| OCZ EL DDR PC4000 Gold VX Memory Review Goldfinger is back... with a vengeance. This time he has got his hands on some OCZ heat spreaders. Is it just a plated gold layer or plain gold? In other words: Will it go for the golden medal? http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=334

| 500MHz DDR CL 3-4-4-8 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS) but testing now the cas 2,5 so if they do 13 x 250 at cas 3 i am a happy b2 player With its ultra-fast performance, high quality and reliability, the OCZ PC-4000 1GB Gold Edition is the perfect memory upgrade for memory-hungry Battlefield 2 gaming rigs. Sounds like a nice bench

| OK, I finally found some time to test these beauties and here are my results: 1) 200MHz (up to 220MHz) - The tighest possible timings, with 'only' 3.1V, no other motherboard setting changed: 2)250MHz - The best timings at the memory's max rated frequency (PC4000) with 3.3V and active cooling of course (a 120mm fan): 3)260MHz - The best timings at what seems to be the limit for me, with 3.4V: As you can see only -Trtw- is losened and just by a knot. ================================================ All timings were tested on hours of playing Far Cry 1.33 . I was too impatient to run the Memtest of the DFI board. My rig: no case, AMD 3800+ X2, XFX 7800GT (drivers 82.65 XG + 83.90 XG), DFI nF4 Ulta-D (drivers 6.70), WD 74GB Raptor, WinXP SP2 + latest updates. ================================================ And now for the strange facts. Anything above 260MHz seems to be unstable for me. Unless of course I am being too strict with my timmngs. Also, -Trfc- simply refuses to go below -14- above 220MHz. At Madshrimps reviews it stays happily at -12- even at 275MHz with 2-2-2-5 timings! (unless that wasn't the case but you didn't give the final A64 Tweaker snapshot of the stable overclock). If I am (or not) please give me your advise for a stable 260+MHz clock. |

| I am not complaining. Up to 260MHz I am very pleased. I wasn't expecting o be able to do 2-2-2-5 as that speed! I guess I'm just being difficult. petervandamned: What do you mean 'the PhCh for cpu' ? And what kind of fans did you have cooling the memory? |
