I have my ram at 2.8V on its normal timings (2-2-2-5) @ DDR400 but no matter how high i raise the voltage, i cant even increasy my fsb by 5mhz. simple as that.. any ideas?

how high of Vdimm have you tried,

and if you could, some system specs..

CPU
MoBo
Ram
Bios setup
Bios Version
PSU

Ya some specs would help alittle if its not stable at stock and 2.8v i would say it might be defective or something call mushkin they have great tech support and rma's

Sorry, was doing it in a rush. Motherboard is Abit KV8 Max 3. Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle. Highest Voltage i tried was 3.2V.. Bios version 2.1, Powmax 400watt. Quality powersupply.

powmax=crap man...did you try memtest @ dd400?

apu318 · 10-20-04, 02:41 PM

yea, its a good powersupply actually. runs really cool.. good voltages. I like it. i can bench my cpu overclocked to 2.4ghz at 1.6Vcore and ram @ ddr400 for 11:30 hours

I have the same memory on the p4 system in my sig. My mb will only vdimm to 2.8. To give you a comparison, at 2.8, it will pass memtest and prime95 only at 204 (2.2.2.6). Relaxed timings will keep it relatively stable up to 208.

Still it's good ram. For p4 systems, low latency at 5:4 divider equals same performance as higher latency at 1:1 divider.

not in my experience, when I went High latency at 1-1 I went from 5400 to 6000+ in sandra as compared to LL at 5/4....

I should have been more specific. I was comparing what I run - 254. There were a number of posts on that issue. I think it was batboy who posted that you needed to go over 250 to get any real benefit from 1:1 as to 5:4. (I think you had to approach 260 to get real world benefits.)

** edit

Just read your sig. Looks like you are running about the same as me. Did you find a real world benefit with 1:1 (your sig notes 2.5,4,4,8) as compred to 5:4 (2.2.2.6)?

I guess I'll just set the DDR speed to DDR333 in the bios.. when I overclock to 2.4ghz (240mhz HT) the ram runs at full speed.. and i have the extra 400mhz on the cpu.
