Single side/Double side), be specific. These influence all system stability & might not be working on other computers.

the kingmax i have does work,...erghh.

i'll just make it short.
i wish to run it @133,2-2-2,5-7 and of coz it does run. but when i ran sandra memory benchmark, the system hangs if i just have the kingmax128MB on. but if i include the apacer infineon along with the kingmax, it passes the benchmark without any problem.

Hey blurb_me, what is the default setting when you just put the SDRAM Timing to "by SPD" instead of "User Define" in the bios setting under Advance\Chip Configuration? You must run this at normal 133MHz without overclocking. This will actually inform you the factory pre-program SPD EEPROM of your SDRAM. Is the value 2-2-2 or 3-3-3 or any combination of those?

After knowing the standard value, try to run it at "by SPD" setting (with only the Kingmax offcourse) and 7-9 setting, Normal to know whether or not it can pass under Sandra benchmark.

i have tried it b4, and for anything lower than that, it passes without any problem at all.

since its fine alongside the infineon, im gonna let it run for a few more weeks b4 giving it another try.

thanks again for everyone.

The Kingmax PC150 does work on the CUSL2-C. I was only able to run it at 140fsb with 2/2/2 5/7 timmings. It would also work fine at 150fsb with 3/3/2 7/9 timmings.

I currently run 256MB Mushkin Rev3 on my CUSL2-C and it will run 150fsb 2/2/2 5/7 no problem. Mushkin rules on the CUSL2 MB.

I've also recently bought a new Athlon System (1.33Ghz with an ASUS A7V133 MB). The Mushkin does not work very well with this MB. I could run at 133fsb 2/2/2 no problem but the 4-way interleaving would not work. My system would lock up if I tried to enable it. I swapped the Kingmax and Mushkin. The Kingmax kicks *** in the Athlon system. I haven't tried overclocking much yet but I did try it at 140fsb (1.4Ghz CPU) at 2/2/2 with 4-way interleave enabled and it worked like a charm.

Not that I'm endorsing Athlon or Kingmax here, but the new system kicks my old ones ***!!! In all the testing I'm seen, the Kingmax will easily do 155fsb at 2/2/2 with the KT133a chipset. I just need some better cooling (planning on ordering a Swiftech 462 HS this weekend)

yeah, i just tested the kingmax again using 7-9 timing and i managed to get it stable at 160FSB. wooohooo
