EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Im in europe.
The crucials (hurrah) would work out just a little more expensive than getting them from a friend in the US.
They do have ballistixs(in europe)rated/sold as 8500 but they are the 1gb sticks.
Managed to get the PI.s up to 1020 for full testing,well 1.5hrs of prime after 1 memtest pass.tREF of 6**** (had to set it after boot into windows)but no breakthru and that isnt much use to me.
I suppose I just want to see how far the cpu will go.
and maybe get 9Gb bandwidth stable.
Im not going to spend the $300 for the black PI 9200 ddr2 tho for 200mhz cpu speed

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Are they the 2.0V sticks, the Crucial's I mean? The 6400's would do just as good as the 8500's, I ran them above 1200

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

I believe so
DDRII upgrades from Crucial.com

from the list: obviously if i was buying 2x1 id go for the ones that "say" 8500 as the price is almost the same.
Ill go ahead n order something on Mon based on whether I just want to see 3.6Ghz+ cpu under test for 30 euro or go 55 euro n sell my black pi or samsung 5300.

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Ya, you might as well since they are likely binned better anyway.

About your link, that only takes me to crucial with the full page of 88 showing. But the only 2x1GB 8500 I see is 2.0V You can check the voltage to be sure by clicking on a single module link. Are you buying direct from them?

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

yeh buying direct,they seem to be the only supplier (of their ram) in europe.
The link goes down to 6 of 88 after a few secs for me but anyway all of the 6 yellow ballistix seem to be 2.0v.

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Ahh, well it didn't for me but that maybe because I am in the US? OHH wait, it worked for me just now! Funny, it did not the other day, and ya I knew I had to wit for it to update... Oh well

Ya, I do believe all the new ones they would be shipping would be 2.0V anyway

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

I could get 530fsb on air(maybe)with different memory,but i havent seen a quad post anywhere(on UD3) running more than 550fsb (1:1)at 7+ cpu multiplier(stable),not many duals either and thats just for world records :)
Im not to thrilled on recent dual posts not even getting my fsb on the crucial.
Ill be happy enough on 500-510 fsb,500 will be good enough because it doesnt need a big volt jump,it should last until the memory/cpu becomes dirt cheap.
Im lucky in a way.id hoped for 3.5Ghz and got that within a day or two.
3.57 is doable now,maybe 3.6 but ill hold as it is i think and maybe go tweaking for bandwidth.thx all.
Btw Im assuming lsd that the 540/550 fsb with crucials youve tested is not with quads on ud3 on air?

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Na, all my tests are done on water. I have not used a Air cooler for few years

The Crucial testing was done with a E3110, no quad 775's here as I never liked them. The only Quad I have is a i7, and I would have wanted a dual one of those as well but they do not make them..... yet?

Sounds like you may need a better cooler

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Well since w/c or phase would be more than the cpu upgrade cost ill pass for now
If I ever decide to adapt an old refrigerator compressor and build a vapor cooling kit ,ill post here

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Get a Thermalright Ultra 120, how do those compare to the V8 anyway?

[kick]

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

Well heres a review good for the V8 vs the thermalright.
Legion Hardware
The next review might show the thermal or noctua as being the best on a particular setup,but I dont think changing (air) coolers is going to make that much diff to me.
Full load hottest core temps(core0) for me on V8= 62-65 (490-505fsb)
Right now its fsb and im like 90% sure its the memory(good tho it is),that wont run any higher on any multiplier.
The cpu might not have that much left in it either,but both it and mch volts are a lot further from the danger zone.
The catch 22 is no one is really using their memory at 530fsb+,they dont need to/its easier not to.

edit:
I eventually found something semi specific to my situation
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P OC Reivew

This guy used some 10000 (1300mhz ram) from corsair it seems.
(He used corsair 8500 for the 500mhz fsb)
Then he switched to 2x1gb sticks of 1300mhz memory?
He gets 517fsb, the max I can get for safe testing is 507 ish.
He reckons 517 is fairly close to max on air for Q8200.
That feels right,maybe 520-525?
This 1300mhz memory he was using has an epp at 2.4v,same as the 1066,sounds high.
I cant find this 10000(1300mhz) mem on sale,somehow i dont think were talking $30.
I might need 8800(1100mhz) stuff at least.
Either way Id have to clock back for everyday use,maybe 510mhz,which isnt much more than what Im running now.
o/c on 7 multiplier is a dying art

Re: EP45-UD3 +1066 memory?

YA, I think all that about sums it up for that CPU. I bet there is a comparison of the two coolers, but I bet you are right anyway a degree or three would not matter.

Ya even most dual core users who run 540+ FSB only do it for benching anyway, not something I would buy $150-200 ram for
