Do I have very good Value Ram???

Solarius · 19 May 2006 at 23:08

Have just been overclocking for a bit, just messing with the bios and trying to get a stable 2.9Ghz from my opteron.

When doing so i left the divider to run at 166 or sumut on my ram. So now overall this has left me with my GEIL Value Ram running at 241Mhz, at 2.5-3-3-5. 2.8v

Obviously i need to stress test, Prime 95 and memtest but overall I havent noticed any other cheapo ram even reach such a high frequency, am i off my box or is this a very good set of 512 ram sticks?

Very cool then,

. I have to say I was quite suprised. I knew Geil Ram was good but didnt know its potential.

Thanks guys

Well, in Sandra I am getting about...

RAM Bandwidth Int Buff'd iSSE2 (6990Mb/s)
RAM Bandwidth Float Buff' iSSE2 (6931Mb/s)

I have slightly underclocked my processor due to instability at 2.9Ghz, Now it is prime 95 stable at 2.85Ghz though, with ram at 237Mhz...

Im struggling finding my way to my goal of a 3Ghz (on Air) Opteron.

My whole main config is...

CPU Multi - 10x

FSB - 285

CPUVoltage - 1.52v ( Limited by this damn mobo)

-----------------------

Ram now at 2.5-3-3-6 @1T (2.85v).

Anyone have any idea's about how i can get my opty higher??

Would it be a good idea to slacken my ram timings and try to push the CPU clock and ram clock higher?

Thanks for replys btw, much appreciated

Comp now at 2.95Ghz with ram at 2.5-4-4-6. @1T

Ram now at 245Mhz...

Gonna be priming now.

Well, I have managed a windows stable, 260Mhz on my ram now, at 3-3-3-6.

Sounds slow by timings but my ram bandwidth on sandra is now just shy of 7400Mb/s. Which seems VERY high for what it is.

So overall, gonna be priming 2.85Ghz with ram at 260Mhz.

(Crosses fingers)
