OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 (2x512mb) HELP!!

[cMw]

I have been running this ram at these settings right here for a month or so because everything else seems to fail on me :



so I read on another post that I should possibly try these settings out :



the 2nd image settings didnt pass spi1m but held stable on memtest for an hour with no errors, first image is 32m stable but seems to act up on GT3 on 3dm05

willing to try anything reply here or msg me on aim chrisxc06

btw both of those are running at 2.8v

edit: nm on the 2nd pic tweaker settings, but just so you know, you need to open tweaker after you open CPUz, and if you open tweaker first, hit refresh, those timings aren't what your ram is actually running...didn't think about that the first time

maybe try your first settings again, but loosen CAS latency to 2.5. try that first, you may just be reaching the limit of 2-3-3 timings.

once you get an accurate tweaker screen for the second set of timings, then maybe we can help you a little better with it

yea my bad 2nd pic is wrong its the same as the first pic except with the different timings

[ex2cib]

get a screenshot with the different timings if you can, and ill try to help you out

edit: ill be back to look @ them in an hour and half, have class to go to now

[cMw]

just took a64 out of 2nd pic

[Pyr0]

it's a64 tweaker that we want to see

it's a64 tweaker that we want to see

its the same as the one in the first pic except with different timings but ill do it again in an hour after i get back from driving

You should not need 2.8v for TCCD to run at any decent speed, certainly not for 275MHz. Start from 2.6v or 2.7v in BIOS. What Drive Strength/Data Drive Strength are set in BIOS now? Auto/Auto, perhaps? I see you have it Weak in A64Tweaker - have you tried setting it manually to 7-2 or 7-3?

What happens when you change latencies at 275MHz to 6-3-4-2.5-1T? Does that help any?

what would u recommend having drive strength set at? and yes it prolly is auto in bios as i havent messed with anything but timings and the sort, and i will try 2.5-4-3-6 when i get up tomorrow

7/2 i would think, thats usually stable

[cMw]

7/2 i would think, thats usually stable

where would i go about setting that

[Pyr0]

erm.... the bios perhaps
Genie BIOS Setting > DRAM Configuration
DRAM Drive Strength=7
DRAM Data Drive Strength=2 or 3

thank ya

ok so tried running 2.5-4-3-6 with 7/2 and 7/3 at 2.7v and 275x10 on 1:1..barely booted into windows and would rs before i could even get to cpu z
so i tried 2.5-3-4-6 didn't work either :/

gonna keep working on it

With TCCD, weaker drive strength for more voltage, stronger drive strength for lower voltage.

Best for me was 8/1 at 2.5v which was good for about 285MHz at 2.5-3-3. 300MHz at 2.5-4-3.

alright ima try 8/1 @ 2.5v and 285x10 2.5-3-3-6/7

[cMw]

ok settings at 285x10 1:1 2.5v 8/1 on drive strength/data 2.5-3-3-6 :



SPi1m...failed :

Those timings are all over the place. You need to lower trfc to 14 and tweak your tras some more. Try enabling Dynamic counter as well.

285MHz was just for me. Doesn't mean you should try that because everything is unique. Overclocking requires time and patience, there is no "formula" for it. Its 60% skill and 40% trial and error.

cmw, if you havn't read it already

its a very good guide, and detailed, helped me get my ram clocking. changed a few more things for higher clocks, but thats dependent on ram/cpu
