Hi Raja,
Can I ask why you've slacked the timings of the Cellshock (4.4.4.12/1000Mhz) to 5.5.5.15 even though the ram is slightly underclocked to 924Mhz.
I've got the Cellshock pc6400 kit and they've not had a problem running at 4.4.3.8/1000Mhz, just curious why you couldn't tighten the timings a little more on the pc8000 kit.
Cheers.
For the initial stability stuff things were run @ spd timings. Cellshock was run with manual at around ddr900 cas 4-4-4-9 for a quick 30 mins of orthos with very tight secondaries.
There is 2 types of ram being used in the super pi screenshots, the cas 4 timings were with the cellshock, cas 5 with ocz flex cas 4 kit.
I did not push trp down at the time as I had limited my time to get everything ready to get up on the forum before people started getting boards, no other reason. Any instability during benching or getting settings ready would have lead to more time being taken, so the basic '4' were tapped in haste.
I always have to work within vdimm that can be globally accepted for the stability stuff, for the burn of cascade benching I push a lot higher, but that info is not generally thrown at noobs - who try and copy settings via misadventure, the results often leads to posts containing expletives and accusations of cherry picked hardware.
Obviously SS/Cascade cpu speeds won''t be repeated with lesser cooling potential but memory speeds usually scale better at lower cpu mhz, due to less thru put via the nb.
A bit of everything was thrown in for fun over a limited time scale. The results were not under the hammer from any other source but myself as I felt it important to provide as much guarantee-able info as I could before users reported back for setup help..
I will be adding more as things progress further or as required, as will some of the other guys involved...
regards
Raja
