23 errors on test 6

[tvdang7]

2 x 1 gb ocz gold ddr500 old kind not the new kind. im at 275 3-4-4-8 @ 2.7 volts 1T. i got 23 errors on test 6.

any suggestions or can my ram not do this 275. i remember the previous owner said he got 280.

so what is test 6?

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

what about the rest of the settings? do you have a fan over the ram? maybe his mobo is slightly better than yours? there's a crapton of variables here.. maybe we can get you up to 280mhz, maybe not. just lmk the first two questions

alright thanks man seems like ur the only one that comes to my rescue.

well here it goes. 3-4-4-8-11-16 1T 2.7 volts. and no fan ATM (damn i shoulda kept that fatal1ty an8 with the ram flow!) ima switch out with my new an8 ultra so i hope that will help in any way? just too lazy right now i have 2 exams on friday so i dont want to reformat yet.

just find a fan and try to do a bit of quick ghetto rigging to hold it in place over the ram slots.. i bet those errors will go away and it'll stabilize
if not, you can always try different dimm slots too

good luck

so what u are saying is a fan shoudl get me a few mhz? what is test 6 any way?

test 6 is test 6.

yes, definitly try a fan.. i mean, why not? it'll keep it cooler, which always helps clocks, and prolongs the lifespan of the ram. it's a win-win

omg i read what test 6 is and i have no freakin idea what it said but ok ill try to fit a fan in there some how...................... very tight fit and i dont think my power cord is that long........maybe i need a 3 pin to molex connector.

hehe, exactly why i said it's simply test 6. don't worry about what it does. just focus on getting those errors to go away

can you post a shot of your ram area in your case?

this is how i have mine set up, if you haven't already seen it

 

[tvdang7]

alright i got my fan on now eclipse. gonna mem test it soon ill keep you updated.

also what would you choose

280x10=2.8ghz 1:1 stock voltage
or 2.85ghz with a divider stock voltage (provided that the ram cant make 285 1:1 with my new fan.)

aslo i know i can just add voltage to the cpu and get a higher clock (2.92 ghz so far) and the answer would be with a divider but i just wanted to know with stock voltages.

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

i think i'd choose 280x10 with the ram at 1:1, unless you can find a way to easily get >2.9ghz without inducing too much heat

good luck bro

alright reporting back. best is 278 no errors overnight memetest. 279 gets like 4 errors. . i think ima just run a divider and go a lil higher than that. DAMN "crappy" ram.
thanks for the help eclipse.
