Soundwave Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Tested on Abit AV8 with Winchester 3000+ CPU: SiSoft Sandra: 4750 MB Memory Bandwidth Settings are 3-3-3-8 and command rate is set to 2T. Should I try 3-4-4-8 and 1T? Would that make sense? When set to 1T and 3-3-3-8 then I keep getting winXP bluescreens and general system instability etc. Memory bandwidth is then 5200 MB. I however read somewhere thats normal with the C3 kit as it needs 2T there. Is that result okay? For some odd reason Sandra also reports a DDR frequency of 360 mhz or something like that. Even though the BIOS as well as the POST screen clearly states 200 Mhz DRAM Frequency. Which to believe? I guess the program is -as often- simply wrong.

Soundwave Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 I have done a little more research on that subject. When running on 3-4-4-8 and 1T then the system is unstable and produces memory errors etc. even when I clock the FSB down to 200 or below. When running at 2T, i can set the memory to 3-3-3-8 and it runs stable as a rock and even takes the 4 Mhz overclocking the AV8 runs the system on. That gives me 4800 MB of bandwidth and I am happy with that, FarCry loading times are half as long and Half Life 2 runs noticably smoother as well. My question is: Is it safe to run the kit on 3-3-3-8 with 2T? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 If it's stable then you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
