Can.... even OCZ use dos memtest.


1. Set you RAM at manufacturer rated speed, not overclocked setting. Also make sure you are using manufacturer recommended voltage setting. Other extra memory options leave at auto.
2. Go to Memtest86
3. Run test #5 for at least 500 loops
4. If no error, proceed to whole test for 6 hours at least.

No off-topic discussion plz.

same method and ram at default timing

you mean your ram got 2 rated spd?

go for the highest one

maybe memory controller issue....

because different cpu will react differently

my TCC5 does DDR600 only with 2.9Vdimm on my Palermo D0 with fsb:ram at 1:1, while on my Palermo E6, it needed only 2.7Vdimm with the same divider.

i believe it's more on the cpu rather than mobo

Team Xtreme is worth the money, price lower than other brands
OCZ is quite good too, plus their customer support is great
Nevertheless, G-Skill has one of the best

not bad, but should do more than just 250mhz ... try push to 300mhz instead.

and try use:

Trc = 7
Bypass Max = 7x
Idle Cycle Limit = 16 clks

what motherboard are u using?

if DFI, try use Tref 4708 (from the BIOS). I forgot the value in A64Tweaker.

Other than that, try Max Async Latency=8 and Drive Strength=Weak

your LDT multi?

can you put your bios setting (advanced memory timing) here?

from there we will know

yup.... the higher the frequency, the hotter it became, even with only 2.8V

2.9V is good enough. 3.0V will only make your chips hotter with no more mhz gains.

TCCD can fly high with low Vdimm provide that you are able to cool them.

you need to check your DRAM divider setting. if it's 03/2, of course you will get DDR400 if you set the HTT speed to 300MHz.

basic overclocking.

simply because you wont be able to fully utilize TCCD/TCC5 on Intel

you get amazing DDR speeds on AMD64 with TCCD/TCC5

intel's memory controller limitation

there are 2 types of TCC5 ... the old one and the new one.

the old one was RevD or RevE.... I forgot already. ..... but the newer one (which is also phased out) was RevF .... which is the same as TCCD

TCC5 Rev.F = TCCD

but TCCD was binned at 466mhz while TCCD is binned at 500mhz.... just to reduce manufacturing cost

yup.... quite good

try 2.6V or 2.7V instead

if not... try 2T, most probably your mobo not 'oomph' enough

have u ever tortured or burn-in your TCCD? if yes... that might explain it.
