G.Skill overclocking

[ASH1982]

G.Skill HZ PC2-6400 was running at 800mhz 4-4-4-12 T1 stock

Overclocked to maximum 830mhz 4-4-4-12 T1

Tryed 4-4-4-12 T2 and ran 978mhz maximum

Which is best basically, its a dual core intel system at 3.2ghz if that helps?

Super-Pi ran the same times on both

Run the higher FSB with the slacker timings IMO - the Conroes love memory bandwidth.

Will 3Dmark or some other application be able to show me an actual increased result while im messing about with bandwidths?

 

[FreeStream]

not really.

large increases might show something!

 

[ASH1982]

soooo... if there is no noticable benchmark difference then why do people bother?
I mean is there a "real world" performance increase that things like benchmarks wont show?

So I should go for T2 instead of T1?

Out of interest what voltage are you using to get 1T @ 830? I've never got my set to do 1T above 700 or so... but mine will do 1066 @ 4-4-4-15 w/ 2.2volts (2T)... however performance RAM is a bit of a con imo... you will see little realworld performance gain above 800MHz unless you have something silly like a 4.5gig conroe... in 3D Marks 03 the score difference out of a score of around 40,000 between a set of value sticks at 5-5-5-15 533MHz and the above set at 1066 was less than 10%.

2.2volts mate

Turns out the bandwidth at 830mhz at T1 is still more than the bandwidth at 978mhz T2 so I think I will stick with T1
