Maximus IV Extreme-Z68 problem

[cadaveca]

I meant of the patriots.


But exactly those pics.

OR is it hte Mushkins you want timings for?

I HAZ CONFUSE?

 

[fullinfusion]

the muskins lol

 

[fullinfusion]

and the Patriots... Im not going to attempt the HS removal on these. I dont wanna screw these up as Im going to use them as a back up.

 

[cadaveca]

Why haven't you just pulled the subtimings from the SPD tool in the BIOS? Can you post screenies of those?

ROG boards have their benefits.

EDIT:ALso, you mushkins are PSC, BTW.

Mine are Elpida. I will snap a pic and show ya, they are even rated different by Mushkin; your's are higher-bin than mine.

EDIT 2: Images:

 

[fullinfusion]

Christ Dave what kinda quality pix is that lol

ok here's the Muskins..

And the Patriots

 

[cadaveca]

Your mishkins use the smae timings as mine. but at hte high end, they'll differ a little bit. you sohuld get more than i do.

Thew 1866 8GB kit, check out mailman's sticks, he's gonna post a screenie. Your subtimngs seem tight in comparison. NOt sure what IC's your sticks use, 100%, but give Mailman;s subs a try, to leave 'em on auto and see what the board uses. it might be overriding a few of them, causing the problem.

and lulz..pics were jsut done with bad lighting and shaky hands, with MSPaint edits. lulz.

DDR3 is so cheap these day's i wouldn't be bothered to pull HSF's or overvolt but that's just me PS i know squat about OC'ing new stuff anyways so just ignore me

@ cadaveca: Man you got some skill's if you can tell what IC's are on a RAM board from those pic's with the HSF still on

your confusing me lol. Thanks MM for the screenie. Umm The Patriots work and likely if I update the bios they will run fine. Im more interested in the Blackline timings with 2000MHz and higher with timings to try. Whats the difference from PCS and your Elipher... I thought yours would be the better chips

 

[m1dg3t]

Think he said they were higher binned, so they would scale better

How you liking Intel so far? I havent had to mess with the timings or anything. Its been plug and play since day one.

that was the story when clocking on AMD, where timings were more important than speed. But now you are Intel, which prefers raw speed over timings, so the sticks that are best change. Differnet platforms, different rules.


What do ya want, 2133 MHz? 1866?

And yeah, sorry for the confusion, as I stated earlier, I was confused about what exactly you were looking for. I thought you wanted timings for the Patriots.

@ cadaveca: Man you got some skill's if you can tell what IC's are on a RAM board from those pic's with the HSF still on

Meh. I just play with a lot of parts. I mean ,take a look at my reviews vs other sites...i tend to look a bit deeper than even some other reviewers. It's the small differences that really matter, but it ain't no thang.

Im loving Intel and never looked back at the other team

how about 1866 for now, heck both settings please

 

[cadaveca]

Can you post a screen of the settings page showing which timings come in which order?

Of course, I'm looking for htose timings as listed in the second area of the SPD info tool.

if those are real good you might wanna try 2133 MHZS 9-11-9-28 or 9-10-9-28, trfc @ 110. TFAW @ 27 should be fine, the rest bump up by one for each divider, trrd, goes up 1 for 1866, 2 for 2133, for example. same applies for trtp/twtp. Keep tCWL -1 from CAS latency.

 

[fullinfusion]

Sure here you go. Sorry for the stall in replies but Purolator dropped a package off a short while ago

 

[cadaveca]

First + second screenie is all that was needed.


1866 set 5-88-AUTO-14-7-27-7-7-6-(CAS Latency -1)

2133 set 6-110-AUTO-16-8-27-8-8-6-(CAS Latency -1)

Leave all the rest on auto.

Primaries, maybe 7-9-7 1866, 9-11-9-28 for 2133, might get 9-10-9-28. The last timing, TWCL, will need to be changed dependant on what you set for CAS.

first crack at her and just set the 1st 4 timings and set the voltage to 1.55v *edit* 1.60V

Cool beans. You should check waht hte board is setitng though, you might be able to tighten them.

I'd be trying 9-10-9 and 8-9-8 too.

Correction... I have the volts at 1.60 and @ this now

 

[cadaveca]

you can try 8-10-8 and 7-10-7 too. Mix it up a little, even. No point in not giving 1.65v...

I don't need quite a much voltage for that clock and timings, but you're more likely to crack 2500 MHz on SB-E or with AMD FX.

Wow you guys are nailing it!!!
Hope you all can help me just get my 2133 Mushie's to run rated speed.....................................................
Great job and outcome

The difference here is that the ASUS board is doing a lot of the "work" so to speak. FullinFusion, as he siad, jsut put in the primary timings and set votlage..the board took care of the rest.

You, on the other hand are using and Intel board. I know i can rely on the ASUS board when OC'ing...as that's what they offer. I've not had a chance to play with an Intel board, so I am not sure how forgiving, or how willing, they are to clock in the same way. Technically, I did nothing.

 

[revin]

I'll follow the pattern your using here to see if I get a hit
Still seems crazy Mushkin would leave my cmd at 0, so there may be a bad pair I got

That could also jsut be the software not reading things correctly.

Really, all you should have to do is enable XMP, and it should work. Not all BIOSes out ther support running 4 GB DIMMs @ 2133 MHz, but it's definitely possible, even with 4 sticks, for 16 GB total. Seemingly your BIOS is not cooperating, based on your own thread, so you may just be outta luck.

I hear ya but This Vertex 3 ssd needs for OCZ to come up with a updated Firmware for this drive. I hit 2400MHz 7-10-7-25 1.65v and It worked!!!! then took a shit and corrupted windows.. Now I been installing my programs the long way sense windows image didn't work as usual
