Thanks Honda I'll give it a go! :D:good:

Wow. Stick of RAM came in and I'm guessing its not compatible with my mobo. Sad thing its I ordered another one that will be here in a few days. Looks like I dropped $170 for nothing. Maybe the stick is just bad and the next one will work. Time to play another waiting game. Sure was wanting to get in on this contest but won't be able too.

the ram stick didn't boot?

mobo? bios?

Computer turns on and stays on. Nothing but black screen. Shut her down, pop in my Mushkin and everything is fine. BIOS is set to default. Even tried going into the BIOS with the good stick of RAM and setting the volts to 1.65, timings loose and set to 1333. No luck.

MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3
RAM - Super Talent 2133 cas 8
BIOS - The Latest & Greatest

Gigabyte's website shows RAM being supported up to 2400 but not by Super Talent. This is the 1st time I have ever experienced anything like this. Usually when I run into RAM problems I get the dreaded beeps. Dunno if that applies to non compatible RAM.


EDIT: I quit computers. Going to go lay down and lick my wounds.

some days that is the best solution bro .......... bro

it will be there taunting you ...... (evil laugh)

Well I powered it on and let it run. After about 30 seconds it powers off and powers back on. It will continue on this endless loop as long as I will let it. Now I'm going to lay down and rest my neck. Good luck to all. Later.

endless loop means the bios is in stupid mode....clear cmos with a flat screw driver...while power is off at the psu...

Cleared CMOS, pulled battery, etc. No luck.

which slot you using

Tried both. Doesn't matter what slot as either or worked with my Mushkin. Can't call it. Will know more when the other stick arrives. Come Thursday I will try this stick out on the HTPC when the wife is at work to see if it is the stick or the MOBO. :D

is thermal electric cooling allowed?
never asked

Cooling limits were revised fairly early on Kiki. Anything goes down to +15c, cold air, cold water, ect..Just stay away from dice and LN2, capiche?

Updated my times! I got no chance with my ram getting anywhere in SPI but I swear to god that by tomorrow I have a PiFast run ready to take the first spot. I hope you doods don't have backups and let the little guy enjoy himself for a day or two. I have been banging on this PiFast for days now to the point where I developed a sick love relationship to the BSOD! :D

lol addict ... iplay no backup games ...my pifast maxes out at xx.69 ..i'm relying on my spi32m :D

Hey I thought the CPU Tweaker was working but its not. Look at the picture? What gives?

did you try changing your tRFC? 60->55 for example. its not greyed out. so it should be changeable

Where the "space locked" thing is I can change the value but it wont apply. :Dizzy:

thats weird either your missing some os stuff......or

try cpu tweaker 1.3. its what i used. we use the same mobo and 901 bios.

Change your BIOS

I can only imagine I disable something in the BIOS which locks it now for me. Can you give me a screenie of the CPU options the way you have it set up?


Honda has the same board and BIOS and it works for him. :Dizzy:

i don't really know what electric cooling is categorized in :Dizzy:

Do you mean Peltier/Tec cooling? Also Rom told you that the idle temp can not be lower than +15C. Further it was stated that cooled air or chilled water can be used and that's it. :thumbsup:

Ohhh my mistake thought he wassaying TRY that bios...

Interesting...

I dont think I can handle any more BSOD's, locked windows but no improvement in scores, taking time out till the comp. is over or I get a new set of Ram....

Yeah he is using a different version of CPU Tweaker though. I need to try that when I get home. ;)

oh cool!
yeah it's a 65W Peltier with water block that i made :laughing:
i know it will not go down to 15 (prob not even 35 lol)

I went through all that crap just getting started at stock LOL

I am pretty fortunate on BSODs so far (guess I am not pushing hard enough :)) 4.5 is easy though on the classified.

I turned settings down to somethin I considered easy on the system... (went to 7-7-7 1700 and 3400 uncore) for testing tweaks... so trying out different tweak techinques at about .5 seconds slower than my best time :s )


Man I cant wait to get home finish my testing and see if I can even come close to what you guys are pulling :)

:laughing::laughing:
i think everyone is on the same boat

H&R

1. sync mode: disabled
2. memory configuration protect: disabled <---this might be IT

you sir are a NHERD!!! LOL i meant that in a good way.....:thumbsup:

Oh yeah HC good looking out that MUST be it for HR :)

Thank you for your help once again! I'll check on this as soon as I get home from work.

Agreed on this one! A full addict!

I hope so! Tired of rebooting every time when I want to tighten the sub timings.

:shock: you guys are not doing it?!
i thought everyone is using thermal electric with there water block :Dizzy:

and yes sir indeed i am a NHERD =)

this is what ido :D

xp boot up sorta makes sure my cpu and ram are stable :D LOL

i prolly done 200 reboots with the ram subtiming combinations ....LOOOOOL

what is this guy doing here?

http://www.hwbot.org/signature.img?i...se&iehack=.jpg

2 motherboards
2 setups
raiding?

i did watercooling..even had 3 quad rads in one loop lol..crazy..but never really tried tec....good luck with the peltiers...make sure it doesn't go too cold...so you can still oc for the competition...

Looks to me like he is using a second PC to power up some PCIE hard drives (whether SSDs or RAM drives I can not tell from that picture... )

looks like dinos22's clamps.

i'm guessing...

left setup is for gigabyte ramdisks...
middle board is acard 9xxx

this is for pcmark05 damage...

gotcha! :thumbsup:

i really don't think it'll beable to take it under 15 tho.. last time i used it, it was on a Q6600 and it's like 30~36C i can't remember the dead on numbers anymore but it was really stable :D

i see those PCIE high end SSDs that's like $$$$
