My CH-5 is currently able to do 250 @ 1.5-2-2-10 w/ 3.3~3.4 vdimm. My goal is to hit 260 so I can run them 1:1 with my fsb. However, I can't seem to attain my goal. Even if I give them 3.6vdimm, it will still spit out 1000+ errors in memtest.

Perhaps you should loosen the timings. CL 1.5 at 250 fsb is something. Why not CL2 at 260? At 3.6 volts are sure hope you've got some good active cooling, after all you don't want to cook the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Actually I did try the 2-2-2-10 @ 3.6vdimm and still no go. Perhaps it's the pcb...one would think that a .2vdimm increase would allow for a 10mhz gain, but I guess not. I guess the question is should I take my chances with TMSP?

Hey I'm the Chicken Little of the OC Forums, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. Excuse me, but I have to go chck on the sky.

I wasn't happy with my UTT at all. I couldn't break 230MHz on this dfi NF4 board. You may get lucky...but you have got some sweet ram there and I don't know if UTT will get you 10 more MHz. It is quite possible it will get you less.

I am at the same spot with you on my BH-5. I am at 255 perfectly stable, but 260 gets me a fair share of errors. Increasing the voltage past 3.4 gets me MORE errors. Strange.

That's exactly what's happening to me...3.6v gets more errors than 3.5v. UTT is just too inconsistant. I really don't want to shell out $$ for the 4000VX (opens wallet and cries )
