Just putting a bit more focus on our DH m8's here an resubscribing to the thread.

Widkidone · Oct 28, 2005, 03:32 AM

Right now i got mine at 2.5-3-3-5. See my specs below any suggestions?

Judas · Oct 29, 2005, 03:44 AM

Hey guys... got myself a bit of a new rig and a bit of extra cash laying around

(lies)

anyways...

ATM, running an x2 4400+ on an Asus A8N-E rev 2.0 board.

Heres what i'm looking for: 2gb kit (or not a kit but each stick 1gb at least)
I'm not looking to puch for overclocking... what i'm looking for is the best speedsi can get at either default, or marginally small overclocking. lowest timing i can manage.. the works.

Lay me out a few of the products you guys would recommend me that would be a reasonably priced. Then hit me with some of the more lushish big(ger) spender products you'd suggest.

OH, btw, any ETA on a modstream version of the 600watt or better OCZ psu ... with the dual rails.. and the SLI support?

For a decent price our PC3200 Platinum 2gb kit is rated for 2-3-2 timings and will overclock some with looser timing. 220mhz is about the limit.

For about 30% more (roughly) you can get our PC4000 EB Platinum 2gb kit. It is rated 3-3-2 at 250mhz, should run faster than that and you just might get tighter timings similar to the PC3200 2gb kit above at 200mhz. This is the beats of both worlds an I highly recommend this product.

No word yet on a larger Modstream. The 520w is still tops.

excellent.. thank you

they've got the pc3200 stuff in stock (got it sitting in front of me) think i'll buy it.

Judas · Oct 29, 2005, 11:22 PM

akc problems..

pulled the 2 sticks i had in.. out.. poped in the new ones.. fired up and just froze at the asus post screen.

pulled them out and reseated... and fired it up.... got a garbled messed up screen (worried)

next... pull just one out and fired it up... good stuff... 1gb detected and checked.. auto settings set to 2.5cas and everything else what the stick is rated.. (not fooling around now)

stuck in the other stick again... this time no freeze.. but by the time it gets just about ready to load windows... it restarts..

i can get into windows with 1 stick working... switched them around ... both sticks WORK.. but not at the same time... (atm, working on different combinations)

in the mean time, my windows has fallen appart saying that something about the registry was recovered by log or copy... however, 3rd time doing this has screwed up windows horrible.. trying to get the 2 sticks working.... then will reformat and install...

i'll check back here again shortly on my alt computer

Judas · Oct 29, 2005, 11:37 PM

ok... finally getting i think something working here...

i've got both sticks in and there are in the A2/B2 channels (i'm sure that how the dual channel setup is saposed to be, black for black... blue for blue... mix the 2 and i'm running single correct? )

anywho... since windows gives me errors like crazy.. i'm going to try and format and install windows with the 2 sticks the way they are right now. 2.5 cas atm..

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 30, 2005, 03:25 AM

Whoa, whoa here Judas.

When switching ram always clear CMOS....You could have SPD info left from the previous ram, etc etc.
Clear the CMOS on the board and see if that improves things.

Ram should be in the blue slots....yes.

Judas · Oct 30, 2005, 04:29 AM

i always clear the cmos

no worries there... sorry i forgot to mention the many times i've cleared the cmos..

i've come to one conclusion though after forcing EVERY possible configuration i could muster... either 1 of the sticks is flaky or both are... (1 is diffintely more flaky then the other as running 1gb stick alone seemed way more unstable then the other)..

in any case.... after my windows XP packed it in pretty hard, i tried a few other attempts to run with both single/dual channel mode with the stick while freshinstalling.. but when windows attempted to install.. i was getting errors so i know something was up with them sticks...

i went and tried them in another machine... i only attempted to boot it once.. (NOT LETTING it into windows)... and they would only post.. but ass soon as it tried to boot from cd... it's reboot and loop...

sadly, my first purchase of the OCZ ram ... with my luck.. didn't go so well... a well.. i'll suffer with these 2 sticks of 512mb pc2700 c3 generic stuff for awhile

thanks for your suggestion though.... was looking good at first.

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 30, 2005, 04:31 AM

Send me an email....link is in Sig, so we can get those replaced.

Thanks

Judas · Oct 30, 2005, 08:03 AM

naw.. don't worry about it.. i've got it sorted out from the place i bought it from...

thanks though

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 30, 2005, 04:48 PM

Ok

Widkidone · Oct 30, 2005, 08:15 PM

hey RyderOCZ which setting is faster for my ram 2.5-2-2-5 or 2.5-3-3-7? Or is there no major difference.?

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 31, 2005, 06:42 AM

2.5-2-2-5 is better from a latency and bandwidth standpoint at identical clock speeds.

2.5-2-2-x at 200...vs 2.5-3-3-x at 230....now that would be a grey area

soloz2 · Nov 7, 2005, 05:01 PM

I have a question about oca platinum rev 2 memory. I am looking at this kit here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146890

I know that it used to use Samsung TCCD chips, but some people are saying that it doesn't anymore? is there any truth in this or does this memory still use the TCCD chips?

Lowfat · Nov 7, 2005, 06:58 PM

the version 1.0 uses TCC5 and the version 1.1 uses TCCD i do believe. They started using only TCCD again about a month or two ago.

soloz2 · Nov 7, 2005, 09:25 PM

I just called OCZ tech support and they said that they are using TCCD chips again.

version 1.0 is TCCD
version 1.1 is TCC5

In June they ran out of TCCD chips so they switched to TCC5 due to avalibility problems with TCCD. Then in August They started using TCCD chips again. So the current ones should be TCCD chips.

*RyderOCZ* · Nov 8, 2005, 12:05 AM

Hmmm....I see you have this all sorted

Bummer...I thought I was going to get a chance to help....

hahahahaha

soloz2 · Nov 8, 2005, 01:02 AM

lol, yeah I actually almost ordered that RAM this afternoon... well actually I did order it but I cancelled the order.

My corsair XMS twinx1024-3200C2PT has been giving me trouble. it wouldn't run at the timings it was supposed to so I RMA'd it, but somehow Corsair screwed up my address so it got delayed in the return shipping and then it got sent ground instead of 3 day... so I was w/o my system for 2 weeks. Then I got the new RAM, it ran like it was supposed to for about 24 hours then my system went kaput.

I was running memtest and it froze. then when i rebooted I was able to get into the bios to double check everything but when I exited my computer would not restart. I cleared cmos and that didn't work so I swapped out every component in my computer (except for mobo) and nothing till I tried my friends' RAM then my computer started. my RAM didn't work in his computer (and when I say didn't work... both systems did the same thing. you hit the power button and the fans spin, the optical drives spin and the hdd light comes on... that's it. no beeps or post)
So I contaced Corsair today and was about ready to send the RAM back... and I figured screw the 2 week deal and ordered some OCZ plat. rev 2 (cause I want TCCD chips) but before i shipped out my Corsair RAM i figured I'd try it once more and it worked. I'm actually at a loss. I'm not sure why it didn't work, but it works now. And it's not just a thing w/ my computer as it didn't work w/ my friends' rig either.

On second thought, I should probably still RMA the corsair... but I don't really have the extra cash for the OCZ RAM either... and I don't want to go any longer w/o my computer. In the last month I've only been able to use it for about a week and a half cause I've been waiting on this RAM.

ryder

You most likely recall my little problem with the 2gb OCZ platium kit i had tried out and misseriably failed..

well...

i just got word that they tried the ram and it was fine, however, they had a system with the same Asus A8N (both the -E rev 2 version and an SLI Deluxe) only to find out that the ram didn't work in those boards either.

My luck, i'd end up with the motherboard lineup that doesn't support OCZs 2Gb memory kit

so OCZ's 2gb kit doesn't work in the A8N-SLi Deluxe? that's good to know...

This doesn't make any sense....I have the -E board, rev 2 and I started out with 1Gig platinum (3200) pair and it worked fine (up to about 230). I added a 2Gig pair, just like yours, and it still works fine. I am now running the 333 divider and 2T.

Ryder:

I am still interested in possibly purchasing some platinum rev 2. I just want to make sure that If I do, I get the ones with TCCD. can you verify whether Tulcakelum or I are correct in which version uses TCCD? I know I called, but I did get confused on the phone with whoever I talked to, and they had to tell me a couple times before I understood what they were saying.

Thanks

*RyderOCZ* · Nov 8, 2005, 05:14 PM

@ soloz2

V1.0 or no version = TCCD

V1.1 = TCC5

@Judas,

These work fine in the Asus boards...the ram had to have some type of issue for it not to work...I have many guys running the Platinum 2GB kit in Asus boards. They do not use any type of "special" IC, they are pretty much all around compatible.
What we might be running in to is the tight CAS = 2 of a 1GB stick being too "tight" for the default bios settings on the boards. Asus really tightens things up at 200FSB so that their boards perform well at Stock speeds for reviewers...which can lead to this type of issue when you use ram that has tight timings. Compounded by the fact these are 1GB sticks which are a larger load for the MMC.

Judas · Nov 8, 2005, 06:24 PM

well that's what i figured..they tested it in all the asus boards that were the A8N and with the x2 Amd CPUs..thats the only thing that were similare between the system.. and none of them would work properly

When i put my 2gb kit in... Asus automatically set the cas to 2.5, but perhaps a combination of the x2 cpu and asus board... don't seem to work together correctly?

like i said, the computer would post... load the bios.. .the works fine.. but soon as it tried to load into a bootup disc (such as a capable memtest) or load windows.. it would auto reboot, leaving a nasty mess of corruption in it's wake....

when i tried to load windows.. fresh install.... it could not copy files from the cd to the hardrive correctly...

soloz2 · Nov 8, 2005, 06:36 PM

In the last month I've only been able to use it for about a week and a half cause I've been waiting on this RAM. __________________ [COLOR=gray][COLOR=red]CPU:[/COLOR] AMD Opteron 165 CCBBE @ 2.8Ghz [/COLOR] [COLOR=gray][COLOR=red]Motherboard:[/COLOR] DFI nF4 SLI-DR Expert [COLOR=red]Memory:[/COLOR] 2gb G.Skill F1-4000USU2-2 [COLOR=red]Video:[/COLOR] Asus 7900GT TOP @ 700/1700 [COLOR=red]Sound:[/COLOR] Modded X-Fi Elite Pro [COLOR=red]HD:[/COLOR] 2x Seagate 250Gb RAID 0, 1 Seagate 320Gb [COLOR=red]Optical Drives:[/COLOR] Sony DVD-Rom, Plextor 16x DVD DL RW [COLOR=red]Case:[/COLOR] CM Stacker [COLOR=red]PSU:[/COLOR] PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 [COLOR=red]Cooling:[/COLOR] Custom Water [COLOR=yellow][COLOR=red]Keyboard/Mouse:[/COLOR] [/COLOR]Saitec Eclipse & Logitech MX518 with a Razer ExactMat mouse pad [COLOR=red]Sound:[/COLOR] Modded X-fi > Soloz Audio Silver IC > Maxed PIMETA > Beyer DT 770 Pro/80 cans [COLOR=red]HTPC:[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=gray]AMD 3800X2[/COLOR][COLOR=gray], Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, G.Skill 2GB DDR400, MSI 6600GT, Haupauge PVR150, SB [/COLOR][COLOR=gray]Audigy 2ZS[/COLOR][COLOR=gray], Samsung 16x DVD DL RW, Sunbeam Nuuo PSU, Antec P180 case, AC Freezer64 Pro, Viewsonic N2750w LCD HDTV Heatware eBay [/COLOR]

I added a 2Gig pair, just like yours, and it still works fine. I am now running the 333 divider and 2T.

I just want to make sure that If I do, I get the ones with TCCD. can you verify whether Tulcakelum or I are correct in which version uses TCCD? I know I called, but I did get confused on the phone with whoever I talked to, and they had to tell me a couple times before I understood what they were saying.

They do not use any type of "special" IC, they are pretty much all around compatible. What we might be running in to is the tight CAS = 2 of a 1GB stick being too "tight" for the default bios settings on the boards. Asus really tightens things up at 200FSB so that their boards perform well at Stock speeds for reviewers...which can lead to this type of issue when you use ram that has tight timings. Compounded by the fact these are 1GB sticks which are a larger load for the MMC.
