Well my current RAM is not letting me go over 300 baseClk. But with some other RAMs and with a lot of BIOS tweaking, I've seen my board can do 325. Also can you tell what memory bandwidth score are you getting in Sandra ?
Thanks and +1 in advance thumb.gif

This 28 hr Prime95 4233 OC has CPU/NB voltage manually entered into bios as 1.442v using "Offset voltage" and "CPU/NB LLC" on "Full". Under load w/Prime95 it may spike to 1.500v but usually runs at 1.47v running "Blend". Everyday use it runs at 1.43v.
Please note, this is with a 1090T and 890FX chipset (CHIV).
I'd be happy to DL Sandra but this rig is currently running/testing 8GBs of Samsung Wonder Ram I bought a while back just to see how it performs and haven't gotten the 3211MHz NB Freq stabilized yet with these Samsung's.
Here's a snip of MaxxMem with the 4233MHz and 3211MHz with the Ripjaws listed in rig sig. There's also a link in my sig for more info on MaxxMem. If there's anything else I can help with feel free to PM me.

Thank you Sandman !

I am going to buy "Gskill RipjawX 2x4GB 2133-CL11-11-11-30-2T 1.5v". I only want to run DRAM at 1600-1700Mhz with lowest achievable timings.

As I've experienced my 1055T's IMC doesn't seem to have any problem running memory at lower latency. I've done 1706Mhz 7-9-7-23-1T (3200CPU-NB) with my old Adata 1333 CL9. But that was completely unstable mad.gif . Here in India, there are many high frequency RAMs available, but I couldn't find any one which have CL7 or CL8. That is why I want to buy those ripjawx. Also my board doesn't have any problem running base clock at 300-320Mhz. (I've even done 325 but that was completely unstable no matter what voltage you set).

My overclock settings will be CPU at 4.1Ghz (304 x 13.4), DRAM at 1620MHz (304 x 5.33) 6-8-6-20 or 7-9-7-23-1T. No problem, CPU is stable at 1.525v at BIOS and 1.456v at load.
As you are seeing these kits are 2133 CL11,
do you think these RAMs would be able to perform at 1600-1700Mhz at CL6 or CL7 at least ?

CL8 maybe.... more likely CL9 at best.
I've tried tightening my http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231435 at 16-1700MHz and found they perform much better in the intended freq range. In my case 9-11-9 @ 2006MHz.
You might be better off staying with 12800 (1600 CL8) and tighten those with the 1055 IMHO. To take full advantage of these 2133MHz kits you need an FX, that's where they will really shine.

athlon ii x3 and G skill 4gb sticks 1600mhz 9-9-9-24

I have them both installed in DIMM 2 & 1 as per manual statements. They are both in Memtest running at 1333mhz and are on their 3rd pass with no errors, if i put them in 1600 i can bet my last note that it will hard lock memtest and BSOD my rig.

Does the athlon chips have any sort of memory limit? my board is a UD5, and i'm pretty sure the corsair domins in my brothers rig run at 1600mhz but he has a phenom ii x 6 1090t

dims are labeled CPU socket << dim 4<< dim 2<< dim 3<< dim1 for dual channel to work you can either use dim 4&3 or Dim 1&2 NOTE the order i listed here.

unlike most mobo's these ones are not labeled linearly, and well its not color coded for dummies.

Also in the bios did you turn off c1e? can your memory support higher speeds? did you manually set the timings in the bios?

Yes to everything you said, and i put the sticks in DIMM 1&2 and its just passed memtest and test number 5....
Crap, lesson learned!
The manual states that in order to use 2 Sticks in dual channel they need to be placed into DIMM 1&2. the reason that my Stick gave the impression it was dead in DIMM 1 was due to the fact it wasn't set up in the bios to allow 160ms for DIMMs 1 & 2.

So basically i hope that my posts help out others, i'm going to be buying another domain soon to start a blog on tech hopefully to again help new people to building PCs etc. I thought i'd fried my RAM so badly when it kept locking up memtest, it proves that everyone should read the manual for their boards really.

Ah well, i know a few things but not everything and i'm happy to have gained some knowledge, on the plus side i dont need a hair cut now! hahaha

Seems like if the modules are over 4 GB in size or if more than 2 sticks are used you can only run 1333 in auto.
This has been my experience with the FX-8150 on the UD7 board. If I use a Phenom II 970 or 980 I can run everything at 1600.
IIRC, this is an issue with the memory controller on the FX chip.

Thanks for your input on the memory modules over 4GB Wild Wally. I have been contemplating buying a 16GB (2 X 8GB) of memory at some point. I was planning on going up to 24GB (by having one 8GB kit and one 16GB kit) of RAM on my board. This would be for use as a RAM drive of course. I might be upgrading my processor to one the upcoming Piledriver-based CPUs in the future, I hope the memory controller on it will allow me to do what I what I have been planning.

Apologies for not finding the answer to this for myself yet, but while i'm replacing the TIM on the NB shall I do the same for the VRMs or leave the pad on there? I'm replacing the plastic push pins for nuts and bolts too for a tighter fit.

Cheers.

Is up to you if you want to replace the pads on the VRM's, I didn't because it was too tedious.
¿What type of nuts and bolts are you using for the replacing of the crappy plastic push pins? I really want to the same.
