3 sticks of pc133 Ram on CUSL2 and overclockability?

[Hankysmoo]

If i remember correctly, if you run more than 2 sticks of ram on a cusl2, due to chipset limitations or something, u can only run the memory at 100 fsb or something, as the CUSL2 only officially supports 2 PC133 DIMM's. However, under the Anandtech review of this board in July, they said the CUSL2 had no problem running 3 DIMM's in PC133 mode. I am thinking of getting 2 more additional sticks of 128mb ram if they can run in pc133 mode fine but if it can only run 2 sticks smoothly, I will just get one more stick. Thus, plz report about your overclockability with 2 and 3 sticks of ram on your cusl2, thx

PS I'm gonna get either 2 or 3 sticks of Mosel Vitelic 128mb ram and want to run them at CAS 222 143fsb 7t/9t. You guys think its possible? I am running one stick just fine at this setting. Thx

bump, ps how do u tell the difference between rev 1.5 and rev 2?

should say on the stick: rev 1.5 is "only" promised at cas2 up to 133mhz (but heard reports of it going as high as 144mhz @ cas2), and rev 2.0 will definitely do cas2 at 150mhz.

but, for $90 from mwave, i am getting kingmax tinyBGA 128meg pc150 sticks that do CAS2 at 143mhz no problems... very happy with that ram, been building all my machines around it, and had 3 x 128 sticks of it running at cas2 @ 143mhz.

subhuman, i heard that the tinymax pc150 did not work well with the Asus CUSL2, as its picky about the motherboard chipset. Anyone running this ram at cas 222 143 FSB?

 

[subhuman]

i am!

$90 kingmax tinyBGA on ASUS CUSL2 @ 143mhz, 2,2,2.

This is the machine I just built for a friend, ran it for a 72 hours in Q3Demo loop without lockups.

I'm able to run (2) 128MB sticks of Crucial CAS 2(-7E)at 150 FSB on CUSL2 using 2-2-2 settings. I also ran for a little while at 155 FSB for a short while and did not have any problems.

3 sticks of PC133 SDRAM is fine on the CUSL2. If you do find that you have stability problems with 3 sticks, go into the Advanced BIOS options and set SDRAM Data Driving Mode to Strong.

In most cases, this setting eliminates stability problems. Make sure that you have the latest BIOS though.

Some good specs, so lets see your reallife performance
