[jivetrky]

well unless it drops by the time Newegg refunds my money from my Ballistix ram, I guess I'll have to pay full price

nice, will do 250 like water, im wiaitn gon my new cooler to go father then 2.8

Was 250 a typo? cause it SHOULD do 250 on air as that's the stock speed.

Hello guys

This might be a silly question but here it is. Can I use A64 Tweaker on any other MoBo such as a NForce2/3/4 or even a Pentium board? Or what other program is there that would alow me to adjust as much timmings as A64 Tweaker allows?
I have 2GB G.Skills on a Abit AI7 that runs good up to 265 1:1 3-4-4-8
I am thinking I might be able to get more out of them, but need help with memory timmings.

Thank you

Daniel

Well, I am back in business again. Seeing some other interesting posts throughout this thread and others I am going to try for 290 Mhz tonight and full stability. If you remember, I was able to boot XP 290 Mhz plus but with some stability. My goal is 290, Spi 32m stable.

Hi I brought a set of these to replace some value ram but I can't even get them to run at 250.I lowered my ht to 4x but it won't even get into windows at more than 230.Could it be the motherboard it's a neo2 platinum with the latest bios on it.
Cheers for any advice

Welp I finally got the credit back from RMA of Ballistix RAM....so I Ordered a set of these guys! I can't wait....hopefully will get it Thursday...then my rig won't be sitting there collecting a top full of dust! It will be running, collecting dust on the inside!

Dominick32: are you using active cooling to get that 280+ Mhz ? Just curious Thanks!

Jivetrky,
Immediately upon purchase of my ram it worked flawlessly at 280 mhz without any cooling whatsoever. The rig was even left on for 24 hours Priming with no problems. 280 mhz and 2.7 volts

To get 286 mhz it took a DS/DDS setting change, 2.76 volts and a simple 80mm fan "ghetto" affixed 1 inch above the sticks. I am still working at a 290 SPi 32m pass its just taking some time.

Well I think i might be ordering a set of these sticks..I need 275 mhz in a 5/6th divider to run with my opty @ 330x9 my mushkins fell shory about 10 mhz..and started having 3d errors so they got rma'ed. I hope I'm in luck with these!

 

[seer33]

These sticks are great...I tested them stock and they worked great. Stepped it up to 275 at stock timings and no problems at all. I only needed 270 for the 180mHz divider so these are great. I might see if I can tighten the timings a tiny bit and still keep them stable. I saw far less stuttering in Oblivion with these sticks...now I need to go tryout FEAR with max texture resolution
