OC3D Review Mushkin Redline Ridgeback 998826

[MushkinSean]

Taurus,

The setting you were looking for is DRAM Read to Pre Time(TRTP) it should be manually set to 8 for memory frequencies over DDR3-1800.

From what you are describing I don't believe that is the issue however, sounds more likely that the Uncore is unstable.

Now thats service

I went back to my previous cpu oc of 3.7ghz and OCZ ram at 1866mhz, and stable as any thing prime95's ok and plays MOH ok!! I'll have another go over the weekend. Think I may need to up the cpu voltage from 1.275v to a higher figure. I will give it a go in small increments. I'll check out some of the other posts in the overclocking section for some more tips.

What CPU do you have?

quick one - if the ram is at 1600 the uclk needs to be 3200 (twice the value) same with mem at 2000 the uclk needs to be 4000

ALSO make sure your tRTP is set to 8 as I said before, thats the crucial thing if you want to go to 2000.

If the ram is running at 1866 thats above the 1600 rated anyways so as we said its fine

You just need to fine tune now your overclocking.

Thanks guys

CPU is an I7 920 Do stepping (OEM), stable at 3.7ghz with OCZ PC3-15000 running at 1866mhz so no OC on the memory

I'll re-install the Mushkin and give the settings above ago and let you know what happens.

Guys,

Was working on this to stupid O'clock this morning and think I'm making head way so far have got CPU to 4ghz and ram at 1600mhx 6.8.6.24 stable. Will do some more work on this later today, as I want to get it really stable then try 2000mhz. Was a bit confused over uncore then found out that ASUS calls that QPI/DRAM, have set this to 1.35v at present with Ram at 1.64v.

Would like to say thanks again for help/pointers, its great to be able to get feed back so quick and from peple who know what they are talking about.

Right mate. One more time.

QPI - 1.5 to 1.55v

Uncore = UCLK that needs to be set to twice the ram speed. its a frequency.

In the ram timings the tRTP needs to be set to 8 (its a little bit down the list of timings)

Ram set to 1.66v.

If you do what we say it will work you are not setting everything correctly

PLEASE read what we are posting fella.

Thanks got it now sorry for the confusion

 

[Taurus]

ta da!

 

[tinytomlogan]

ta da!

Awesome dude, easy when you listen isnt it!

Now you just need to get it 100% stable at the lowest possible volts and you are done

 

[Taurus]

Thanks again

Sorry for starting up an old thread.

I have just hooked up this kit.

Could I just check that a QPI voltage should be around 1.5v for anything over the rated 1600Mhz?

If you read the thread dude you may need over 1.5v for 2000mhz.

But please read all the posts as there is a lot of other information you will need.

Yep Read that and viewed you Vid review. Very helpful, thanks m8.

Really enjoying this kit.

I am sorry to be going over old ground YET again but I just wanted to double check beofre I go for 2000Mhz.

Manually set tRTP to 8

QPI 1.5-1.55v

Timings/Sub Timings as per Video

Ram Volatge 1.64 - 1.66v

and see how I go?

Again sorry for asking thigns that seem to have been answered before, just wanna make sure before I get started.

Thanks

Deffo need the 1.66v rather than under the rated 1.65.

Deffo try the timings I had but remember you are overclocking and your set may be different. If anything you may just have to loosen the times off a smidge.

I still use these in the bench rig and they are rock solid @ 2000 8-9-8-24

 

[crazymilk]

Dont seem to be able to get stable at those settings/voltages.

Whats the max RAM voltage you would recommmend?

I will halt at 1.66v but will try 9-9-8-24

 

[crazymilk]

Man this stuff is just amazing..

Just dropped to 8-10-8-24 and stable.

Really really happy with RAM. Recommended to anybody.

Good to see you with the Mushkin. I got my first Mushkin on the advice of a friend who builds computers and have stuck with them ever since. Never had a problem at all and they just keep working and doing exactly what I want them to do. Great company to deal with and they are really good when you have questions. Put a question on their forum and you will almost surely have an answer from Mushkin within 12 hours at most and the people there know what they are talking about. Never steered me wrong.

Has anyone tested this exact ram from the review, on the ASUS Sabertooth? If so how did it work out?

Mobos make next to no difference but Mushkin was used in the Saber Review if you go look
