XMS3200C2PT TwinX overclocking

[BruceLee]

Hi,

Got this stuff allready (1Gb) but am just wondering what clocks people have got on them. Currently running at stock, have tried a bit of overclocking, got the CPU (x2 3800) at 2.4, so on the 166 divider.

Just wondering if it would be beneficial to lower the CAS to 2.5 and overclock the memory a bit? Its fairly nippy at present, but obviously I may as well see what these sticks can do. Bit new to o'cing memory you see.

Cool, thanks for the reply, so thats roughly 227mhz at that speed going by your sig.

I'm off work all this week so will get a proper chance to see what they can do.

How old are your sticks?

Anyway, cheers, hard to get any decent info on these.

Edit, my sticks will run at CL2-3-3-6 at around default speed.

Cool thanks guys, havent had a chance to try some dif settings yet, just wondering what the best set up would be similar to below:

1. 200FSB @ 2-3-3-6 ish and then run CPU @ 240

2. try and get the mem and cpu in sync at maybe around 220-230FSB with looser timings like Stupido has

3. Really slacken the timings and try and run around 240-250FSB


TBH its fast now compared to my old setup, although I havent really tried much out apart from BF2 and a few encoding tests. Superpi is around 37 seconds at 200 2-3-3-6 and 240 CPU.

wow you guys are lucky with that ram, mine wouldn't do any more than 215 at any timings

Well, I am happy to say that mine are sitting happily at 230 (in sync with CPU) @ 2.5-3-3-11 (although i still need to check on correct settings)

I was having some Prime95 and Superpi issues at 240FSB (200Mem), which I think is down to the poor voltage choices on this board. 230 seems good and has given no errors in either test. Also it is faster in SiSoft tests compared to the 240/200 setting.

May try higher, but at this speed its around 28c idle and only 38c when under load on both cores, which seems good to me
