that ram is more expensive than the one i got from newegg on sale for 112 shipped. i posted it about a month ago. even retail pricing is less than the one you posted. what i got was in fact hynix chips on the ram stick, with the packaging as whatever it was.

Hi Elle,

yeah that Newegg site is great but dont ship abroad..grrr

The Ram I bought has the Hynix name on the chips but has the name Knight on it I suppose for retail purposes.

How did you get on with your ram?

I have today, "Mod" carried out by Post#2296.

Important Note the absence of the page.: Not every "RAM"Flash can.

I have 4x4GB memory modules. None of them could be flashed.

See here:




So I tried it without "flash RAM".
However, CPU still runs stable at 3.366 GHz. (on 3.5 GHz Crash 3DMark06 and WEI)

In Germany it is now 3.30 clock at night. So today only a few pictures.

This 3.5 GHz image, unfortunately crash under stress. (voltage problem):



And here are the values ​​in images with 3.366 GHz. (yet stable)









@Nando4 ----> Do you see a problem with my memory?

Thank you once more to "nando4" and the absent "2.0"!

Congratulations on some preliminary good results.

Yes. Your RAM is running 5-5-5-15 (333Mhz) timings, but you are running RAM at 416Mhz!! That is a large RAM overclock. You want to use 6-6-6-18 (400Mhz) timings as described by 2.0 here. At the very least need to make the primary RAM timing, CAS, in the 333Mhz SPDTable entry be 6-5-5-15.

Once you slow your RAM down you might be able to get a greater overclock. It will certainly get you more stability.
Best would be if could get a stable 266@13.5=3.6Ghz, then could just do a FSLx PLL pinmod so would not have to run setpll.

@nando4

I have in my previous post still inserted a picture. (top)
It shows one of the failures of the "flash RAM". EPROM is read only.
I can not add other entries.

Do you think it is dangerous for my RAM?
The system is stable at 3.366 GHz.
Should I reduce the "FSB" anyway?

You have to test to see if it's stable at 250Mhz FSB.

If you wanted to slow down RAM timings you just need to set ONE RAM module to run 6-5-5-15 or 6-6-6-18 timings. The chipset will then set the slowest RAM timings for the system.

Is there a HDX9000 owner in Berlin that would swap a flashable 4GB RAM module with you?

[RickiBerlin]

@nando4

I know of no other HDX owner in Berlin.

I must still have questions.
Could my RAM be corrupted? Based on my current settings.

I 3.366 GHz are not as important as the I swap the RAM.
I would prefer drosseln.Ich have to know whether this is mandatory.
There is no instability even with the settings.

So, you mean the RAM could suddenly go into failure?

Moral Hazard had the same problem as you. He could not flash his RAM. Seems some modules are read-only. If you are stable with your current RAM timings then you have some very good quality RAM. Or can decrease the BCLK value you set your PLL with 'setpll hdx9000 [BCLK]' until find the system is stable.

[RickiBerlin]

@nando4

Yes, and of this quality I have exactly 4 pieces. (Hynix)

All I know is, unfortunately, still do not know "whether my settings" endanger the RAM.

I will try to bring in the experience. I do not like to make my RAM broken.
Maybe I find the answer somewhere.
I'm certainly not the first one with this problem.

A crash with 250 other I still had not. Despite all Sresstests.

Now that's what I call o'clocked

Schöne Arbeit!
