If the timing is too tight , u may loosen some timings to 3.

nailed the culprit...i think i got a bad stick...tried one stick at a time...1st one can do 220@2226 with 3.20vdimm...ran for 10hrs...no error...the second one...at 200@2226 with 3.20vdimm...70K of errors without finishing a single round...i did full test...so, set the timing down to the spd...200@2.5338 with vdimm 3.20v...same results...tons of errors...i tested it on yellow dimm...so changed to orange...same result...using 510-2 bios which is optimized for bh5/utt type of rams
and also...that bad stick couldnt load windows at spd...always got that SOB BSOD screen...now using windows using the good stick...aiya...hate to do the RMA thingy...

weh din....max 2-2-3-6 lar...3.5 aledi oso cannot...kipas smlm...make my ram fro, 70c to 40 only woooo....kena lagi semalam aku nyer jari....aduhhhhhhhhh

mine is not that hot...i set my 120mm cpu fan to max...air downawrds...with xp120...the fan not only cooling the cpu...but the ram and pwm as well...

The xp120 doesnt cool your ram as good as putting a 80mm fan onto the fan directly....

i put a 80mm smartfan2 @ 4000rpm to cool down the ram.

I'm lucky to get good sticks.

if managed to RMA, this is my second time RMA with RAM...first time was my Corsair but got back TCCD
not very lucky with RAM I guess...

of course it's not...
but i've yet to do that...still thinking the best way of putting the fan above the ram...other than using spiderman to hang it over...

i spiderman lar....when blowing sure goyang goyang...hahahahah

I make it lying on the ram...make a 45 degrees...hehehe....it wont shake or watever, even when i set to full speed at 5800rpm.

finally got my rig up and running after more than a month out of commision

now got two things to play with.... sempron palermo and gskill LE

I know that a lot of people here and about have been complaining about later A64s being crap overclockers or running hot. If you are such a person, you may want to check the heatshield of the processor with a straight-edge. I had a 05 A64 come into my hands and found that it wasn't the greated thing since sliced bread. When re-mounting the block I noticed that the Thermal paste hadn't spread completley on the centre of the IHS. When I cleaned it and held it upto the light with a straight edge I could see light between the edge and the IHS, the IHS was concave in the centre!


So I got out my micromesh and after a good few hours of rubbing the IHS on a piece of glass I got down to a flat surface.

It made a massive difference, the temps fell around 5 degrees and the overclockability went up by a good couple hundred Mhz.

So if you have problems, I suggest you give this a try. I'd post pics, but I've ran out of AS5 so I cannot remove the heatsink right now.

Guys maybe you want to check whether your IHS got the same problem.

warming up first

thanks for the info bro...mine is ok i think since at stock voltage...it's 29-30c...

mebbe we got the cincu UTT kots...uwaaaaaaaaaa....summore no gurantee also what...thats why its cheap...not cheap interm of per stick...cheap compare to those platinums....

uwaaaaaa....now OCZ memtest running at 2.9v@2.5-3-3-7 200mhz 200HTT X 5...ram temp 39-45c....no fans....stock condition test only voltage higher.....see how it goes...this mornin left for work no error for 9 hours aledi...start yerterday nite b4 sleep.....

well bro...u have to live with that...and mine is going for RMA...hope to get back a better ones...how far have push the utt? or r u just starting the testing/burning?

as in ur case u got a bad stick....me however are stick which are bad on overclock but runs well on stock speed...so how to RMA...

wished it failed on memtest at stock speed so i can RMA it...hahahaha.....but at the sticker it stated 2.5-3-3-7 but in CPUZ the default value is 2.5-3-3-8...hmmmm can saman OCZ for the misleading info ahh????hahahahha...

wanna be the first malaysian to saman OCZ...kakekekkeke...

same here...diff reporting between the two...but which one u should saman...ocz or cpuz
i just got the RMA # from ocz...the item need to reach them within 15 days from the date of issuance...awaiting for din to feedback...

Its normal for RAM manufacturers to do that, OZC pc3200 EL rated timing is at 2-2-2-5, but SPD rated it at 2-3-3-8 if im not mistaken. But then if you can run at the rated timing SPD timing is no big deal. Antonio try burning in again, this time with high vdimm and loose timing. Dont forget to put some active cooling on the RAM.

see....sum guy from OCZ forum replied aledi...

see a few weeks first what happen.....

no need active cooling...biar burn until black...then can bcome mushkin LL Black....hahahahaha....
