Kakaroto G.SKILL PC4000 2GB HZ testreport

wow, AMD Opteron 148 CABYE 0543 FPMW @ 3240? is that with air cooling and divider?

Thats with phase (Mach II) and 166 divider. HTT for me 325, 270FSB stable. However I want more FSB cause cpu is 3330Mhz stable at 1.58v. Memory is not cooperating....lol

[foodfightr]

so you're saying use the yellow slots, or swap the ram in the orange slots?

So I switched them from:

Orange Slot 1 -> Orange Slot 2
Orange Slot 2 -> Orange Slot 1

I couldn't get 270 stable on the following bioses before I switched them: 623-1, 623-3, 704BTA and the latest FX-60 bios.

I'm currently on 623-3 and I could pass a bunch of test #5 and test #8 all the way up to 275 with everything set to auto except 3-4-4-8. With the same settings at 280 test #5 would result in 2 errors on the first pass and a few more in later passes.

I'm probably going to run it at 270- I have a feeling I may be able to get 3-4-3-5 stable. Screen shots to come if I do.

here is screen of a64:

i can go up to about 274 (273.97) with clockgen before it starts to fail. any suggestions?

im at 269 x 11 for now

my goal is 1:1 @ 273 x 11. thanks to all the GSkill techs for their help so far

This is a little off topic but, do you think this is normal(3-5-5-10)?
I think i will RMA this memory Kit.

thats how mine shows up and it works fine. test it out before you rma

Well so far looks like the max of my sticks are 272 with 2.6v for one and about 260 with 2.6v for the other.. I have yet to try more volts, but the bump from 2.5-2.6 only gave me about 1-2MHz.

And they won't work together at 260, trying 258 now..

Oh well, I'm pretty sure all I need is 255 for 312x9 with 166 divider, I really wasn't expecting the 280 that I would need to run a 180 divider..

its disappointing to read all these reviews raving about how great these sticks are and all these graphs showing 270-300 MHz then barely getting 265 out of them when you get them, lol.

im thinking more tweaking has to be done. i REFUSE to accept these results

Can you post a A64tweaker screen? Since G.S EUTech doing the support now. Maybe i can help you OC further.

[Repoman]

Yeah, here ya go-

258 actually failed memtest after about 10 passes of test #5 (only test that fails) but I put the weak stick in slot 4 and the problem seems to have gone away. I will run it overnight though

TREF is 3684 (I tried all the bottom 8 but they didn't do anything better, and also 1032 as suggested earlier but it was horrible).

I just played Source for 2 hours at these settings, but it finally crashed on me.. drive strength was 7/2 and I just set 7/1. I'm thinking this is probably gonna be the stable one

I am still happy with these sticks, max memtest stable also seems to be max game stable which is a good thing.. there was about a 160MHz difference with my Ballistix on max memtest/max game stable..

Hi kakaroto,

Would you pls also help me? I am stucked at around 268Mhz.

VDimm is 2.6V with DFI Expert.

Thanks a lot!

[Repoman]

Loosen your max Async/ read preamble to 9/7

BTW you guys say RP of 7 won't boot, it works fine for me. Only when I set 10/8 it wouldn't boot

[ivo0613]

I tried 9/7 but the result was even worse.

[Repoman]

Really, maybe I'll have to try tightening mine. I think I'm gonna go memtest and play with it some more, see what I come up with

edit: Anyone know if burning in RAM works with anything other than BH-5? I know with that stuff you run it under really high volts and memtest it while it's unstable at some high MHz and it's supposed to gain a few MHz.. and it actually works unlike CPU burning in from what I've gathered. If I could get an extra 5 MHz or so with this stuff it would give me plenty of headroom to push the CPU with a 166 divider

edit2: I'm gonna try some low voltage burn in like you would a CPU overnight, you gotta find out if something works somehow huh 280MHz with 2.5v should be good..

[bacchane]

I need some help. Can´t get 255 stable. What bios you guys are using?
Thanks.

im using these BIOS settings with 704-3 and im stable at around 265 or so.

i guess my pc doesnt like 11x multiplier or something because when i set it to 265 x 11 it doesnt pass SP2004. i see everyone who has it at a high speed has their multipliers to 9 or 10. is this right?

[Repoman]

Well looks like mine might at least do 3-4-3-8 at ~255.. guess I can't complain with a slight OC and better than stock timings

I was about to buy that OCZ Gold UCCC kit but decided against it since I can do 3-4-3-8, and I either need ~255MHz with 166 divider or 280MHz+ for 180 divider with my CPU OC.

I will have to wait for Teamgroup Micron to become available in the US to use my 180 divider

3-4-3-8?

it rated at 3-4-4-8

[Repoman]

I know, that's why I said I was happy that they do 3-4-3-8.. gets me about 150MB/s in memtest bandwidth

Just did 32m pi and half hour of Source here also

[crash2k]

hi guys,
need some help from you to help me get 270+ with my G.Skill sticks.

actually i'm ROCK SOLID with rams at 265mhz with 2,7V and with my cpu running at 290. making some tests i've noticed that my opteron 170 can be stable even at 3ghz, but to do that i really need to get the memories to be solid at 270mhz.


this is my situation...




i've tried kinda EVERYTHING, changing tref, max asinc latency and read preamble, idle cycle limit to 128, trc/trfc to 16/18, trtw to 4... nothing seems to work at 270mhz! i really don't need 1mhz more than 270, but how do i get to that?!

of course i can do more than 265, but not stable...

the S/N of my memories begins with 0501... so i think they're kinda old sticks, i hope that 265 is not the limit of my sticks...
