anyone know much about the refresh rate setting (tref)?
everest says 200mhz 7.8us,
my bios says

edit, currently trying to understand some of this, http://www.diy-street.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&t=23994

Is 800mhz to 1200mhz overkill do you think? it must be pushing the ram to the limits.

Just curious weather to try it on my reapers or not.

Overkill? Of course

And yes, it's pushing it to it's limits, but that's what overclocking is about, at least for me.

Thing is, you also need to know which chips your RAM uses, not all DDR2 800 can do 1200Mhz.

But i really dont wanna kill my ram off just yet dont mind overclocking ive took my cpu to 4.3ghz thats alot for a q6600 but cpu's normally take the heat well as long as it isnt long term.

Then make sure you cool your RAM properly (IE add a fan)

Hahah, I'll be trying too

And mine are D9GMHs

my cpu cant do it :cry:

i cant post @ over 280HTT which is a max of DDR1120 :cry:

Try it on the Reapers, if they hit 1200mhz I'll be stomping my ReaperX into their final resting place :laugh:

I tryed to run 1240mhz and something weird happened LOL, 1st long beep, expected that then totally reset my bios, had this happen pushing things way too far. When I got into my bios the 1st few times after hard restarts it was green and unusable. WOW thought I fried something HEHEHEHE!!!! Had to try, seen reviews of this memory hitting 1240mhz, it might but not mine, or not on my MB

Hold this spot BRB

Edit: Im back

2.1V

Deleted member 24505 · Apr 26, 2008

Heres my single sided crucial 8500 tracers running at 1125mhz.The voltage is 2.2v

sneekypeet · Apr 26, 2008

Expect an edit...I just thought this was a good point to start again withthis Crucial 667MHz @ 2.35V

Also Ill let you do the OC math as I obviously forgot how to use a calculator...lol

lol they got more

you better bring it :toast:

sneekypeet · Apr 26, 2008

They wouldnt post @ 1200MHz at 2.45V and 6-6-6-18 timings...I think they gave me all they were worth...lol

It was a great run for 667MHz ram tho!

BTW 1176MHz from them isnt too shabby...I get the %OC title I think and also 3rd place overall...great results for what I brought to the table!

HTC · Apr 27, 2008

Managed to lower my tRD: FINALLY found out how to do it in BIOS.

Here's my previous one:

And here's my best so far:

Notice the difference in "Latency" and "Memory Read"

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.

EDIT

Volts were 2.04 in BIOS but 2.1 real.

on mine it will post @ 6-5-5-15, but no love on 6-6-6-18

I may try later and see if I just run 1 stick if it will clock farther.

whats your cpu at ?

infrared · Apr 27, 2008

Since flashing to the new bios for my P5K Deluxe (0809), and after seeing what an improvement it made on my SuperTalent, I decided to have another go with the Single-Sided Crucial Ballistix pc2-8500.

A few thing's i've learnt about these dimms:

-Don't like anything over 2.2v (rated voltage)
-Requires High tRAS and tRFC

So, using 2.2v, and [5-5-5-14]-3-50-4-4-3 timings, i slowly upped the frequency with SetFSB, and finally arrived at 1150mhz stable! Not bad considering i'd applied to RMA these sticks! :laugh:
