what does this ram do at say 2.85v my max on my neo2 till my rambooster i got coming arrives? 2-3-3-8 is on the sticker at what voltage, will 2.85v be enough?


picked it up at the post office this morning, w00t.

Just whack it in tonight, use 2.85v and start of at say 3-3-3-7 1T with memtest running loop #5 - then increase your FSB gradually until it starts getting errors - then leave it over night running - this will get your burn-in started at least!

I'd leave it running like this until you get your booster. This is what I did to start mine, as I was waiting for my new PSU before installing my DDR Booster the next day.

P.S. 2-3-3-8 is at 3.2v ( I think )

helps to look at the product page i guess, i was sorry obsessed with trying to find a place that had this stuff i never looked at the ocz site heh.

CL 2-3-3-8 at 2.6V

220mhz @ 2-3-3-10 @ 2.85v

looping memtest86+ v 1.3 for 20 tests this seems the max right now for me, after that i get errors every 5 tests.

Damn that stuff performs a lot like CH-5.....

Damn that stuff performs a lot like CH-5.....

If I could post a few screenies I think it would damn near discount that theory Torin...

can anybody do some image hosting for me please? I can email the screenies but I cant use free image hosting sites cos they are blocked at work and I have no home email right now.

Update on my VX:

you wont get to far without high voltage :/

seems im the only one who purchased from mwave?

any of you purchase from mwave lmk!

[conrad.maranan]

I didn't buy my VX from mWave, but I'm there almost every week.

The max I can do is 243 at 3.3v on my DFI Lanparty B. At 244 I get a few errors every now and then. I hope to burn them out but it seems I'm at my limit. I hope with a new board and a booster to get 260 at least. I wish I had something else to test on.

The weird thing is this, no matter how memtest stable the sticks are windows is havok. Even at 220fsb with 3.3v I get my firefox closing itself out as well as random reboots and blue screens. Making me worry. I hope it's only because the sticks aren't exactly tailored for my board and chipset. My OCZ BH-6 based 3200 Plat. Ltd. Ed. are also 2 X 512 and can hold up quite well with only 3.1v. Oh well any input especially from the OCZ guys themselves would be appreciated.

In all the excitement I forgot to add CPU-Z shots to most of the screenies... and the screenies I did put CPU-Z on didnt show mem speed... so ya'll gona need to trust me on this until I get more pics... should have more tomoro... hopefully at 10x260

BIG THANKS TO conrad.maranan FOR HOSTING THESE FOR ME

[EDIT]
Does anybody know why Sandra says "2CMD" when I am running CPC Enabled?
Does my bandwidth look like it's 1T or 2T?

[DevilsRejection]

rabbi_nz, whats that application where it does prime but it has that pretty interface? can you post a link or send it to me via gmail, i can take big attaxhments hehe.

my gmail is my user id here @gmail.com

[Rabbi_NZ]

DevilsRejection,
it's called SP2004 I think... it's basically just Prime95 but it shows the run time so you dont have to stop the application to find out how long you've run it for only to see it's 23:59 hours hehehe

I dont have it here... Im at work. But if you search for it I'm sure it will pop up... if not, I will email it to you tomoro

[DevilsRejection]

found it, too all those curious:

EDIT: I just write down when i started test and walk away so this is just another pretty app with no purpose lol.

DO NOT USE THE BOOSTER ON THE DFI NF2B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will be buying a new mobo as it will smoke. I have a dead one laying here and I know of at least one more that a buddy has (that he tried after I warned him).

I am not sure how the VX does in NF2, but please remember there always has been a 2 x 512mb issue with CPC on.

Maybe someone at OCZ has tested. I will try and find out for you.

well i tried to run 3dmark01 on loop last night and i woke up to see the "encountered an error" message

Prime unstable... Memtest86 stable, no errors test #5

This is at settings in sig... Would a format help?? Last formated about 3-4 weeks ago

From what I have been experiencing I'll wager that your CPU is not able to do 2640mhz stable. I would try lowering your multi to 10 and see how that goes. Curse me if I'm wrong.

[DevilsRejection]

you would be surprised how well a full format will help, after you install windows just install drivers, prime then 3dmark, then let it go

EDIT: I've had systems that wouldn't prime and it would crash at random times, so I just redid windows and only installed windows and prime, know what happened? prime stable for 72 hours lol.

Well thats PRECISELY what i just did

10 x 240 = 2400mhz 1.678vcore 2-2-2-10 240mhz 3.4v

and now im prime stable and passing!

I will try 10 x 250 coz 2500mhz is a respectable oc for cpu and probably my max stable then

But i was prime stable at 2600mhz on my old setup with this cpu which leads me to believe that the on die memory controller cant keep up with the uberL33t speeds of 240 2-2-2-10 @ 3.4v


With regards to the discussion is official vx results threads about prime95, this reinforces my belief that prime is fine and its just the winnies that cant keep up with very high ram speeds... Prime is the ultimate test for overall stability and still is imho

orker, what fan you have on your xp-90?

[Orker]

orker, what fan you have on your xp-90?

An aerocool aluminium one.. It only pushes about 40 cfm but according to a review i read where they tested a 40cfm and the panfilo 60cfm, there was only a 1C difference... I love aluminium.. hence lian li v1000 case aswell

Hi Andy,

worry not I didn't use a booster on my board. I followed every thread I could find on the booster when you guys first made mention of it back in the early summer. I was thoroughly dissapointed when it wouldn't work on the DFI boards so never did go out and buy it. I understand about the issue of NF2 and 2 X 512mb dimms however my 2 X 512 BH-6 from you guys holds up fine. Not very high on the fsb but 222 with 3.1v memtest, 3dmark and prime stable. I can run up to 243 with 3.3v in memtest but 222 with 3.3v in windows causes me problems. I am sure the memory is just fine as memtest goes for hours at a time with no errors. I am hoping it is just a chipset compatibility with this ram as it is quite new and the bioses being older for these boards weren't tailored for this ram whatever it is. I wish DFI would hurry up and offer their new boards so I can jump off this NF2 ship and onto something bigger and better.

thanks for looking into whatever you can do.
