Time for me to upgrade ??

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

For now yes but the memory might hold those timings a bit higher freq.
It may do a bit higher than 1600 too but probably not 1800 at the spec timings.
You cna try 9-9-9-27 with 1800 and see how that goes and if it's worth it memory performance wise.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

It could be a bit of tweaking, but it's worth trying, some do 200 easy, some never reach, guess board/cpu and luck is involved. Could always try it at 19x if the heat is too much at 20.

I feel it would be nice if he did get to something like 3.8-4.0g & ddr1600 in the end.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ya, 1800 definitely didn't work........lol.........ok, will try 9-9-9-27 and 1800,,,,,,,,,... am testing cinebench right now.......this is getting really fun, i am actually understanding about 50% of what you guys are telling me.........(i think )

sounds good to me ! ;)

Memory is like a box of chocolates you never know what you get.
If there is a high demand to 1600 memory and the company is short of 1600 chips it will sale 1800 binned chicps as 1600 if it has spares. Or the chips were never checked to be higher than 1600 but can still do it.

Scaling timings down work almost always, but not up, cost nothing to try though. Just make sure you run memtest86+ before you attempt to run windows.

I didn't know Forrest Gump was into computers :))..............

re-running cinebench now, cuz it said i was at 3.78ghz, horrors, ! lol........(cpuz still says 3.96 and bios settings haven't changed) must be just a quirk in cinebench

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

cinebench doesnt see turbo mode thats why its saying lower oc

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

thanks wazza !!!.....you guys shoulda been teachers ! learning so much here !!

ok, bios accepted 9-9-9-27, 1800...............booted to hiren's and testing memtest now

time for my walk ( my cardiologist is not a computer geek, gotta keep him happy ) back in half an hour

thanks again everyone ;) !!

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Yes cinebench is not too smart about CPU freq. If I don't use my max multi it show a much higher OC than it realy is.

HT clearly comtribute to about 25% better performance.

You never know we may get him into OC.

He's from India, and a horrible golfer.......I am sure he'd consider any new hobby after some of his rounds of golf ;)

ok, so, one pass successful in memtest.......now .boot to windows and run some tests ?

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Yes, lets hope for good.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, will do...........just ran maxxmem........or is it memmaxx........in windows......

btw, why not 8-8-8-24........oh, thats right, can't get to 1600 with this bios' frequencies and multipliers......and 8-8-8-24,1800 failed already ;/

ok, back to testing.........9-9-9-27, 1800

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

9-9-9-27-1800 heats up too much with linx (90C during first pass, so, i stopped it) and prime95........and almost identical speed scores as with 7-7-7-21-1440 running MaxxMem, and cinebench
