Well my boards rated for ddr3 1600 but at or near ddr3 1600 and my usb ports malfunction and other wacky things, but if I drop the ram down and tighten the timing I can go much higher with no problems. I also lose zero performance because my ram runs tighter. On a side note my rig is fast as hell. I don't miss my quad at all.

Hmmm, you scaring me. I just got my RAM (same as yours) and a similar board. I'll install them shortly and post with my findings.

The C3's have a better IMC so they overclock considerably better. As far as temps just stay below 55ºc

can you get 2800+ nb crunching and linx stable? 3000 nb surely would bring nice write speeds

Haven't tried, no need to run it that high. I'll try 2800MHz max for daily usage if voltage is reasonable.

Well I put them in, set timings manually and voltage to 1.6v as rated and here they are crunching along. Set at 1600 in the BIOS.

1.325 for my 2820... its a c2,remember! and no real gem, just a good proc.

i bet you will be able to run it that high, without issue!

I'm just lazy to try it.

lol? come on, the i7 is supposedly much more work to tweak
bump that sucka! and enjoy 10000+ mb writes/sec
you just need the sharpest timing you can get, with as much bandwith as you can squeeze. but i got severly more with low timings, than with high bandwith, its really true!

amd is too fast,eh? you dont need the extra mhz!

Not that, I just don't wanna stop crunching neitherLOL

and mine will do 1600 at default clocks it's only when you overclock the cpu the trouble starts and we have very similar motherboards with the same phase power.

Not a heavy overclock, but it's overclocked. These are the settings I'm running right now.

It may also be my ddr3 controller on the chip. I believe your chip has a better one than mine.

very true, could be.

intels are suprisingly better at that,sadly. i shut my 955 down sometimes, because i know, the far inferior q9550 will exceed it, crunching wise

Clock speed is all that matters and cores.

3.4ghz q9550,only for crunching beats 3.8ghz 955, if i game 3 hours per day

how can that be?

EDIT:
offtopic, but how much Rep would i get in this thread, if i would be able to work at AMD´s FAB1 in Dresden ? im currently searching for the job,perfectly fitting my talents

Because the Q never stops crunching. A rig that you don't use will crunch much more. Remember WCG uses low resources so you don't feel a decrease in performance. when the rig is not being used it uses more resources to complete more work. When I was on vacation, just by letting my i7 sit for three days crunching it average almost 1k per day more than it did when i used it.

That would be great man, good luck.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Much better

 

[JrRacinFan]

Nice numbers. Oh and btw CP, you may want to update your sig.

Thanks man for the comment and for the reminder.

lol? i never was able to attain that speeds, with exactly that values, only 25mhz more, and i mostly used fsb to regulate clock speed

how is that possible?

I got the magic touch, what can I say LOL. Not all setups are the same, remember that.

but 3000 mb copy difference? 1000mb write difference and 1000mb slower l3? isnt that a little much?

Run it again and post it, let me check it out and compare it to mine.
