Buffalo pc3700.......Timings are everything!

[Titan7171]

Ive been reading up on these boards and saw somone say to keep it off the 3's so I set my 512mb stick at 233mhz ,11,2,2,2.5 and set the volts to 2.8 and it started right up..........now running at 11,2,2,2@230mhz and completed 500 sandra memory burn in .......dont know why its so particular..........

anyway its working ok ............thanks for the info posted here!

Good deal, nice overclock!

its also starts up at 5,2,2,2 and 6,2,2,2 didnt try anything lower .........got to test to see whats faster!

hey i am glad that what i said worked!!!! umm one thing it has ben reported taht 2-2-2-11 is better then 2-2-2-6 i dunno why but ppl say so.... thats cool it will boot at 5 or 6 but i would reccomend 11 like i said before....glad that what i said helped!!!!

[Titan7171]

its running right now at 3,2,2,2 @230mhz@2.9v.......and I scored 3300 points in sandra......all the other settings got me 2990's.....Im going to keep on testing to see whats best I feel like I would rather have my fsb at 240 and run slower timings than to run 230 at faster timings........what do you guys think?

you're lucky to boot at 3-2-2-2. I would not run faster than 5-2-2-2- you're risking corruption under that. just my two cents.

I'd losen the timings a little.

hey I broke 3507/3208 @ 236mhz fsb.......on sandra memory bandwidth.......working great..........put it to 11,2,2,2 for now as Im still testing

Is that HD corruption??..........I should run a scandisk just in case then!

[boardsportsrule]

lol!!! tight that is awsome...i wish some other ppl on here were to realize this before posting thier whining complaints...

[Titan7171]

I guess people figure it should work at sd timings or loosre timings I never heard of ram insist to run at the fastest timings........I also complained about this ram but decided to give it another try.......and it worked out great........need to do a voltmod on my board now .........thanks boardsportsrule it was really your post that helped ...........also now I dont have to go through the trouble of an rma!

Only 11-2-2-2??

Mine is 3 days old and skipping along at 7-2-2-2 @ 2.9v, interface enabled, 6/6 @ 215 FSB. I'll drop it down to 6-2-2-2 when I install it in the case for good. I looped it for a few hours on a cardboard box the other night to check it out. It passed everything so far- just taking baby steps up to 225FSB- I hope.

Higher T(RAS) = better performance for most people. You should try it. Check the sticky above.

Anybody tried them pc4200 buffalo yet??
