Have not... I dunno how to use memtest cos I think memtest only runs in DOS is it? Smtg like that... tonight I'm gonna do a Sandra burn-in and see what happens.. ciaoz guys..

U can download the floppy package from memtest-86.
It comes in an installer, very small only, around 200kb IIRC.
Then click on the installer, it will ask you to insert a floppy.
When it's done, just boot your pc with the floppy and it will go to memtest automatically.

off topic

i start feeling that someone is joining a64 club.

do memtest test 5 for at least 30 mins.

sandra burn in is ok also. but ppl usually use prime/sp2004.

Sandra Burn-In success
Prime95 stable @ 6hrs 50mins (not much time because I was going out that time, had to switch off my pc)

One thing I find abt these RAM sticks... they're really thin and small. I don't think it'll fit those RAM heatspreaders..

if i'm not mistaken, it's almost same like DDR2 chip, only using DDR1 , anyway, priming >5hrs considered ok la for that type of RAM

i think heat spreader would fit but not the RAM sink (chip per chip type)...you know what i mean...

Wah sniper69, never tot you'd be here too... so have you used Advance Modules RAM before? Hmmm ya know if you're saying that it might be like DDR2 chip... it might make sense... thats why I can get really tight timings on this baby... hmmm but sadly, my motherboard restricts my RAM speed timing. Perhaps I might experiment with my gf's Intel pc... muahehehehe *evil grin*

Then i can get 1:1 FSB to RAM speed ratio... wah~!

well, i'm on 1:1 DDR620@2.8GHz , i'm not using AdvanceModules anyway, but once xp with ValueRAM (Samsung UCCC chipset) which is awesome...
anyway, some manufacturer use this small tiny BGA (just like DDR2 module), i saw one Kingmax DDR400, Yellow PCB with Red Chip

this isn't what i saw in SriComp...


, i can't find even google around just now...

err.... i tot ddr2 should have looser timings e.g. 5-5-5-15.

well, J-Slade's statement quite confusing , anyway, actually J-Slade meant he's using DDR1 not DDR2, and the tightest DDR2 timing i ever seen is, (if i'm not mistaken) 3-4-4-8 ( that's the loosest timing for DDR!)...

bro sniper69.....
u use Team Xtream right??
what is the good timing for it??

3-4-4-8 1T at 2.8v...???

PS : btw...where is ur brother???dont see he in YM.....

yeap Team eXtreme, hmm now running daily 24/7 @3-4-4-8 1T @2.8vDIMM@DDR620
i tried tightened the timing to 2.5-4-4-8, 3-3-3-8 but failed on Priming/SP2004 , i guess it's not for tight timing though...

he and me just got back from "kenduri"

oicicic that explains a lot i remember last time i saw some cap ayam ram in thundermatch. the fella say ddr2 chip on ddr1 ram. then another shop who dun sell this ram says 'aiya... very easy ma... ddr2 667 ram fail qc so use as ddr1 400 lor...' but i end up buying nothing from them and went to dinster.

yeah...it can boot and load smoothly at that timing...but when prime will never success.....but for me never mind...already DDR600 ar.....nice ar this ram....

Anyone have any idea if I tighten the RAM timing, will it produce more heat?

if increase the voltage it will.....
if the timing....errr....not sure.....maybe it will also....

Can anyone confirm this? Does pushing to tighter timings (without incrase in voltage).... will it increase the RAM temperature?

dun think so, if increasin d speed, yes...

Hi there,may i know how to oc Ram? where i can get the software?can we view the temp of the ram?

oc the ram can be done in BIOS. viewing the temp need a sensor probe though.

by the way, how much can the KVR chip 512MB DDR400 can be oc'ed? tried at 3-4-4-8 @ 220MHz with 3-3-3-8@ 210MHz both at 2.7V the difference not that much? is it lose the timing greatly affect my speed even though at higher clock rate?
