Just installed 4 gig of memory - OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)

Need a little guidance with the memory settings


I have the CPU set at 3 gig


Motherboard - Abit IP35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.00GHz (800FSB)
Graphics - OcUK ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express)
 
Look at page 2-16 of your motherboard manual to find the settings.
These are your timings CAS 5-5-5-18 . make sure you set the correct voltage for the RAM.
I apologise if I'm telling you stuff you already know!
 
What settings? What are you wanting to do? Is your overclock not stable? Do you want to know what to set the RAM at - vdimm & timings?

Help with what? :p
 
Please any info on how to set the RAM timings?
Settings so far

External Clock: 300Mhz
Multiplier Factor: 10

PCIE: 100

Dram Command Rate: Auto
Dram Timing Control: Manual
Dram Speed: 1.1.00
5-5-5-5-18
Ras to Cas Delay: Auto
RefreshCycle Time: Auto
Write Recovery Time: Auto
Write to read Delay: Auto
Read to Precharge: Auto
Command Rate: Auto
 
Set Dram Speed to 1.125. That's about as close to 800mhz as you're going to get with your FSB at 300mhz. The timings are fine on Auto if they are 5-5-5-18 on the Auto setting.

You'll also need to set the DDR2 Voltage to 2.1v.
 
DDR2 Voltage is set to 2.1v
System crashes if set to 1.125, with 5-5-5-5-18 set manually
System set to 1.125 & DRAM Timing set automatically then according to CPU-Z the memory is
DRAM frequency 360 MHz
FSB:DRAM 5.6
CAS Latency (CL) 6 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay 6 clocks
RAS# Percentage 6 clocks
Cycle Time 18 clocks
Command Rate 2T

Is this OK or can I do better ?

Also CPU-Z shows the CPU
With a core speed of 1800 MHz
Multiplier X6……………not sure why as its set to X10 in the BIOS
Bus Speed 300 MHz
Rated FSB 1200
Also installed Zalman CNPS9500-LED CPU Cooler
 
1800mhz and the x6 multiplier is due to the Speedstep power-saving mode coming on at idle.

Try setting the MCH voltage to 1.37v to see if you can do 5-5-5-5-18 .

Still have a problem with the system crashing, secondly, is setting the MCH voltage to 1.37v non damaging ?
 
1.37v is still pretty low.

And they won't give you an option that can damage the board.
 
Need some help

What am I doing wrong, setup keeps on crashing, I am trying to get to 3 GHz


CPU to 3 GHz
Set Dram Speed 1.1.00
DDR2 Voltage to 2.1v
MCH voltage 1.37v


System is:
Abit IP35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E2180
Zalman CNPS9500-LED CPU Cooler
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB
OcUK ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express)
Alaska Ultra Quiet 460W
 
ABIT IP35 + E2180 O/C Settings

Looks like progress is finally being made

CPU @ 3 GHz
CPU Core Voltage 1.24
Dram Speed 1.1.25 – (DDR2 750)
DDR2 Voltage to 2.1v
MCH voltage 1.37v

DRAM TIMING AUTO

CPU-Z gives me the following data

DRAM frequency 375 MHz
FSB: DRAM 4.5
CAS Latency (CL) 6 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay 6 clocks
RAS# Percentage 6 clocks
Cycle Time 18 clocks
Command Rate 2T

Memory spec according to Overclockers is:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-086-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813

- 800MHz DDR2
- CL 5-5-5-18
- 2.1 Volts
- 240 Pin DIMM
- 2.2V EVP**

What is the is better, trying to set the timings manually to 5-5-5-18 or trying to up the memory Dram Speed ?
