Transcend aXeRam Thread!

I really want to run my FSB at 425 24/7, but first I need to rip my motherboard apart and put some new thermal paste on it. The MX-2 should be here in a couple days. Then I'm going to finally bite the bullet and flash it to a Rampage. Whatever thermal paste Asus is using on this thing, is not working so well anymore. Then again going from a dual core and 2 ram sticks to a quad and 4 sticks will heat things up some. That and it's getting warmer out. I'm just not one to ever let my components get too warm. So, soon with cooling issues resolved, many tests will come.

You know, I never even looked at my NB temps. lol.

erocker · May 8, 2008

Well.. I've decided to go minimalist for a while. Just 2gb's and one video card. My NB and SB are much cooler. This weekend I'll scrape the pink bubblegum Asus uses as thermal paste off of my mobo and replace it with some proper TIM. I think I've had enough of Crossfire for now. I think I can live with one card until the 4870's are out. I kinda want to save my quad core for some heavy benching then...

updat on alternatives to Axe ram 1200 since it's not made anymore

trt740 said:
Well if you cannot find axe ram 1200 then get these bad boys for 49.00 they will do DDR2 1190 at 2.2v 55515t2 not to shabby. I realize they are not Axe ram but since it's not made anymore this ram could be paired with Axe ram and run at the same timing but a little slower.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148069

These Tracer will hit ddr1200 or very near and go well over 500fsb.I just had to mess with them for a while.
When and if my axe ram comes back I will pair them and let you know how it works. These X38 /X48 board are very hard on ram and so far. The Transcend and Ballistix are the only ram I have seen that work right out of several kits I have test. The transcend works just about anyway you set them up.Supposedly these work well CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145173 but I cannot confirm it. This is the pickest motherboard I have seen as far as ram goes.

I think this is an important topic because the axe ram is so good but is gone (not coming back) and other people will find themselves is the same spot I was when it died. So to save other members trouble we might want to post alternatives to this ram.

whats wrong with your crossfire set up?

I now have 4gb's purring along at 1210mhz. 2.19v's

nice erocker. i want another 2gb kit. im looking at some ne flebay hope they dont get to pricey.

Nothing anymore. I just had the cards flashed a little higher than they could handle!

Get them ASAP before the prices really go up!

Oh, btw I've learned that this needs to be set for better memory performance.

DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
Ai Clock Twister : AUTO
Transaction Booster : Disabled
Relax level: 0

I run like this 24/7 1210mhz 4gb's @2.19v and 1.49v on the NB.

Replacing the tim will void warranty right ?... Or don't you think they would bother over such a thing ?. I'd do it my self else with having some MX-2 laying around.

erocker · May 17, 2008

Yes, I'm sure it would void the warranty. If Asus still uses the same gunk as they used on my A8n32 Deluxe, it's very easy to tell. It's like a pink sticky hard bubble gum like substance that is a pain in the arse to get off the heatsinks. One of these evenings, after my computer's been on all day to make sure everything is nice and hot, I'll try removing the stuff. I think Mandelore has done it before on his Maximus. If you're not worried about the warranty though, putting MX-2 on it will yield a nice improvement in cooling.

AsRock · May 17, 2008

think i'll keep the 33 months warranty i have left lol

erocker · May 17, 2008

How long is the warranty?

instead of heating it up use this stuff.
http://www.cpcares.com/TAE/puretronics/TAE-7400.html

what asus is using on the maximus's is grey and hard almost like epoxy. i tried to remove mine with heat and it did not loosen up at all. i read of other people putting there boards in the freezer to make the TIM brittle.

i just did about a 30 second spray till the nb had a layer of frost on it and it popped right off.

i cant confirm if this will work, but i suspect it will. if you dont want to buy circuit freeze spray, i think canned air held upside down and sprayed would work. so that you are spraying out the liquid in the canned air. heck circuit freeze is probably just canned air with a syphon tube.

3 years accourding to newegg. Which was another reason i got it as it should last that long before i need to upgrade again.

Man, that sounds nasty! Heck, with at three year warranty, I'll just run my NB a little warm!

Ocz Pc29600 Flex 2008 Version

Well I have the above ram installed on my DFI LP UT P35 and so far have only been able to reach 1150mhz memtest stable. They are rated at 1200 spec. Should I keep fiddling with bios settings or send back and try to find some MICRON somewhere? Any advice would be appreciated.

They already are Micron. D9GMH

I'd say the problem is settings. There have been others here that couldn't achieve 1200Mhz on a P35. If you have performance level settings in your bios, try setting it a step lower.

eidairaman1 · May 26, 2008

if you want micron, go with Crucial Ballistix

I'll say it again, the 1200Mhz aXeRam IS Micron. They are Micron D9GMH.

eidairaman1 · May 26, 2008

im just saying for easier confirmation of whether you want Micron Chips or not, Crucial is the easiest.

thats good for me since my board only came with 2 of the 4 screws installed on the nortbridge from the factory LOL

+1 yeah and they run sweet. and it's easy to check if they are D9's too. As if you do not believe the N means D9's i was able to take the cooler of mine with out voiding the warranty. And it says right on the chip unlike some others.

ckoons1 · May 26, 2008

the 2008 ic on OCZ PC2 9600 is NOT MICRON. they have changed ics. i had trouble with AXERAM on my p35 board in the past. I will experiment with the pl setting and see if that helps. I might have a chance to pick up some used OCZ PC2 9200 MICRON for $65.00 shipping included .if i can i may get them and send these back. I would like to get 1200+ speeds like you guys.

ckoons1 · May 28, 2008

NEW OCZ PC2 8500 REAPER MICRON D9 chips available @ newegg. actually listed as MICRON D9. i havn't seen that before. have some on the way $100.00 -$35.00 rebate=$65.00

What does this have to do with Transcend Axeram? Please post this kind of stuff in the Hot Deals forum.

ckoons1 · May 28, 2008

ok but,
we have been discussing all kinds of ram in this forum for quite awhile now i thought i was being helpful since transend axeram is not even available any more but the guys are still looking for MICRON chips
