Anyone here using kingston value ram 667? Just wanna ask, why my ram doesnt read as 333 MHz speed in cpu-z, instead it reads 299.4Mhz. Why????(i loaded optimized default in bios for my default setting)

I just bought a pair of supertalent ram. The thing is, its default timing read from my mobo bios is 5-5-5-15 instead of 4-4-3-8. WHYYYY???

pls sumone help.

I DID. and guess what, it wont boot. I add vdimm till 2.35V stil wont boot at 4-4-3-8. WHYY????

bro shawty. I managed to boot at 4-4-3-8 after adding voltage sampai 2.45 V. This is strange.

Is there any foul play here bro. You know, perhaps sumbody sold me a faulty RAM?

After done some research bout this supertalent ram, now i know that it is an SPD ram. SPD stands for Serial Presence Detect, which is the firmware for a memory module. Basic information on the module like manufacturer, clock speed, latency values, capacity, and architecture are programmed by the module manufacturer in a small EEPROM chip on the module. When your system boots up, this data is fed into the brains of your system so it knows what memory you have installed. So bassically, this SPD will set the lowest value for the ram when it is initially installed so that it'll work in any mobos.

Managed to boot at 2.2V. Now runnig at 962 Mhz with its default aggressive 4-4-3-8 timing. Very satisfied with it. It's not a faulty ram after all.


Correction: Needed to boot at 2.4V tho to make its stable at 4-4-3-8. Running orthos 5 hours now and no error whatsoever. But still, the vdimm is quite high for my supertalent to reach 968Mhz tho. Most website reviewing this supertalent ram only used vdimm around 2.1 to achieve that speed using aggressive timing of 4-4-3-8. Stil makes me feel strange tho

How do you know mine is promos? Was the ram yours before mr.shawty?

Nway, I dropped a bit fsb, made my cpu running at 2.835Ghz no added vcore, and run my ram to 945Mhz 4-4-3-8-11 @ 2.2V. That's 0.2 of vdimm decrement. The performance dont really decrease that much tho. Only lost 0.05 seconds in super pi 1M compared to 968Mhz 2.9Ghz system.

Now im sticking with this setup. My ram wont go that hot la with 2.2V and it's stil in its recommended vdimm.

Now i get it.
It was from you>ahsiah>ijan_hackers>me

Nway bro, mine to tell me how much u sold last time around?

The great table provided by soulfly and also in am2 thread gives people a hint and clue b4 start buying hardwares. Well, it helped me a lot back then.
