Drug Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have 2 256MB VS3200 sticks. I'm aware that it's not the kind of memory you want to overclock, but I bought them because of budget constraints (it's Value Select, or wtf? :): ) They are running now at default spd: 2.5-3-3-11 (Abit NF7, FSB 200) 100% stable. The question is: can I lower the timings and if yes, how? The comp locks if it's set to 2-_-_-_ or 2.5-2-_-_ or 2.5-_-2-_ and I have to clear CMOS :[pouts: . Should I rize the vdimm or...? The second question is: at fsb>210 it fails prime 95 (didn't try memtest), but not the way it fails when CPU error (had pretty many of theese too) I guess it's the memory (the timings are 2.5-3-3-11). Again, should I rize vdimm? Please make me clear: vdimm increase allows higher fsb, lower timings or both. And what is the maximum acceptable vdimm?

SpDFrek Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 If you have 2x VS256MB400 sticks then you have a part rated @ 2.5-3-3-8 and the chances of you getting that to run CAS 2 with any voltage is unlikely. Getting a few more mhz out of the part with higher voltage will work. How much will depend on the IC used. I beleive Corsair's warranty is up to 2.85 vDIMM. You can try that and see if you can get stable in Memtest86+ @ 210 - 2.5-3-3-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drug Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by "IC"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
