[Subsider]

2x512 sticks pc3700 el gold rev2 it seems i cant tight up my timmings anymore they are set to 3 4 4 7 is this the best i can expect @ ddr 500 ? vdimm is set @ 2.65 i cant raise vdimm at all without memtest giving errors
thanks

OCZ PC3700 Gold rev2 is based on same chips as OCZ PC3500 Gold and doesn't like high vdimm, optimal vdimm and max mhz will be at 2.6-2.7v vdimm with 2.5-3-3-7 timings

for 250+ mhz you may need 2.5/3 -3-3-7 to 2.5/3 -4-4-8 timings depending on motherboard

here's some one benchmarks i had on AI7

Memory was very picky about GAT settings didn't like Turbo or anything at all!

at > 233mhz i have to use NB Strap of 800FSB which disables PAT and the scores drop. This one limitation of the AI7 board.

vcore = 1.675v
vdimm = 2.9v (windows 2.85-2.87v)
vAGP = 1.65v

GA = AUTO
Refresh Cycle Time = Enhanced
Read Delay = AUTO
Read Delay Adjust = Disabled
Command Per Clock = Disabed

NB Strap = 800FSB

Thanks Eva

i will keep testing but this seems to be my limit although i can get FSB up to ddr504 with the same timmings my scores dont seem to change and my temps go up 3-4c on the cpu and NB 4-5c so i run @ ddr 500
i think if i did a droop mod on my board i could lower my vcore from 1.675 (over volts to 1.71) to 1.65 then i beleave i could get alittle more FSB without the added heat i can run turbo and preformance modes with no problems . turbo seems to give my scores a nice little boost !
