I believe my OC was 1260mhz for my ram.

Fixed

aaaagh another one, twtr 2=1 auto=2 1= no boot
sorted now,

That's fantastic... All those DDR2 kits hitting 1200+ Need some DDR3 guys to step that up

It's frankly obscene

I want to see >1400 DDR2 speeds - simply orgasmic.

I want to see >1400 DDR2 speeds - simply orgasmic.

If someone posts a DDR2 kit hitting 1400+ see money come flying out my pocket to get a similar set Wouldn't DDR2 that runs at 1400mhz make DDR3 pointless? I wonder...
EDIT: BTW theonetruewill I have still been experimenting at 1067mhz(kit like it best here) got it stable 5-4-4-15 2.0V still yet to try 1.9V I have an EVGA 680i, these boards seem to go arseoverteets with higher memory voltages 2.2+ really don't want to fizzle out my memory controller and/or my memory to run 1120mhz 2.2V. Real bugger but I knew what I was in for with this chipset. 2.3+V would be lookin for disaster I think.

You have mine in the form of a percentage on the RAM MAX SPEED list instead of its rated speed.

Pretty sure its 1098MHz too.

@ theonetruewill....thanks for the score update, but dont I get honors on the OC%?


No problem...I know it happens...

Also at smartbomb....Transends my friend...throw them your money.
Cant exactly remember who it was , but someone here bought the 1200MHz AXES and they were posting 1400MHz on an Asus.

erocker at 2.19v

so do you got more in them E

2.15v

What kind of voltages do I have to throw at them to get em cookin? 2.2V? Are they pricey?

2.15V=1200+ luvin for me, wonder how they run on an nvidia chipset. My kit is supposed to be 680i only but I've seen a lot of reviews of peeps gettin em screamin on Intel boards (1240 is top I've seen for mine on P35)

I sure do! Going to wait for my 2nd set first though...

@ 2.3V. Haven't worked a bit on timings, just wanted one to submit for consideration.

 

[Darknova]

Used a 9 multi to get a tRD of 6: with 8 multi, the best i can do is tRD of 7 but, with better memory, i could do a tRD of 5.

tRD doesn't matter about the quality of your RAM. It's a timing of the northbridge NOT the memory lol. It's all dependant on the quality of the board, the FSB you run at, and the divider you choose for your RAM.

According to this:

I should be getting that 3rd yellow one but my memory can't reach 1200 MHz nor can it match the 2nd yellow one's tCL value of 4, which is why i disagree with you.

@ Original poster: i will NOT use MemSet again unless a non-beta version that supports x48 is released. Refer to pages 1 to 3 of this topic to find out why. In alternative, i can produce BIOS screenies that show the tRD value selected as well as the other timings: will that do?

EDIT

As far as i know, the Rampage Formula is the best board, currently, for adjusting tRD value.

EDIT #2

Check the pic below and see why, for the time being, i won't be using MemSet and observe the different memory speeds in the programs depicted:

This was BEFORE i started messing around with MemSet. Dunno if it's because it doesn't work with this board or with x48 chips or both, but it doesn't work properly and, until it does, i won't use it!

Ooooooooohhhhh! I want in.

Here's my whole BIOS (the page where you adjust the tRD):

Where it's circled, is the tRD value.

That's the whole page right there.

EDIT

Also, i made a mistake earlier: i said my memory was @ 2.04 but it was actually @ 2.06 which translates into 2.12 real.

Well Dr. beat me already

I think, my mobo craps out at 1290 at even at 2.45v

is that a current one or an old one

Due to laziness in voting I'm going to reflect your idleness and not do a memory read/write scoreboard.
Secondly Everest screenshot is not required due to trial limitations - however CPU-Z and Memset screenshots are mandatory, no screenshot = no scoreboard entry

 

[Wile E]

is that a current one or an old one

Few weeks old. Haven't messed with it in a while. Keep near 1200 most of the time. Don't feel like frying another set yet, as they're discontinued. I'll push them again when somebody releases a 2x2GB 1200Mhz kit.

If you read my update post it says I will update the OC% scoreboard when I can be fagged. I cannot update everything all the time. I've already updated and taken PM'd requests updates far too many times. Sorry guys, you're going to have to wait.

You have mine in the form of a percentage on the RAM MAX SPEED list instead of its rated speed.

Pretty sure its 1098MHz too.

@Crashnburn - fixed the error - but 547.6 x2 is not 1098. It just is not- sorry but my maths isn't the one at fault.

Spankenstein - I need a memset screenshot.

Please re-read the posting instructions. CPU-Z and memset from now on. If you don't have both - no score. I can't change the rules for everyone. I will however, make an exception this once if you can get me a whole lot of alternative memory benchmarks such as everest as your score is so high.

 

[cdawall]

i'm sure he has a cpuz validation which is just as good as a memset shot
