used DICE on the cpu and ram itself. might have one of the better IMC's i have no idea but 1840 wasn't stable so it didn't really accomplish anything special

i cant cross 2800nb, when not using the 1066 divider also i cant get below cl 7
on the 1333 divider

imc is too weak,i believe. or my board just hates me, what i dont believe so much

i have pushed multiple chips to high ram clock speeds on that board its one of my fav's which is why i still have it. might be your board never seen a 955 not push ram

so youre saying, boards is probably the limiting factor?

4.1

4.21 GHz @ 1.152v, amazing!!

great job bro, Should have more left in it Is that stable?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

cpu-z is still being an ass to me, look at coretemp

but no it is NOT stable, can only do 4ghz stable at 1.475-1.485

 

[Chicken Patty]

That seems abou right for these CPU's

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah, but its not the temps that are olding me back i think, i think its my memory, have 2 different sticks of ddr2,

i will go hunting for some nice used ones,

anyone know some VERY good ddr2 1000+mhz?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I haven't used DDR2 in a while ask JR, he had some nice valueram that clocked well I believe.

Diablo CSX, AxeRam, certain batches of D9 Fatboy Chips (rare, not produced anymore)

they all are expensive tho!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

thx man, will look into that,

 

[Velvet Wafer]

thx man, will look into that,

ballistix are a pretty good for relatively low costs,tho! they just arent that extreme, they are just relatively universal,but much cheaper

 

[(FIH) The Don]

nevermind

 

[JrRacinFan]

@ The Don

Can you give me a shot of CPUz on both Memory and SPD tabs. Then download memset and give me a screen shot of that? But how do you feel that the ram is holding you back?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i really dont know if its the memory holding me back, i have NO idea on how to config them

but yeah, 2min

Oh trust me I can look into a few things that you culd try once you get me that info.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

you mean these? http://www.memoryc.com/computermemory/ddr2ram/2gbgeilpc28500blackdragonkit.html

i dont know if these are d9, but they have to be, to be special i didnt heard much good about gskill ddr2. i meant the crucial ballistix.

the fatboy ones:

normal,good D9 substitutes, not the newest batch,new ones got no clips anymore,theyre completly glued:

 

[JrRacinFan]

Those are D9 sticks but the single sided ones are better. The double sided ones get warmer.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

in fact they were the warmest ram in a memory temperture review, i read a few weeks ago.
these things love a fan!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

there ya go

 

[JrRacinFan]

And these are HyperX sticks correct?

Try out 4-4-4-15 800mhz -OR- 1066 5-5-5-15 @2v, see if that gets you to post. If either does see if you can get through at least 2 passes of memtest. Goal here tho is to be on the 800 Cl4 settings. From there you can probly start to tweak down your tRC & tWR timings just to make everything feel snappier. Oh and bring your tRRD up a notch to 4.

on a side note:

Does that look good for 3.3Ghz and cheap 1333 Corsairs? Probly gonna keep it here for 24.7 as none of my temps go above 52C on load EXCEPT for gpu.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i wont be doing anything atm, just had a HUGE crash, took me and hour to get it working again,

will wait till i get some good memory,

and the memory is one stick of hyperx 1066 and one stik valueram 800mhz,

but do you think i coul put on a heat sink on the valueram and clock it to 1066mhz?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Mix and matching sticks kills performance try running either or.

Either heatsink or a RAM cooler would do the job.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah well i may have found a buyer for the whole rig, i got a offer on 1200$ atm, so i might soon go i7 again

 

[Chicken Patty]

Do you want to get rid of the if or did the offer just sound tempting?
