BE7 owners, how high (and what CAS) is your DDR running?

The BD7II is a great overclocking board (probably the best there is), but I was never able to get above DDR418, 2-3-3-6 with my Corsair XMS3500 C2. Same stick has done DDR426-472, 2-2-2-5 on other boards with 2.8+ VDIMM.

So has Abit improved the BIOS on the BE7 to allow better DDR/CAS settings than the BD7II? I know it is still stuck at 2.7 VDIMM max. The IT7s are able to do around DDR450 at 2-3-3-6.
 
Interesting. I too have the BD72, and max out at 170fsb stable
(174 fairly unstable in games). My corsair xms 3200 will only do this at 2-3-3-7 settings, but the sandra mem benchies are great. I'm hoping the BH7 can do better with the added voltage adjustments, etc.
 
So you are doing DDR453, 2-3-3-7 on a BD7II? That must be a record! How old is your CMS3200? It's possible the real early sticks were winners. What is the size of your stick? One 512 MB?
 
It's one stick of 512. I think it may have the winbond chips.
that 3/4 divider is a real winner.
 
Decided to drag up this post as I am testing a BE7-RAID now. Memory timings have really been improved on this board over the BD7II! The stick that could only manage DDR418, 2-3-3-6 on the BD7II can do the following:

DDR415, 2-2-2-5
DDR453, 2-3-2-6

The above is at 2.7 volts, of course. The stick will now exceed Corsair's guaranteed spec as it will do DDR437, 2-3-3-6 @ 2.6 volts!

However my XMS3500 likes voltage, and beyond DDR455 I get errors in Memtest no matter how relaxed the settings. Needs more than 2.7 volts to go further. I am running a 512 MB stick.
