Help with TwinMOS

I bought 256x2 DDR400 Twinmos Ram today.

The default sttings were 2.5-3-3-8.

I could bring it to 2.5-3-3-6..thats it..if i change anything else..i either get errors in memtest+ or the comp fails to start. Should keep these new settings?..i dint see any performance diff anywhere :S
 
p4 2.4HT (northwood), intel 865GBF, 256x2 twinmos ddr400, big 6600gt, 40+80 cuda hdds, powersafe 400W

the sticker on the ram stick says : M2G9108A-MK

 
BTW,what exactly are you trying to achieve with Intel 865GBF ?? may i know ?

anyways it would be better if you could post a pic of your ram or mention the entire model no. on the white sticker.

But from teh CPU-Z screeny, it seems to be a CADT,which is based on PC Chips or some similar crap.They are not very good overclockers.

Also to run the RAM at tight timings,the chips shoudl be capable to do so and they might need more Vdimm than stock 2.6V
 
^^ planning to get an ASUS 865 based board next month..mabbe something better then.

anyway..its a CADT ..M2G9108AMK9F081CADT..

if thats a crappy chip..cant help now...had to spend over two hours to find a shop where ppl atleast know that a company called twinmos or transcend exists:cry:
 
See if there are two dimples on the ram chips. If there are dimples, then its winbond UTT else its powerchip. Infact even the powerchip shud hit 250MHz @2.5-4-4-7 at around 2.8V.
 
Powerchip are actiually better overclockers than other cheap rams we get here.

Darky is used to OCZ VX for long time now, so for him powerchip is crap ;) :P

Anyway.

The weird thing about CADT is it will do CL2.5 at even 240-250Mhz. But it wont do CL 3 even at 200. It hates higher CL. It simply wont boot.

And what else do u expect from Twinmos. 2.5-3-3-6 is the best it can do. Not anything lower and it will do it even at 2.6V.

@ Chaos: Its definately the CADT/Powerchip. The CPU-Z screenie, and the sticker both say so :)

Hehe when I posted... the CADT thing wasn't known to me :). I shud have looked at the cpu-z screenie more carefully though... Yeah powerchip is good for the price you pay... it'll do 2.5-4-4-X @ 250 on low voltages.
