hay doodz,
today i got my new gskills....
so far so got. my ones are the 2 x 512MB kit with the pc3200 2-2-2-5 and pc4400 2.5-3-3-7 but when taking a look at the spd ratings i get this:
is this normal?
well ok, as i know that most ram manufacturers program their spd's with kinda low settings and just guarantee that the suggested ratings should run it might be ok but now comes the real problem:
the ram does not perform any good on my abit kv8 pro 1.1 bios 1.6
my rig:
-athlon 64 3000+ CG(AX) newcastle (capable of running 2.5GHz @1.5V primestable with air cooling)
-tagan 480-U01 power supply
-zalman cnps7000A cu
-160gb samsng spinpoint (sata -system disk)
-120gb maxtor ata133 (data disk)
-dvd burner
-gf 6800gt @ ultra
-tons of fans venting the case
and today i started overclocking with this:
HTT 250
multi 10x
ram: 2.5-3-3-7 1T 1:1 rating
2.8V vdimm
HT = 3x
--> no go.... system will post but i do not reach windows, not even with 3-4-4-8 1T
everything above 240mhz ram is unstable using 1T and won't let me get into windoes
ok, i thought it might be my cpu so i started this:
HTT 250
multi 9x
ram: 2.5-3-3-7 1T 1:1 rating
2.8V vdimm
HT = 3x
--> no go.... system will post but i do not reach windows, not even with 3-4-4-8 1T
conclusion after testing a lot more: 1T is absolutely unstable past 240mhz
my next tries were to reach the suggested speed of pc4400, settings:
HTT 275
multi 8x
ram: 2.5-3-3-7 2T
2.8vdimm
HT = 3x
--> no go... not even with lower timings like 3-4-4-8 2T
everything above 265 won't let me get into windows (i am getting bluescreen after the post screen)
conclusion after testing half a million different settings:
everything above 240 is not possible using 1T
everything above 265 is not possible using whatever setting
--------
where is the problem now? my cpu can't be the prob, my power supply can't be either....
only things left is the ram and the mainboard.....
i already heard that the abit is kinda sh1tty for TCCDs but i did not imagine that it is THAT sh1tty (IF it is the board)
what do u think?
