Hopefully be ordering 8gb of samsung at the end of the week. This vengeance has gotta go. If im sticking 1.57500v through ram to run it at supposed xmp settings. Might as well get something that will run a lot higher with that sort of voltage.

Oh man this sucks
i7-2600 with 1333mhz memory
I'LL BE BACK WITH TUNED MEMORY

Your CPU doesn't have hyperthreading though which helps immensely for this.

**** knows what cpu speed it is as you can only calculate the peak a single core gets to... It fluctuates upon load see my new capture as I tried to catch it at the peak. I think I saw 4.52ghz
We can try to calculate it I guess :
+4bin = 4.2ghz * 1.075 (BCLK) = 4.515ghz on a single core // my guess was right (but remember that is only on a single core or thread)
This is a single threaded test which is why by +4 bin oc is holding up. A multithreaded test will bury me
Updated - this is more impressive .... and yes I ended up corrupting my RAID0 trying to tune the memory, no expense spared chaps LOL
Hyperthreading means using the virtual cores and superpi only uses 1core, how meny times do I have to tell ppl

Indeed. So even though it looks like I *could* turbo boost anything from 4.15ghz->4.5ghz for my single thread pi calculation but for something threaded like fritz you can see my cpu freq @ 4.15ghz solid - which is my peak under full threaded load
Under such a scenario an [email protected] would easily beat me but single threaded I could keep up

indeed it is... but if you're happy priming it along with all your peripherals then why not ?
Personally I run +4/100 - 24/7 as this is a production machine but the potential is definitely there if you need it

Well I have turbo disabled and I just set the clock speed I want it to run at, cos its not as its running at full speed all the time as my cpu is at 1.6ghz when its ticking over.
Ive never played with the bus speed since the core2 days, as I quite nervous doing so, as ppl on here and the web says it can damage your system

Personally I don't think it's as dangerous as ppl make out. Just keep tabs on the impact of raising the BCLK on *all* your components.
Note the mistake I made earlier - I raised the RAM to 1600 and *also* increased the BCLK this was catastrophic as my dodgy RAM was now running at 1700... this resulted in my RAID0 corrupting. Windows temporarily restored it, so I'll be waking up in the morning to see the whole array being rebuilt by trueimage
Note to self: Buy some decent ram for this rig or steal the SGs from the other one

Seeing as you asked.
Youve got me on this un.
Yeah cheers for that but I had the obvious advantage with HT so it was unfair
Benchmarking is a *****, makes me feel like putting the 3770k back through its paces but in all fairness these machines are so damn quick we can't tell them apart
No probs, indeed i do miss the ht of the 920. (still have an i7 930), noticed a drop in minimum frames in bf3 when changing to the 3570k. But the spec in sig is now my primary gaming rig. Though ill be switching to a 3770k when i go sli.
Nice clock on the 2600 btw.
