    Must say I'm mightily (*sp) with OCZ... Sent ram for RMA 2 weeks to the day ago, and today 2 brand new sticks have just turned up on my doorstep.
    They seem so far to be much better than my old sticks, have them at 230, 2.5,3,3,11 so far on 3.0v.. oh no prime has just failed dammit!
    That beats the other pair hands down (maxed at 215, 2,3,2,11)
    Great service, prompt replies and a free case sticker, what more could you ask for (apart from 250; 2,2,2,11 but cant have it all!)

    Dammit it appears this 1800 just doesnt like FSB :( needs a fair whack more voltage to get it stable than it did before... on 226 atm, but with a little hike, sure she'll do 230 :D

    I'm getting there I'm getting there :p Wanna find out what she'll do first....!

    I have, and its pig slow atm :( like 50 secs to superPi and a snip over 15k on 3dm01.... Low mem bandwidth appears to be the cause, 3200mb/s ish on 89% efficiency :(

    Oh FFS! Cant get this sodding thing stable AT ALL...
    Ram passes memtest no prbs 10 loops nothing, in windows it fails prime after ~10 secs dammit. CPU has run fine at these speeds before, have backed off the FSB to see if that helps and still nothing :(

    Anyone got any ideas?

    seems odd, my (DUT3C) does 1.75 stable at 169fsb and 211fsb, same speeds basically (169=2112 211=2110) :p

    try upping to about 1.85 and see if they helps and loosen ram timings alot, just to see ;).

    211 is my board limit, doesn't like 212 since its a damn via, locked pci

    Appear to have sorted the mem bandwidth issues as well, disabling LAN and usb2 gives 3590 odd 95% eff in sandra, with CPC on, and gettin 3480odd with CPC off. much better than the 3200's that were coming from it before..... :rolleyes:
