Kula, Geil Memory question.How is your Geil Memory module, what is the highest fsb can you achieve in 1:1 ratio? mine i can get is work as 2.5-4-4-7 at 275Mhz under 2.8v, boot to windows successfully with 275*9=2475Mhz, i have not done any detailed testing yet, only use prime95 to run the blend testing, the machine can keep running 1-3 hours before errors. i try to change to 280Mhz, it can not even display the agp screen and i have to reset the bios. i check the online Geil pc4400 it is running at 3-4-4-8 at 275Mhz with the same chips, but if i change to 3-4-4-8 timing, it is also not stable & even worse. 1-2 hour it will fail.i think the reason is that the abit board k8vpro can only support 2.8v mem voltage so far. i am not sure if abit will release newer bios to support higher voltage for memory(the Geil's working voltage 2.6v-3.1v). now the sandra test result for 2.5-4-4-7 275Mhz is 3700+MB/s and 3-4-4-8 3670MB/s both with 84% efficiency. if it can work stably with 275*9, i will use it rather than push the (more...)
Low latency is more important
I suggest you to run at latency 2-2-2-5 ranther than achieving high frequency st 3-4-4-8. The real working condition of memory may not be the same as th test, which is usually burst read rather than large scale continuous read.
