that's impressive CON list :( |

I saw that post and I remember thinking that it wasn't that big of a deal. But going through the list some things sink in and suddenly this board really looses it's appeal. problems with 512mb sticks latest bios seems to fix this --> ok this is a big prob for gaming, a little for benching 3dmark05 (hearsay) and not at all for overclocking. WARNING! do NOT use the ocz DDR booster on this board! vdimm above 2.8v will fry a mosfet and kill the board! --> bummer but not that big of a deal (yes I'm getting more confident with my Vmodding skills :p) coldboot issues, random crashes and freezes from usb hardware (mouse keyboard printer etc) --> ok this is a real big problem, sort of rules out this board for anything other then overclocking/bechmarking (bios fix?) cant run command rate 1t in slots 1&2 latest bios seems to fix this --> another biiiiig con vdimm is stuck at 2.7v and wont rise seems to work fine for some people --> Vmod cpu temperature not reading correctly seems to work fine for some people --> if it reads too high ok, if it reads too low oh oh :/ vcore ovp at 1.9v ok who needs 1.9V!! I would think only under cascade phasechange may this become a problem... only memory without a heatspreader will fit in slot1 with an xp120 --> so what, most people can clock a few mhz higher without the heatspreaders anyway and you still have bank2+4 for DC |
New GSKILL for me too! I have for the last few years used OCZ exclusively. When I got my new 3.0C SL6WK chip the clocks it can achieve. The OCZ just did not fit! I ran the 4000Gold Rev.2 with TCCD chips but it ran out of stability above 257 fsb set at 1:1 With timings of 2.5-3-3-6 It did not matter the timings it just would take a mem crap after about 1/2 hour. So OCZ traded me straight across for 3200 Platinum Rev.2. Again 257 fsb running 1:1 with the same 2.5-3-3-6 timings. Again after about an hour it would become unstable. However I could run easily at 273 fsb using the 5:4 divider for DDR433 at 2-2-2-5 timings. Less bandwidth but, great Throughput. This would give me a cpu score of about 12,500 in Aquamark. The best I ever did with the 4000 was an Aquamark CPU score of 12,654. I ordered a 512 meg set 2 x 256 sticks of OCZ EL 4200. My motherboard just hated the stuff!! No matter the voltage or the timings I could not get higher than 240fsb @ 1:1 no matter the timings! So I sent it back. I ordered a 512 kit of GSKILL 2 x 256 sticks just to play with. Well My board likes this stuff. It runs smoothly at a daily clock 0f 269 fsb 4037mhz Mem set @ 1:1 for a DDR of 538 with timings set at 2.5-3-3-6 no sweat. My Aquamark score has gone up from 12,654 to 12,937. Every bench I have run now has a new high mark. This mem is great!! I'll post up some pics now. That sandra and cpu-z show my daily clock! PCmark high score with new GSKILL Here is that new high CPU score on AQMK3 I purchased this mem from here for $140 US http://store.yahoo.com/digi4me/gs51kit2x2dd2.html Well worth it!! WZ |
