not everyone will run fine with 3120..

for TCCD 3072 works great and if i'm not mistaken kakaroto (g.skill rep) said to use 1.95us for benching

like i say there is no best tref for any ram.. i tested a few pairs of UTT and a few TCCD and TCC5 and not all of them like the same trefs

3120 is popular for UTT/BH-5
3072 is popular for TCCD/TCC5

i usually try all the trefs when i have time to do extensive testing..

those settings are for stock tho.. cause some TCCD are not binned for 2-2-2-5.. so some might not run those speeds.. if u have like a 3200xl of F1 modules from G.skill then u can run those speeds or tighter than what kianwee has posted

his RAM is 3200C2v4.1 which is TCCD if he checked it correctly and made sure it's TCCD

3200C2v4.1 4.2 4.3 are TCCx modules...

for higher speeds run something like this

200
enable
2.5
3 <-- change to 4 if it's not stable
7
3
7
16
2
2
2
2
3072
1

skew decrease 128 <-- if not stable
drive = 1 3 5 7 or auto
data = 1 2 or auto .. 3 is too strong
MAL = 7 (try 8 or 9 if u plan to do 300HTT or more)
dram response time = normal
RP = 5 (try 6 or 6.5 and see which one gives u more stability in superpi)
idle cycler limit = 16 (loosen it if it's not stable slowly until 256)

check ur venice and look for the stepping..

try some of this

flash to 618-2 bios
use yellow slots for ram

UTT with active cooling i'd say 3.4-3.5 for 24/7 use..
processor on stock heatsink 1.5-1.58max

if lazy then i don't think DFI board is suitable for u.. give it some time and tweak it..

the new DFI NF4 SLI-DR is adapting ATI Grouper board's power regulator design so they won't have the JP17 jumper to enable 4v anymore..

A64 memory controller does not work with CAS1.5

it only recognises CAS 2, 2.5 and 3 so running 1.5 is more or less useless

something for u guys to read about CAS1.5
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69242

and to think that a company like Geil actually makes memory modules rated at 1.5-2-2-5 and shows a memtest screenshot with a x4 multiplier and 300mhz 2-2-2-5 is really incredible.. what a big con job..

u sure???
check the link below...

even there is some 1 using 3.3V...

i think he is quite sure there..

so far i've only seen a few TCCD do high FSB 2-2-2-x timings.. and it's not recommended for 24/7 usage

for TCCD 2.6-2.9v is the optimum value..

tho some TCCD weeks can take more voltage and get higher..

and generally giving it more voltage doesn't mean it will give memtest less errors.. undervolting and overvolting can cause alot of errors for TCCD modules.. that is why there is a mod for the DFI boards to have a pot to control vdimm in smaller steps.. and only give the amount of vdimm u need..

you can check bigtoe's testing.. he did 300mhz easy with 2.66v + Samsung TCC5 on a modded DFI board with a pot to fine tune the vdimm

if u have D43 then skip DFI..

hynix + DFI have some issues

QUOTE
I'm quite sure that most of the tccd doesn't like 3.0V above...
some even cause more crash...

but for some reason i hv put my vdimm to more than 3V...

hving a 2-2-2-5 @ 210 on 2.9V cause more than 1k error on memtest #5.
and it would only error free at 3.2V...
weird isn't it?


TCCD at 2.9-3.0v runs as hot as bh-5 at 3.4v

and what's the point running TCCD at 2-2-2-5 anyway? and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't need 3.2v to get 210 2-2-2-5.. the TCCDs i have needs only 2.8v to get 210 2-2-2-5

there will be difference.. but i don't think the difference is much..

the huge difference comes when u want to clock BH-5 modules as the DAGF does not allow more than 3.2v for memory
