core2duo 4:5 cpu:ram any point?

Kmodo · 2 Nov 2006 at 01:38

will there be any point running 4:5 (cpu:ram)? Basically I have got my conroes sweet spot but my ram currently running at 800mhz and of course it can go much further so shall I push it or not not bother? Rig in Sig and cheers on any advice.

There's always point in running your memory faster.

Looking at your sig you're at 400*9, so 4:5 will take your ram up to 500mhz, which it should manage easily with 2.2vdimm.

Run some benchmarks, SuperPI etc. to see what difference there is, sometimes running asynchronously can degrade performance, you just have to try and see.

K cheers guys I will run some benchies. I am a gamer so I'll try show game benchies too.

dead what voltage you running?

Kmodo · 3 Nov 2006 at 00:50

I am running 2.25v on the g.skill and I think 1.575?v on the conroe but seeing as I game and nearly all the games I use only use single core the temps are fine

I guess if I benched both cores 24/7 it would get a lil hotter lol

the voltage for everyday use (my gaming) the volts can go a lot lower on the cpu but for benchies I have that voltage thats my dual prime stable voltage

I am thinking of lowering my FSB resulting in having a 3.4ghz (less voltage and cooler) then having the mem at running at 950mhz 4 4 4 12 (4:5). I think thats a nice lil config

sorry to jump in. but if you saved ** sig as a GIF it would me much clearer
