Ok, I managed to get mine to 1000MHz 2.3V 5-5-5-15. Should this voltage be safe?

Yes, as its within the warranty specs the RAM is rated 1.9-2.3v

smsmasters · 4 Dec 2007 at 10:11

Has anyone managed to this RAM to run at 1000MHz but with 4-4-4-12 timings? Just tried it at 2.3V and it wouldn't even boot.

No, mine would only reach 1000MHz at 5-5-5-15

853Mhz here @ 4-4-4-12

This is nice feed back information from you Geil users

Keep the information coming

I got mine stable at 900Mhz at 4-4-4-12.

Got Vdimm in the bios set at +0.3 which should give a dram voltage of 2.1v (I'm pretty sure my mobo's default ram voltage is 1.8), but Everest shows this to actually be 2.24v.

Ive over clocked my cpu but what does overclocking the ram do? Mine runs at stock speeds at the moment. What does it benefit?

900mhz @ 5-5-5-12 2.1v

Hi

I've just bought some from the bay...

Well i will be using them (when i get it all together)
E2180 CPU (going to overclock it)
motherboard - unsure, but i might be getting a Gigabyte 965P DS3 (rev 3.3)

are you sure u havent overclocked the RAM to ?
usually (in socket 939 world) when u up the FSB to increase the speed of the processor, your RAM's FSB also increases unless u ask it to "hold" at a certain FSB, but YES if u increase it, it wil be faster becuase data is transfering to and from the RAM & CPU at a faster speed

They're all set to stock settings and i've run memtest on each of them seperatly and no errors are shown. It's just when I put them all in together.

I've even tried upping the voltage to 2.3v which is the max for my RAM and I still get blue screens when I get into windows!

Tried slackening off your cpu overclock or bumping up the voltage to your northbridge.

I had a similar problem that my system was rock solid with 2 sticks but would fall over with 4. Backed off my cpu overclock and it would boot fine. Someone on here suggested that i up my NB voltage and try with 4 sticks and it worked no problem 1.5 v through the NB made it a bit toasty but a 120mm fan aimed at it and its sweet.

For the record currently have 2gig of the geil ULL in my main pc and 2 in my second pc both running 1066Mhz @4,5,4,15 memtest stable for 8 hrs

Nice information, well done and nice timings and @ 1066Mhz

Did you need to increase ram voltage to attain 1066Mhz?

Sorry forgot to add that for 1066 4,5,4,15 i needed 2.3v through them.

One pair will actually do 1111 5,5,5,18 @ 2.3 but its not 100% stable yet and im still fiddling.

That is informative information

Am not at home so cant check my spreadsheet! but off the top of my head have had 2*1 gig running @ 1125mhz @ 2.3volts on 5,5,5,23 @ 2T command and some fiddling with the NB volts. <--- this was 2 sticks picked from a total of 12 that i have

Fastest I have got 4*1 gig stable is 1050mhz on 4,4,5,15 @ 2T Command and again on 2.3volts

I decreased it to stock when I OC'ed. Does it make much difference?

smsmasters · 6 Dec 2007 at 18:15

Has anyone managed to get the timings lower than 4-4-4-12 at 800MHz?

Same as my new rig. Only had it a couple of days but got 3.2 out of the CPU, haven't pushed the ram yet (hence reading this thread)

smsmasters · 7 Dec 2007 at 12:26

Be careful guys with this RAM, don't run it at 2.3V 1000MHz for too long...

Yes mine will run 3,3,3,10 @ 2.3v 800Mhz but as latency does not make much difference with the intel chips i have looser timings with a higher clock speed.
