LF Fast Gaming Ram Compatible

multisync · Apr 8, 2011

Hi,

i got my build pc running for year now and i never had more that 6gb ram and find it good for most game except Star Craft 2 intense battle lag as *** "4vs4"

My spec are
Asus P6X58D-e deluxe "non-premium" <<<----My fault it wasn't p7

Psu is a 1200W
i7-930 no overclock
ram are 6gb G-Skill F3-16000CL9T-6GBRH "3x2GB"
using 2 GTX 470 Galaxy in Sli
"no sound card" <- motherboard emulated could this be the problem that too much sound going on in intense battle taking all my cpu speed?

Star Craft 2 suggest me extreme setting for my spec i lowered it but seem to do same thing when it come to huge battle.

I'm Trying to point the main problem that can cause the lag in battle with many unit on the screen.

It cpu that too slow? i'm already using a corsair water cooling on my cpu.
not enought ram? motherboard is up to 24gb of ram
no Sound Card = bad?

Starcraft 2 is the only game that can make my video card sometime show sight of artifact "wrong floor graphic" or "orange glow arround mineral patch" maybe driver issue dunno...it rare tough if i alt tab it fix the glitch...
...
My temp of both card are 71 C and 65 C while i play.
I have lots of fan on my pc.
i've done a stress test to my cpu while ago it was 71 C max temp

It pissing me off, I would like to point what the cause of this.

Thanks you ALL for reading this. :bounce:

Maybe Network lag.

multisync · Apr 9, 2011

no because it do the same watching the replay offline...

multisync · Apr 15, 2011

Yeah humm i guess everyone has lag when many unit on the screen then....if not post ur spec please.

multisync · Apr 15, 2011

BTW Im Asking for GOOD BRAND RAM compatible with my motherboard and that best for gaming purpose...
My motherboard is
Asus P6X58D-e "non-premium"
i have 6gb on window 7 is that enough?

Wow. I would have thought that your system could play any game smoothly with high graphic settings.

You can play SCII single-player right? Does it also bog down with lots of units on-screen when playing alone versus the computer?

If it does, I would suggest trying the newest graphics card drivers. They have version 270.51 beta drivers available. I'm using them and they work great for me, though I don't play SCII yet -- after looking at the game's site, I think I'll be buying it after I get paid tomorrow.

If it doesn't bog down in large single-player battles, then your problem is the network.

jaquith · Apr 15, 2011

^ What's crossing my mind are the 2000 MHz RAM, and if it's working correctly -- 4GB vs 6GB. 2000 MHz RAM at 1.60v with no BCLK adjustments...

If the OP RAMs fine then look to other stuff. Yep, older nVidia drivers are a problem.

There are a bunch of issues with Starcraft 2 +SLI problems. But those issues were fixed last August.

Try:
'Variables.txt' in your C:\Users\yourname\Documents\StarCraft II folder. Change 'transparentshadows=1' to 'transparentshadows=0'

Change shadowmapsize=2048 to 1024

Hi, im glad to get your attention
I tired respond faster but the site wouldn't work last nite

here,
i tired using the recommanded setting for my ram before and my computer
randomly crash while playing games so i just put everything to default
nothing fancy and it never crash exept some very rare time...it when i heard my sound
glitch and computer freeze...mostly happend when i just did reboot my computer weird tough.

here my ressource monitor & cpu-z picture

I just notice that blizzard had make change lately with graphic setting wich is now called
"EXTREME" at maximum setting.My computer is proly not ready for that setting as i did see
on some other forum people saying that starcraft 2 is mostly cpu heavy game.

so what i did is lets everything on max except for all setting that said it relies on cpu.
I've put all those to the lowest and now i get a nice 30 fps in intense battle wich is better
that previous ~14 fps i was getting.

i didn t test the new suggested command to add to variable.txt but i've already used those
recommended by others
frameratecap=60 "i think this one is while playing"
frameratecapGlue=30 "and this one is in menu screen 30 is great for cooling down stuff

"

i know my computer still great because i've just played crysis 2 and was running like butter.
Thanks Again, i apreaciate suggestion

You would get better support from their Forum -> http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/ The links you provided, at least to the USA, are broken. Further, I would run Selective Startup from MSCONFIG and use a minimum set, it other words turn-off what you absolutely don't need to run the game. Low frame rates are IMO the cause of your lagging.

Test system:
Intel Core i7-920, 2.67 GHz, QPI-4200, 8 MB Cache
Overclocked to 3.61 GHz @ 172 MHz BCLK

Reference http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crossfire-sli-scaling,2742-8.html

I have but don't play StarCraft very much, but when it's running it's being run on an OC CPU.

multisync · Apr 15, 2011

yeah thanks you, these are for ultra high and there is extreme setting now too.

i fixed those link finaly...what a pain

1680X1050 pixel is the maximum of my monitor as i said i probably found the main cause of the lag anyway.

I turned all cpu relies setting to the lowest and seem to do it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now what are good 12GB kit of ram i could use in my pc in order to overclock my cpu? because right now i think those 6GB of gskill 2000 o.c dosen't work on max setting

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have liquid corsair individual cooling for my cpu and i would like ram that would work at higher setting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or maybe it not my ram that cause me random crash at higher setting but the motherboard itself?

jaquith · Apr 15, 2011

Looking at CPU-Z you're getting (667 MHz) is if your BCLK is 160 MHz. So you are OC or using DOCP to increase the BCLK?!

DDR3-2000 9-9-9-27-2N @ 1.60v

Manual OC approach **
BIOS:
BCLK Frequency -> 167 MHz {166.66...}
AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-2000 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 27
-
DRAM Timing Mode -> 2N

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v
DRAM Bus Voltage -> 1.60~1.64v {use the lowest stable voltage}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DOCP OC approach
AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM O.C. Profile -> DDR3-2000 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 27
-
DRAM Timing Mode -> 2N

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v
DRAM Bus Voltage -> 1.60~1.64v {use the lowest stable voltage}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XMP OC approach
AI OC Tuner -> XMP
eXtreme Memory Profile -> High Frequency

optional or if unstable:
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v
DRAM Bus Voltage -> 1.60~1.64v {use the lowest stable voltage}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** Manual OC approach with BCLK Frequency -> 167 MHz {166.66...}

The i7 930
Stock BCLK 133.3... X 21 = 2.80 GHz
BCLK OC 166.6... X 21 = 3.50 GHz

Thanks you for the detail

no over clocking is done, everything is running at default for now

i could try again to make them run higher but i hate when computer get unstable, it the main reason why i wanna try new ram on it thanks for the suggestion.

i am right about when the ram run faster the cpu speed go higher too?

jaquith · Apr 16, 2011

First let me say, anyone who gets 2000 MHz RAM and has no intentions of OC the BCLK much less the CPU is making a huge mistake. The disparity between the CPU's IMC {1066 MHz} and RAM Frequency {2000 MHz} is too great for a 'stable' environment. Therefore, you have (3) choices: 1. OC the BCLK at minimum and lower the CPU multiplier or 2. Under-clock the 2000 MHz RAM to 1600~1800 MHz (max) via DRAM Frequency and look at the JEDEC columns per the 'SPD' tab and use one of those CAS Timing sets or 3. Get good 1600 MHz 3X4GB RAM.

DDR3-2000 9-9-9-27-2N @ 1.60v

[1] Manual BCLK & lower CPU Multiplier **
BIOS:
CPU Ratio Setting -> 18 ; 2800 / 166.66... = 17 {17 x 166.66... = 2.83 GHz}
BCLK Frequency -> 167 MHz {166.66...}
AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-2000 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 27
-
DRAM Timing Mode -> 2N

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v
DRAM Bus Voltage -> 1.60~1.64v {use the lowest stable voltage}

[2] Under-clock RAM

AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-1600 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 24

at default with auto setting, my ram are running at 1066mhz in the bios.

i bought those ram thinking they would be good but i didn't know anything about using it for my system at 2000mhz was overclocking.I could save money and buy more ram for same price.I am not a fan of overclocking as it decrease the life of the product.Thanks for lighting me.Very useful info there.

Best answer selected by multisync.

multisync · Apr 16, 2011

Testing your first suggestion here is what i got
i couldn't select 2000mhz because it not on the selection proposed

my bios say target cpu is 2822mhz
and my target ram is 1664 mhz

can u compare those picture why window say 2.27mhz and cpu-z say 2818mhz???

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPD Tab show same thing that my previous picture

can you tell me if everything is ok or what going wrong ?

jaquith · Apr 16, 2011

multisync :

The DDR3-2000 MHz is a whole number multiplied by BCLK. Therefore, 167 would yield a number close to 2000 {167 X 12 = 2004}. In other words, select the number closest to 2000 MHz.

Q - What values 'are' available per BCLK = 167? If you can select 166.66... then that yields 2000.

multisync · Apr 16, 2011

at 166 i can select 1997mhz
at 167 i can select 2009mhz
i cannot select number after the . it only 166 or 167 after no 166.xx number

here picture of AIDA64 saying it 1333mhz ?!
same for cpu say it 2.8ghz
why is win7 say 2.27 ghz?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
maybe u understand these info better that i do, Aida64 is Evrest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

jaquith · Apr 17, 2011

I'm not talking at all about the CPU Multiplier; I was talking about how the Memory Multiplier 'works.'

Example:
BCLK 167 MHz
CPU Multiplier = 17 ; 17 x 167 MHz = 2839 MHz == 2.84 GHz CPU Frequency
Memory Multiplier = 12 ; 12 x 167 MHz = 2004 MHz DRAM Frequency

ASUS calculates the values for you in the form of the DRAM Frequency using 'whole' numbers. The values calculated are rounded to the Multiplier X BCLK.

Therefore, use either of the following for your DRAM Frequency:
"at 166 i can select 1997mhz
at 167 i can select 2009mhz "

[1] Manual BCLK & lower CPU Multiplier **
BIOS:
CPU Ratio Setting -> 18 ; = 2.83 GHz}
BCLK Frequency -> 167 MHz
AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-2009 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 9
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 9
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 9
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 27
-
DRAM Timing Mode -> 2N

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v
DRAM Bus Voltage -> 1.60~1.64v {use the lowest stable voltage}

multisync · Apr 17, 2011

ok i did couple of test

test-1
Cpu Ratio Setting=18x
BCLK Frequency=167
Dram Frequency ddr3-2009mhz
Result = OVERCLOCK FAIL!! No BOOT

test-2
Cpu Ratio Setting=17x
BCLK Frequency=167
Dram Frequency ddr3-2009mhz
Result = OVERCLOCK FAIL!! No BOOT

test-3
Cpu Ratio Setting=18x
BCLK Frequency=166
Dram Frequency ddr3-1997mhz
Result = OVERCLOCK FAIL!! No BOOT

test-4
Cpu Ratio Setting=17x
BCLK Frequency=166
Dram Frequency ddr3-1997mhz
Result = OVERCLOCK FAIL!! No BOOT

test-5
Cpu Ratio Setting=18x
BCLK Frequency=167
Dram Frequency ddr3-1674mhz
Result = Boot Success

cpuz report cpu speed of 3002.6mhz
SPD Tab never changed

AIDA64 info on my ram still say 1333mhz maybe it bad report

window 7 say 2.4ghz now...must be a bug all other program report 3000mhz and my bios also...

any program i can use that should report my ram speed in window?

What should i do from now trying to get maximum of my Dram Frequency with succesful boot?

multisync · Apr 17, 2011

I just found that info
http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=6154

this guys have almost same setup that me and having trouble too and he was using bios 108. He Updated to 308 and now he say everything work...QPI set to 1.4....

Should i upgrade my bios to 308?
I would like to know how to do it and i currently have no floppy disk installed on my system.

I am here
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P6X58D-E

i downloaded the bios lastest 508 version and it a .rom file

then what i should do with it?

i've done it before on some older computer with a floopy disk and a program .

i just wanna make sure i do it right...
There is only one program in bios-utility called
AFUDOS241.exe
there is no instruction or procedure

My guess is ... i don't know, i'm lost for now :hello:

jaquith · Apr 17, 2011

Next rule-out a CAS issues,try the following. If it's a CAS issue then clearly those sticks were NOT tested. CAS 9 for 2000 MHz is possible, but most are CAS 10 or 9-10-9-27 or 9-11-9-27 with Command rates of 2T {2N}.

Manual BCLK & lower CPU Multiplier **
BIOS:
CPU Ratio Setting -> 18 ; = 2.83 GHz}
BCLK Frequency -> 167 MHz
AI OC Tuner -> Manual
DRAM Frequency -> DDR3-2009 MHz
DRAM Timing Control / Enter
DRAM CAS# Latency -> 10
DRAM RAS# to CAS# -> 10
DRAM RAS# PRE Time -> 10
DRAM RAS# ACT Time -> 27
-
DRAM Timing Mode -> 2N

QPI/DRAM Core Voltage -> 1.30v

Hi, i tired all those with no luck,

refering to my manual and there a feature called ez-flash that can flash bios wihout a floppy disk.Should be easy enough for me to update it to 508 lastest version.

jaquith · Apr 17, 2011

Sure but use a Flash Drive {FAT 32}, ASUS EZ Flash 2 - How To:
