twinx 3200C2 timings

Merlin · Post by **Merlin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 1:55 pm

What sort of numbers should I be able to get out of my Twinx1024-3200C2PT? and how much power should I give them? I have them set at 2.5-3-3-8@378Mhz right now at default voltage. I have tried tighter timings with some stability problems, maybe voltage related.

PS, Its an AMD system.

Note on the above image it shows XMS3208v1.1

What do your modules show?

By finding out version and IC's you are using I can help answer your question.

you can give that ram up to 3v and maybe more but i think thats the upper limit of most boards. since its an amd system your going to get your best results runing 2-2-2-11 or 2-3-3-11 so try upping your voltage and see if you can get it to run at the above timings

These are 3202V3.1 then on the corner it has a CL2

I increased my voltage to 2.8 and I am still having problems with anything tighter than CAS2.5 . See my other thread titled MEMTEST86 for more info. I would post screen shots of my tests but I don't know how.

Merlin I got some info on the modules...what is your exact setup.

ABIT AN7 Mobo, barton [email protected](fsb only tweaked), Memory you know, Radeon 9600SE, Maxtor 120GB ATA133 boot drive, Maxtor 30GB ATA133 Storage drive, new Aspire 500w PSU, CD-RW drive and DVD--RW drive. I think thats all of it. Oh winxp home OS.

Those modules are using Infineon rev B IC's which are actually the least favored amongst overclockers and enthusiasts...

They are rated to do:

2-3-3-6 latency on Intel platforms
2.5-3-3-6 latency on AMD platforms

If I were you I'd try running them at 2.5-3-3-6... if that isn't stable on your board I'd RMA them and hopefully you'd get some non-infineon IC'd modules... ;)

Try 2.5-3-2-6 timings...

Merlin · Post by **Merlin** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 8:29 pm

I have them running at 2.5-3-3-6 @ 3.09 volts so far so good

Post by **Apoptosis** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 9:33 pm

why so many volts? They should run 2.5-3-3-6 at only 2.7 vDimm. That is there default setting.

because volts are a good thing :twisted: although merlin you could back that off and they should run no problems at the default voltage, and if they dont take pictures of memtest and email them to the techsupport and they will likely send you an RMA.

I set the volts to 3.0 in bios but the Abit EQ saya actual volts are 3.09 and I set the volts at 3.0 because Valence sugested it.

No i said up to. but thats ok i dont mind takeing the blame.

No blame dude I guess I just missunderstood what you were saying, my bad I'll back it down and see what happens.

Merlin,

I'm guessing you have the latest version of your BIOS... Go into BIOS & set it to optimized defaults. Then go into the memory timings and set the latencies to 2.5-3-3-6 and hit f10 (save) and let the computer do its thing. We need to solve one problem at a time and memory is quick and easy to do, although its best to do with no other BIOS settings that can cause negative impacts on system performance.

Merlin · Post by **Merlin** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 10:31 am

I do have the latest BIOS version and I'll try the optimized defaults.

1.65 volts and 2.5-3-3-6 timings for three days now no problems. I have my FSB up to 400 now and still no probs with the RAM. Thanks

Glad to hear it. Not that i helped all that much

it is good that you got it all under control.
