800mhz @ 3-4-4-12 any good?

i'm sure he has a cpuz validation which is just as good as a memset shot

I know - its just rules are rules so I need more clarification.

@Crashnburn - fixed the error - but 547.6 x2 is not 1098. It just is not- sorry but my maths isn't the one at fault.

Hey w/e. Im just going by what the BIOS shows. :toast:

Wile E · Apr 27, 2008

Well, it seems I have some degradation going on now. Can only manage 1370Mhz now, with slightly reduced timings, and 2.36V. Almost borked my XP x64 install by trying my old settings. Had to do a registry recovery. lol. Really don't want to try any more voltage, as I REALLY don't want to fry these sticks. Oh well, win some, lose some I suppose.

Nitro-Max · Apr 27, 2008

You did your best Wile E dont kill ya ram off still a great result.

According to this (either the 2nd or 3rd from top):

You should be able to get a tRD of 8, dude!

Here's the page where i got this from:

http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3208&p=9

EDIT

Oooops :laugh:

You have 650+ FSB: not 550+ FSB.

Still, i would venture a guess: you're not using the max multi your CPU can support, are you?

The reason i think this is because i was using an 8 multi myself (instead of a 9 one) because i could get it to OC better and @ lower volts but @ a tRD of 10 (this was in conjunction with my memory, which ain't so good) but now, with a 9 multi, i have a tRD of 7, a bit less in MHz but MUCH more in memory speed, with a tad bit higher volts, though (i mean in the CPU).

I believe you know all this though since, as far as i know, you have been OCing far longer then me ...

heh no his FSB is just over 400, so 5 would be the lowest tRD possible. See this chart....2nd to the last row.

Yep, 411fsb. I wasn't worried about tightening the timings too much tho. Was just going for the big number. Was hoping I could hit 1400MHz again, but it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe I'll try with insane volts if I can find a way to get the stix super cooled.

2.225v

infrared · Apr 28, 2008

This thread needs a section for 4x 1GB and 2x 2GB overclocking!

I had a go @ 4x 1GB earlier with my Supertalent sticks, and couldn't get past 1066mhz 2.2v with vMCH @ 1.55v.

I'll have another try later, but it would be good if others could share their settings they used.

vega22 · Apr 28, 2008

these are 2gb stix but i cant seem to get them to get much above 1070, ddr1000 stock???

what do you think? 2.1v

infrared · Apr 28, 2008

Thanks Marsey, very nice on 2.1v!

It could be limited by the chipset. It's odd that you should max out close to where i did, but then again you are running a much higher fsb me. I was only running 425mhz fsb 4:5 for 1066mhz. I could do some 1:1 testing later, but my cpu limits me to 533mhz fsb tops.

I'll do some more experimenting later.

vega22 · Apr 28, 2008

ty

i have tried it with different fsb, dividers and voltage and i dont get any errors but bsod in windoze.

like i said i can squeeze a few more mhz out of them but then the scores drop and latency goes up??

i can drop the tras to 15 but the trd has to be 10 then so...swings and roundabouts hey.

1 other thing, i can drop the trfc to 46 but it has no effect whatsoever, whats that all about?

My bad, heh :laugh:

That's makes it worse, though: a tRD of 10 when he could have a tRD of 5?

I wasn't worried about the performance. I loosened everything, just to try for the big number.

Many of the 2GB sticks don't clock well at all. The IC's just aren't as good yet. There is another possibility tho. Some of these2GB stick want a looser performance level. If your board has the ability to adjust the performance level, loosen it a little. If not, try to find the information online about your board, that tells you what straps= what performance level.

Smartbomb · Apr 28, 2008

Ok got my stuff figured out now, seen too many other peeps 1600QDR for OC's on 680i, was at 3.6 Ghz there, now changed my strap 3.3ghz and all of a sudden my memory broke 10000 read speed everest and my latency dropped 20, going to experiment further, think they are ready to break 1200mhz now, btw 5-5-4-15 2.0v this is a 4 gig kit too. whoops, a little excited, I gave 2 cpu-z of same LOL
Still no 1200 luvin for me however changing the strap on my memory controller got my system whisltling now that my ram isn't being choked out

cdawall · Apr 28, 2008

this any good?

it outperforms my sticks running much faster speeds...

667 @750 2x2gb ocz vista upgrade modules

theonetruewill · Apr 30, 2008

I'll try and do an update either tonight or tomorrow.

PaulieG · Apr 30, 2008

What about some kind of leader board for tight timings, with separate lists for DDR2 800, DDR2 1066, and DDR2 1200

Get enough support and I'll do it - but the last time I tried to suggest something no one voted (EDIT: bar Spankenstein). If they want to be lazy I will be too.

Smartbomb · Apr 30, 2008

Sorry I never voted... The work being put into this thread is appreciated

sneekypeet · May 1, 2008

So you are just not going to update this thread anylonger???

I see you say you are going to be lazy in this thread, but then I see YOU asking for updates in other threads....:shadedshu

No I did not say that- I said I would not add other memory benchmark scoreboards as they were not voted for. Be careful, I update this thread a lot compared to other threads.
