ram speeds... timing... now your talkin chineezzz to me... explain plz

Timings are the ratings you see on websites that look like this: 4-4-4-12

Speed is just that, the MHz your ram runs at, AKA: 667MHz, 800Mhz, etc.

If your mobo sets the ram to run at 667Mhz at stock, when you raise the fsb, you also raise the ram speed. Thus, you have to pay attention to what speed it's running at.

Run cpu-z, then go to the memory tab, and see what speed your ram is running at.

Here's my cooling... idle with room temp of 19c is 21c--- under full load-- 40c with the side off

What are you using to measure temps?

well here take a look at this memory speed and you tell me... im running ddr2 at 667 which is a 333mhz

If you up the volts to your ram, you can probably set those timings to 4-4-4-12, and gain a good bit of performance.

Don't use that. It's crap. Use Core Temp instead. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Oh, and for screenshots, just hit the PrintScreen button on your keyboard. Go to the start menu, and under Programs>Accessories open Paint. Hit Crtl-v, edit and crop the image any way you like, save it as .png or jpeg, then you can upload it here: http://www.techpowerup.org/

ok its running by the clock.. ill try the timings and let you know in a min

Quick hijack What does TCaseMax mean in Core Temp? This is the first version where I get this. It also tells me that my TDP is 110 Watts now.

I think Tcase is the failure point, but I'm not 100% sure. It's been explained in these forums before tho.

I also get large temp variations between to two cores under load. Both my processor and heatsink are mirror smooth, and I've heard others complain of the same thing. Is it possibly a bad reading or is one core just that f'd up?

It's probably a combination of one core that just naturally runs warmer, and an imperfect union between the core and the IHS.

4-4-4-12? explane it a little better... latency exc exc... i tryd but kept gettin the black screen checkin for floppy or thumb drive

Well... I think one of my cores is going in the tank then. Running at 2.7ghz right now 1.34 volts and one core in orthos is 49c the other is reaching 63c after a few minutes. Oh well My Maximus and Axe ram are on the way (yeah, I copied you), I just have to decide what processor to put in it.

CAS - 4
RAS to CAS - 4
RAS Precharge - 4
Cycle Time - 12

Also, up your ram voltage to either 2.0 or 2.1.

Q6600 or X3220. If you're gonna copy, might as well go all out. lol.

Right now it's between a x3220, one of fitsieries e8400's or wait it out for a 45nm quad core...

ok ppl im cant get a straight answer here... on cpuid i click on memory and it show's
DRAM FREQ 383.3.... i am running 1ghz 667mhz stick.. so is the memory really running at 766mhz? 383x2= 766... when i over clock
Core speed=3.45
multiplier x 15
Bus speed 230
Ht link 1150

 

[JrRacinFan]

Yup, 766 mhz, my man!

 

[fullinfusion]

Hey thanks man... would you be able to tell me how far i can safely push it? ddr2 kingston 1ghz 667 mhz ram...

 

[fullinfusion]

Hey JR did ya get the new update of the SP3 yet? it's out

 

[JrRacinFan]

In the middle of d/ling right now. Also, may be able to push a little further but may have to loosen the timings a bit. FWIW, leave it as is if your posting and have no stability issues.


EDIT: I don't get my Abit board til Tuesday via FedEx so I am waiting until then to do any reformat/reinstall of windows, also my new burner doesn't come til Wednesday.

 

[fullinfusion]

lmao! ok dude thanks and no its stable as stable can be with the current setup.. thank you for clearing up the memory thing for me..

 

[JrRacinFan]

Why you laughin at meh?! .. LOL

Anytime, that's what we are all here for, just remember if I need help you better post!!!

Heh, just kidding man, your welcome!
