kg04 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi there, i upgraded from a GPU ASUS 7900GTX to a Palit 260 Sonic 216 55nm today. Also i bought an additional RAM Kit called TWIN2X2048-6400C4 without "PRO" because i didn't find a new one to buy. The 3 years old DDR2 RAM is the one with LED Line on it. I changed Voltage of RAM in my Bios 2101 to 2,1 Volt and changed as i read at the forum to 633 MHz. Timings are 4/4/4/12/23/2T I tryed the DIMMs in 2 Installations First: DIMM_A1 / DIMM_B1 (yellow) TWIN2X2048-6400C4 DIMM_A2 / DIMM_B2 (black) TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO Now: DIMM_A1 / DIMM_A2 (black/black) TWIN2X2048-6400C4 DIMM_B2 / DIMM_B2 (yellow/yellow) TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO The space between the heat sink XMS2PRO and my Scythe Infinity SCINF-1000 makes a bit problem for changing all the time :D: CPU-Z shows following: Slot 1 EPP #1 400MHz / 4.0 / 4 / 4 / 12 / 22 /2T / 2,100 V Slot 2 EPP #1 400MHz / 4.0 / 4 / 4 / 12 / 22 /2T / 2,000 V Slot 3 EPP #1 400MHz / 4.0 / 4 / 4 / 12 / 22 /2T / 2,100 V Slot 4 EPP #1 400MHz / 4.0 / 4 / 4 / 12 / 22 /2T / 2,000 V Values at the "Memory" section is shown as: 345,7 MHz / CPU/7 4.0 / 4 / 4 / 12 / 23 / 2T @ Athlon X2 4200+ (89W) 2420 MHz Now i try to install the ForceWare 182.50 and crash in a bluescreen called Memory_Management Error. The PSU is a Seasonic SS12-500 PFC and the total power consumption (GPU is not runing yet) is around 200 Watt (Peak 218 W) for the System, so i dont believe thats my problem actual. Details of my system are shown in my Spec. What's wrong? Greets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg04 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Sorry my bad, but Memory_Management Error smelt like RAM :D: Solution Asus driver fragments prevented a proper installation of GeForce 182.50 so i had fun with a lot of bluescreens :eyebuldge PSU was maybe a part of the problem so i changed it to a 600W ATX 2.2 and i'm now prepared for my Phenom II 940. System seems stable now with: DIMM_A1 / DIMM_A2 (black/black) TWIN2X2048-6400C4 DIMM_B2 / DIMM_B2 (yellow/yellow) TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO RAM 2.1 Volt , DDR2 667 MHz, Timings 4.0/4/4/12/2T OC Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Windsor @ 2530 MHz ~100°F idle RAM......361 MHz HT........920 MHz Divisor...11 HT........4 Chipset..230 MHz I learned, do NOT install memory and GPU in sync :D: Attachment shows the values, i'm confused concerning different Voltage - any advice?

Synthohol Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 upgrade to a 5000 black and watercool it. im 14x200 and sometimes 14x220 when i want to kick it up a bit. the PRO ram holds up nice. http://liquidninjas.com/bbs/attachment.php?attachmentid=2678&stc=1&d=1154813970 i gott run but i can post some good settings in a bit for when i had the 4200+ in her.

Synthohol Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 the ram is underclocked in pic #3. was that an error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg04 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 the ram is underclocked in pic #3. was that an error? No it's true, but i won't go to the limit until i know about the voltage difference. I think there's space for 2794 MHz with aircool and RAM 399 MHz / HT 1016 MHz? :evildevil but anyway i like ur watercool. Looks like my Silverstone case...

Synthohol Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 the limit is not 400, thats supposed to be the starting point! :) i found a higher Mx gave me better benchmarks all around thats why i got the 5000BE but when i had the 4200+ in there i hit 11x250 2.2v 5,5,5,15,22 on air easy but i only used the black slots in DC. the yellow slots i found were...well lets say less than reliable at higher clocks, they topped out at 216fsb by themselves. i will say however knocking down the HT to 4 it was virtually crashproof but didnt bench as well. see, i dont know if all 4 slots filled with different pairs would really overclock that great but im certain they should do 400fsb and the stock HT is 5. i think you have yours on 3 if i did the math, you are robbing yourself. i found that AI booster was a great tool to slowly bring up my clocks from stock and when it crashed i backed off in the bios 1 notch and upped it more a bit at a time till i could go no further prime stable. backed off 2fsb and there it sat happy. obviously i cant tell you to set the ram to 2.1-2.2v but thats what i would do personally and make sure they get good airflow.

kg04 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Edit: RAM 2.1 Volt , DDR2 667 MHz, Timings 4.0/4/4/12/2T OC Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Windsor @ 2640 MHz ~100°F idle RAM......377 MHz HT........960 MHz Divisor...11 HT........4 Chipset..240 MHz No more freeze ingame atm:biggrin: No info about 2.0/2.1 Volt? I will try Chipset to 250 MHz, the HT Link will be 1000 MHz and CPU@2750 MHz and the RAM 393 MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
