G.Skill 2GBZX DDR400 2-3-2-5 Test

[Yegg]

the recent 2GBZX is not stable on Overclock, i recommend to buy 2GBHZ for now. but for DDR400 users, 2-3-2-5 2gbzx still is the best choice right?

2.65v is very good

and guy,if your 2gbzx is not oc well, post some pictures and someone will love to help, thx

How recently did the 2GBZX "turn unstable"? I bought mine early December.

i am not sure either!
might be the chip vendor gives lower binned IC to us that is what i think, cuz we NEVER EVER change 2GBZX's chip. it is the same model chip from 1st kit til now.

Aww

I just had big problems booting at stock speeds and voltages. I'm going to run memtest during the night to see if they are 100% stable at stock before I do any more testing.

Gah, I got a pair of these sticks last friday... everything worked just fine until today.
Hmpf, comp BSOD (mess, pfn_list_corrupt), reboot, same mess again and again and again....
Finally after about one hour of testing (with memtest, since I wasnt welcome into windows anymore boo :\) I found out that one stick is bad.

*lucky me*

something very strange is happening with me here!!

I just boot my computer with 3-3-2-5 at 245mhz MAX (using Venice 3200+ 1:1), using my opteron 146, i just boot with 3-3-3-5 in 245mhz but i can go to 265mhz using the same 3-3-3-5, run pi32mb, run prime95, but when i turn on some game, sometimes freeze the machine or just reboot.

SomeBody here has some tip to make my times better??

I bough my kit about 2 weeks ago in the uk mine will do 255 @ 2,3,2,5 2.7-8V they max out at 260 3,3,2,5 2.7-8V thats how recent my sticks are

wow, 2,3,2,5 @ 255 is impressive

mine do 240 @ 3,3,2,5 . Can't seem to get them a lot higher (245 @ 3,3,3,5 also works). Was hoping to get them to 250 - 255 but hey, still great for the price (althoug in belgium, they cost me 237 € !! )

when i ordered mine, the 4000's were not in stock but when i went to pick up my 3200-set, suddenly they were ... I took the risk and hopefully, with some more tweaking, i will get them @ 255 1:1 !

write the tweak config what you are using in dfi bios..

Guess if I feel stupid right now

I moved my sticks from the yellow slots to the orange ones, and now they boot at 255, 3-3-2-5

Now I just have to decide what divider to use, I guess the divider I use at the moment gives the highest clock speed (238 MHz, stable). Should I try to lower the timings?

the other´s times that you had was using the memory´s in yellow slots??
I alaways use orange here..

Yeah, I was quite impatient with getting the computer up and running, and I've never had a DFI board before, and it said dual-channel when the computer booted, so I thought they were in the right place.

My settings are here



using bios 623-3 or 2 2.7-2.8v orange slots

there is no way of this work here with my one!!
the max that i put was 230mhz 2.5-3-2-5



If i put more here, freeze my system!!

I dunno, I don't suppose it would have anything to do with your 1.232v vcore....

[XFxGeforced]

i just bought the 2gb zx kit early december, and ill be able to test it out on sunday (christmas) im siked! keep the results coming

[MadMikeSS]

Mine will do 250 3-3-2-5 @ 2.7v. My cpu isn't stable but I can sp32m, am3, 3dmark03/05 without problem so I know the ram is fine.

[Revv23]

well my zx ordered in mid december hit 260 3-3-2 32m stable on my 3800+X2... when i went for 265 the bios on my asrock corrupted....i boot up and its goes right into the bios's troubleshooting screen. so, this sucks basically, i need a new mobo, i hate not being able to set timings in bios anyways... so i guess its not all bad, i just cant afford a dfi right now


anyone know anything about hotflashing?

[Revv23]

hey odd stuff...

cmos clear didnt fix my bios issue, so i just let it sit because i figured bios was toast... i wait 5 hours, shut off the psu real quick, power it back up, and bam, posting.. wierdest part was that cmos didnt clear... lol

nice job, over 3ghz on under 1.5 vcore there should be a club for people with opterons who can pull this off

[engenheiro_ce]

I dunno, I don't suppose it would have anything to do with your 1.232v vcore....

But off course when I put more FSB, i increase the vcore..
My venice makes 2.7ghz with 1.36v~1.39v, to work in 2.3ghz, i don´t need more

I already test puting more vcore and try to increase the FSB with 2.5-3-2-5 times, but the limit is with this times is 230mhz

Hello to all of you experts here... Its my first post so be gentle :P

I like see big skors so i'll just post my results with my 2GBZX kit till now.
All skors shown are Windows memtest, PI and prime stable.

DIMM 1:


DIMM 2:


A64 tweaker settings same in both situations


So i guess i got a really paired match :P

If santa existed i'd really need him to get me a dimm to match my good one

What processor/socket are you running? I notice you are running single channel. Good results tho.

This is what my ZX can do:

For 260 i need 2,9v, going to test it later.

[MadMikeSS]

Yeah, I tried 264 with mine 3-3-2-5 and 3-3-3-6 with up to 2.8v, I can boot but will fail any tests immediately.
