Vegga Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi, this will be my first and I hope to not fill the forum with same old questions the only thread for me. Well until I trade my 4 x 1GB of cm2x 1024 8500 c5d v1.2 with another 2x 2gb i'm trying to find the best and stable configs for this motherboard processor and ram. I'm using 3gb only to avoid problems in the mobo. Ok so here we go, do I need to overclock something so that my ram work in all it's glory ? The ram voltage should be 2,1 ? 5-5-5-15 ? tRC 28 ? QDR 1066 ? DDR 533 ? No changes in anything in the cpu, so runing 2.4ghz The power suply is thermaltake toughtpower 1000w (think it's enough) The cpu fan is the default core 2 quad fan I'm about to receive thermaltake kandalf lcs so this will improve things a bit. Geforce 8800 ultra Anything else I should change in the default striker bios ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Anything else I should change in the default striker bios ? I would try to set the DRAM to 667Mhz and 4-4-4-12 - 28. Test with memtest. If that works, try 800Mhz with 4-4-4-12 - 28 and restest. Results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegga Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Having problems with my psu or vga, when I clear this up i'll do the test until them, can you explain me up 4-4-4-12 800 is better them 5-5-5-15 1066 ? Striker is a very strange board so I would set in QDR 800 and DDR 400 ? lowing down fsb but getting faster on latency ? Another thing to add is that I don't have a ram cooler, will this increase too much my ram temp ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that you will very likely find issues with running at the full speed (of a Twin Pair) with all four banks populated with DRAM and still expect the speed of a Twin Pair. Even when it does work, often there are DRAM issue that will show up in the future.Another thing to add is that I don't have a ram cooler, will this increase too much my ram temp ? You are running at 2.1V and should have no problems with that voltage and thermals.Striker is a very strange board so I would set in QDR 800 and DDR 400 ?You set QDR to 1066 unlinked and DDR 800 Download memtest from http://www.memtest.org and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. FSB - Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked CPU FSB: 266 (QDR 1066) CPU Multi: 9 DDR FSB: 400 (DDR 800) tCL: 4 tRCD: 4 tRP: 4 tRAS: 12 Advanced Memory Settings tRRD: Auto tRC: Auto tWR: Auto tWTR: Auto tREF: Auto tRD: Auto tRFC: Auto Async Latency: Auto CMD: 2T Voltages Vdimm (DRAM Voltage) = 2.1v Termination Voltage = 1.4v 1.2v HT: Auto NB Vcore: 1.40v SB Vcore: Auto CPU VTT: Auto Boot to the optical drive with the memtest disk and allow for two full passes.
