Hay Pic's are much better at explaneing than I am

Good tip, Blue.

Thanks

Hope it helps some folks out.

Board just gets better and better. Loosened secondary timings a little. Also had good load temp (-51C) on the evaporator. KHX3200 @ 2-2-2-5. Can almost could do 3423MHz stable

Sierra_abx · 03-03-2005, 02:13 PM

Was using these timings. Everything set in BIOS. Just fired up the board this morning and started at 3355MHz, then gradually went higher.

Sierra_abx · 03-03-2005, 02:31 PM

Pifast at 3384MHz.

Wow, very nice Sierra.

Quick question, whats the max voltage I should be putting in my OCZ 3200EL without too much risk of killing it or the MB? I have it actively cooled.

To follow up on an earlier post I made, I gave up on memtest. I test RAM stability through SuperPI now since memtest was not giving any errors. Seems with windows loaded there is extra stress added or something.

Sierra_abx · 03-03-2005, 03:28 PM

Thanks. What voltage are you using now? 2.9v should be okay. Not sure how that would affect your warranty.

Eldonko · 03-03-2005, 03:48 PM

RAM is under warranty for 2.9v. I am using 2.9v now but have tried up to 3.1v stability testing. I'm not sure if they can tell what voltage was put into the RAM if I had a problem but I'm not really worried about warranty service. I just wanna squeeze as much out of this RAM as I can.

Sierra_abx · 03-03-2005, 03:51 PM

Well, if 3.1v isn't helping you, then you should start playing with the timings in the BIOS. 2.5-4-3-7 seems to work best with TCCD from what I've seen. Also play with the secondary timings.

I have been using 2.5-3-3-7 mainly, I didn’t really see any difference in stability using looser timings (tried 3-3-3-7, 3-4-4-10, etc). I set all the secondary timings to auto since I didn’t have a clue what they did. I found that 280Mhz was benchmark and memtest stable but not superPI stable. I was using 280x9, RAM 1:1 but did not get any different bandwidth than 252x10 plus it wasn’t fully stable anyway. I haven’t tried 2.5-4-3-7 yet, I will give it a try tonight. Is it a bad idea to try >3.1v?

My CPU is an older one, week 25 so it is kind of stubborn for OCing. It does 2520 @ 1.55v but I cant get 1 more FSB even when upping volts to 1.675v.

I have a 80mm fan over mine and at 3.0xv. I wouldn't go much over 3.1 on tccd, and it has to be somewhat recent vintage tccd to take any volts above like 2.9.

2.5-4-3-7-1T helps when you get around 300htt. More voltage may allow 2.5-3-3-7 but there isn't a huge gain there. Make sure your LDTx is 3X above 275-280.

Finally the board is getting a bit more stable for me... was able to bench 3DMark03... though ambient temps were 24C so my vapo temps were crappy hence the low OC but not a bad score for starters....
