Hi,

I'm currently in the process of overclocking my Opty and noticed in CPU-Z the DRAM/FSB setting is at CPU/15. What exactly does this mean?

Also, the memory frequency is 173.9mhz and mem timings are as follows:

Cas Latency : 2.5
Ras to Cas latency : 3
Ras Precharge : 3
Cycle Time : 6
Bank cycle Time 16
DRAM IDle Timer : 16

I haven't messed with these so I presume they are quite slack timings. I guess what I want is for the memory to run synch with the processor. Is this possible? If so what settings in the bios do I change?

Cheers for looking in

Dave
 
Also, I have set the voltage in the bios to 1.485 but in CPU-Z it's showing 1.520 (though this fluctuates slightly). Which reading should i trust?
 
to be honest i dont have a clue!

How do I change the settings for the Ram on my motherboard? I couldn't see anything, unless I'm being totally thick?
 
confused now.

There are settings in the bios to run the ram at different speeds. Auto, and then 200mhz, 233, 266, 300, 333 etc... are these the ones I need?

I'm currently at 260FSB at the moment and Ideally would like to run my ram synch with that, on bootup it says my ram is running 266mhz. Is this incorrect?
 
ok, let me try and work this out.

400mhz would be what I use if the opty were at stock and i wanted to run 1:1.

I'm running 260fsb so presumably want to run the ram at double this? 533mhz?
 
cheers mate. Very helpful.

Will select that when I get in and see what CPU-Z says. I'm wondering whether it's actually capable of running 533mhz.... :|
