Here's my new toy -- a pair of 3rd hand ram which I bought for S$60 (RM138) Test Platform: Q6600 B3 P5B-E Plus KVR DDR2-800 1Gbx2 550mhz 5-5-5-18 2.30v (prime95 for 7hr20min) screenshots: busy/idle I played Crysis for an hour @ 570mhz 5-5-5-18, but gives error on when prime; 2.30v seems to be the sweetspot, any advice is appreciated, thx
Looks pretty good here but hard to see. Anyway you could attach full sized images that way we can click on the thumbnail and see clearer. BTW don't see may Q6600's over 3.0 so 3.2 is cool as is the RAM O/C
why is your FSB:RAM ratio 1:2? anyway nice speed for the RAM my DDR2 667 could touch DDR2 900 speed, which I'm damn happy about. also KVR.
coz i dun wanna get the cpu involved? notice that my q6600 is undervolted & underclocked.. its funny that the expensive hyperX 1GB could only do ddr2-938, yet the value ram 2GB could do ddr2-1100
no, the point of my question was - why OC the RAM but with a downclocked processor? what do you intend to get out of the system? btw yes, love your RAM. I've not bought any performance RAM myself.
Thanks and nice O/C on that ram. I am really interested in what this OCZ Reaper ram will do because I have seen no real reviews on it besides comments from customers who purchased it. One comment he said he was running DDR2 1066 speeds and the higher the O/C the more the heatspreaders distribute the heat. I see no max frequency spec anywhere for this ram including the OCZ site so really interested to see how it performs
exactly which pair of ram are u talking abt? i dun believe in heatspreaders, surprisingly my value ram running @ 2.3v is pretty cool, i got the intel stock hsf to blow @ em anyway..
oh btw, I don't see any difference in framerate when i run my Q6600 @ 2ghz or 3.2ghz in Crysis or GoW.. at stock 2.4ghz, average cpu usage in Crysis is 32~38%; whereas in GoW, it is 44~48%
I have OCZ Performance RAM here thats works very well but this pair as I have read were designed for 32 bit OS's using 4G of RAM in 2 sockets as opposed to 4 because of cooling issues of the latter. Here's my ram ... OCZ Technology | Products | Memory | OCZ PC2-8000 ReaperX HPC 4GB Dual Channel
oh, the one with the bigass heatpipe ah.. i would rather haf 2 sticks instead of 4, its hard to cool em.. designed for 32-bit OS? i thought 32-bit XP couldnt recognize more than 3GB of ram?
True but Vista can with a patch ... what I meant is you cant use 4 sticks with this ram if your running Win64 or Vista Ultimate 64 you won't be running 8G.
ic... 2GB is more than enough for me right now, I have got 1GB of spare dunno what to do with it saw the newly released G.skill 16GB kit?
