**WANT 8GB 2400MHz FOR AS LITTLE AS £59.99 Inc. VAT? - THEN CHECK THIS THREAD OUT!!** (MV-3V4G3D/US)

[8 Pack]

Which one mate?? X79 or Z77??? That Z77 is a benching one I only used the cut out to demonstrate what timings are more important when tuning.

 

[buzzlightweight]

sorry z77, what would you use for 24/7

 

[8 Pack]

I use DRAM 1.65V, VCCIO 1.10 -1.15, VCCSA stock for 24/7.

Its VCCIO that is IMC mate, VCCSA is system agent. You only need to touch this for serious xtreme clocking.

With 8packs help I have dropped my timings and increased read/write on my Samsung ram.
Below are my timings and results for 2200MHz @ 9-10-10-21-1T.
My volts are -

DRAM = 1.58v (auto is 1.55v)
VTT/VCCIO = 1.079v (auto is 1.053v so up two notches)
IMC/VCCSA = 0.946v (auto is 0.928v so up one notch)



To achieve 2200MHz I had to up the BCLK to 103.2 as my motherboard Asrock Z77E-ITX does not support changing the third timings :/ and I seem to have a brick wall stopping me getting any higher than 2200MHz which i think is again down to my board :/ Im not phased as i am happy with my OC

thanks pack, you have been most helpful

I should have said those volts are for my 24/7 volts for my Trident X 2666mhz Kit.

No problem glade I can help.

Thanks wazza300

I've actually discovered they seem to have adopted their own domain name now and a newer version available with online submission.

Hi

My first time trying this, so am a bit confused.

Using MSI Z77A-GD65, 3570K, 8GB Samsung DDR3

First I've tried 2133MHz @ 11-11-11-24-1T, DRAM Voltage 1.5505

When I look at Memtest86 (v4.20) it shows;
"Settings: RAM 824 MHz (DDR3-1648) / CAS: 11-11-11-24"

How do I know that my mem settings are working, I don't see 2133MHz anywhere?

Any help much appreciated

Any help much appreciated

1066x2 = 2133?
lol
its working

 

[thenewoc]

Hi tamzzy

Thanks for confirming that lol
First time doing this so a bit bewildering.
Any suggestions for 2400MHz?

 

[tamzzy]

Any suggestions for 2400MHz?

ya, dont bother ;p
makes very very little difference in real world usage

Could someone with a 3570k, asus v gene take a screenshot of your timings please?
Would be really grateful as I can use that as a base. Thanks

 

[8 Pack]

Gene settings I did was 9-11-11-25 1T LB8 or 9 everything else on auto I think. Vdimm 1.65 volts.

Adjust vccio volts too as they are for the IMC on the CPU.

Need to read up about vccio. What did you have yours at?

Thanks

This should help:

Seems like there is a new motherboard profile exchange program with Asus ROG boards.

whats the best way to check a memory overclock please ? (Maximus V Gene) - as my methods from the past (Memtest86+ booted on USB) is not working ...

heres an example: 16gb Samsung, Gene V + 3770k

Vcore 1.285V, CPU @ 4.5, memory at 2200 11-11-11-28, 1.45V

passes memtest86+ fine, stable in windows and with stresstest programs

Vcore 1.285V, CPU @ 4.5, memory at 2200 11-11-11-28, 1.38V

passes memtest86+ fine, won't complete boot sequence into windows !!

and in between its better but get occasional crashes

Vcore and CPU speed are the same, as is the memory speed so Vcore and the CPU can be discounted - so must be the memory

so how is it completing Memtest86 ? but then not stable ? to be fair I am only running 1 complete run of memtest, but in the past that would have been plenty to at least know stable enough to boot into windows ...

is that air-cooled ? (1.65V on the Samsung ?)

 

[sadbuttrue]

Memory suffers from vdroop just like the cpu. Different loads will cause instability.

I found 2133 CL11 requires 1.5v (possibly a bit more). Anything less would BSOD after a few hours of random usage/stress testing. My PC runs 24/7 so it gets a varied amount of load.
