great utilization :DGEIL have 2 kinds of high freq memory, one is called Platinum, one is called golen dragon, what we bought should be golden dragon, Platinum is slightly better, and have pure copper heat sink.
It's hard for Geil to be stable at 260 for 2.65V, i need to try it out. Geil says they use 4ns chip, but i really doubt that.
3-4-4-8 seems not a good timing for geil, any other setting seems fail if it working above 250 other than 2.5-4-4-7.
but i heard someone says Abit's mohterboards have the compatibility problem with memory...dunt know it is true or it can be applied to GEIL.
as far as i know, Abit only support up to 2.8V, the actural Voltage is about 2.86. what we can do is to wait...
or try to find some modded bios :P.
3700+MB/s is great, you know those expensive chip which can do 1T command is about 3850MB.
Geez, 2-2-2-5 at DDR 400, 3-4-4-8 at DDR 650 (TCCD, 1G cost S$699)
I learnt someone get a FX53 and OC to 320 * 10 with TCCD, 7100MB+/s...
Keep in touch , there are always more to explo
I think now the heat for Mem is not a problem any more
since I add a home-made memory cooling system for this guy. i find the abit k8vpro 2 mem slots are so close to each other. the inside heat is hard to be blowed off. I use an old coolermaster cpu fan to attach on the memory, and a small cable to fasten it. now even @275Mhz full load for memory, i can not feel it warm when i use hand to tough it( of course, i need to clear the static first by touching the casing :-).) if you are insterested my work, i can take a photo of it, after i finish that i feel the cpu temp is also affected--cooled down by around 8-10 degree. now for the system since i will not oc the cpu further and the heat is not a problem for memory, i believe any instability is caused the hardware physical quality and bios settings (also maybe the microsoft OS disability but yet i have not tested the pc under linux or solaris). now the pc sometimes hangs when playing games @275*9 v cpu@1.55 mem@2.80. I think maybe it is caused by the nvidia driver or ms directx but not very sure if it is caused by hardware settings. do u have any ideas? how about your system? so far any system crash or hang or bluescreen or application crash?
