funny thing is that set was free from a drawing that sovereign had held here. Man I miss that guy!

sometimes the stuff you get for free turn out better than what you pay lots of dollars for.

What did happen to sovereign? Is he not a member anymore or something?

last I heard he got into an accident and was uninsured, he had to sell off his rig/rigs to pay the bills. I had actually offered to raffle off the set of ram to help the cause but he never replied again. I really hope he makes it back in here sometime, even if just to let us know he is doing ok! http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=594109&postcount=8

damn kinda sucks, that was before my time here, as I got really active here mid way through this year, before hand I only had like 3 posts or so.

Well hopefully everything works out for him and hopefully he does get on here soon. At least he posted back and gave everybody their prizes, thats sign of a responsible person right there, good luck to him! :toast:

I wonder why this thread never really caught on....

I wouldn't go quite that far, but frying expensive RAM is all too easy to do. I reckon thats why most people are a bit more cautious than when clocking cpu and gfx.

You know I still haven't gotten my prize from him but like some of the others. It dosen't bother me at all since it was free anyways, but his disappearance a bit more sever then just the accident he claimed to be in.

I'm sure anyone in the situation he's in, could manage at least one minute within this time span to post one comment.

Not bad here, but for some reason I can't get 5-5-5-15 tonight...hmm..

YAY I feel so validated.../self promotion! :laugh:

no offense , but the overall %, the speed is wrong!

figured i'd follow the format better, sorry about no memset last time. here you go now

All is corrected now, I think.

PaulieG · Oct 28, 2008

I'd REALLY like to see some max memory speeds from people who have p45 boards. I had terrible luck with memory on p45's, and I'd like to see if my experience was just a fluke. C'mon guys, post some scores!

I need better memory first, these OCZ do not love DFI.
at all.

What is the configuration...2X1GB or 2X2GB 1X4GB. there is a trick to the DFI's for ram tweaking as well. this is why I ask

Hey sneeky, I'm fairly well educated on the DFI bios, but I never never heard of a "trick" to OC memory on their boards. I've always followed the same rules as any other board, and I've never had a problem. What's the "trick"?

Well with 4X1GB setup there is no real trick, but with the 2X1GB or 2X2GB configs, you need to set the ram in the matching slots furthest from the CPU. with orange ond yellow slot mobo's you need to set the ram in the yellows. Also with the BI I had me best OC's in the blue slots. By reading since my 939 days, the boys at DFI say they are more stable.

Exavier · Oct 28, 2008

it's 2x1gb, OCZ XTC platinum rev 2.
they hate me

haha but they are in the orange slots...so I'mma give it a whirl

Try running them in the yellow slots and see if your OC performance increases as I posted just above you!

LOL. Yeah, I've been using DFI so long now that I do this automatically. Never really looked at it as a "trick". I suppose it is for DFI newbies.

well most instructions state to run 2X1GB kits in the other slots. Dont have the foggiest idea why, but it has ALWAYS clocked better in the others for me!

I believe it was "Angrygames" who first told me to run in the furthest slots...also back in the 939 days.

Exavier · Oct 28, 2008

nothing. I can boot in at the same clocks I have now (400x8 400/800) but that's it, nothing at 425x8 or 378x9 or even when I attempt to run the ram lower than stock 800mhz, at 1.40 through the CPU and 2.1 through the ram (pushed to the highest I'll go on air to see if that would help ANY)
but no dice

NinkobEi · Oct 28, 2008

Here's my first attempt w/ Transcend aXeram pc 8500 2x2gb modules. @ 2.1v, I didnt want to go higher yet because I'm not sure what the max safe voltage for these sticks are yet.. My goal is to reach 1200 but I'm starting to have my doubts. I'd at least like to hit 445 FSB so I can run my cpu at 4ghz- for every day use. Any tips??

edit: I actually got to load windows @ 445 and 2.1v, but it crashed shortly after everest finished.

^^ this above info about switching slots on the RAM is some interesting stuff. Wonder if it helps out on my board?

Looks like I might be switching RAM around too! hehe.
