Mushkin black lvl 2

Cow2kie · Dec 17, 2003

What FSB can yall achieve at 1:1 ratio and what voltage. Is the L12 wire mod the only way to get higher fsb w/o doing volt moddin. It seem I can only do around 222 @ 2,2,2,11 w/o getting errors in memtest. 227 and 225 i can run games all day w/o a crash.. i just dont like that it gets errors in memtest so i run it at 222. What kinda wires can you use besides phone wire. I couldnt strip an old fan and use a wire in it?

I get 225 at 2-2-2-5 on my 3200 at 2.9v without any errors in memtest.

i'd like to point out that right now on newegg the mushkin black lvl2 high perf (512) is only a few bucks more than the 3200 version. they both use BH-5, so they are gonna be nice...

oh ya, btw i have the 3500

223 with 2-2-3-11 timings at 2.9V, memtest and prime95 stable.

Hmm...this stuff looks good. I'm glad I'm getting a stick...

Biznatch - you should raise your tRAS to 11 for better scores. Worked for me, and you might get a couple more MHz out of it too.

necromanx13x: I think its something else holding us back. Prob not enough voltage to be givin to go higher.. *shrugs*

johan851 · Dec 18, 2003

Have you tried doing the L12 mod? That got me about 15 more MHz after some burning in. I think it may have also given me a higher stable CPU overclock too, but I'm not sure. It's definitely worth your time though.

yeah, i think i might try doing a vdimm volt mod during christmas break, hopefully i dont ruin the entire mobo.

Cow2kie · Dec 18, 2003

i havent tried it yet.. what are all the kinds of wires i can use. I dont have any spare phone wire laying around. I wish i could do a volt mod.. but i have no multimeter, or soldering gun

johan851 · Dec 18, 2003

You don't need a multimeter or a soldering gun or anything for the L12 mod. Just a thin strand of wire...almost any kind of wire will do. I stripped some electrical wire and used a single copper filament...most wires are like that. You might even be able to use wire from an IDE cable, who knows. Just get a really small strand and put it in the processor socket like this:

That actually made my AthlonXP default to 200fsb for some reason, but whatever...it works!

so what kinda fsb have you reached now w/ the mod?
