A quick 530fsb shot and then a shot of something else......notice what RAM I'm using? CPU-Z needs an update I think....

I KEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLL YOU MUSHKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ketxxx]

*points gun at aCid888* Gimme your mushkins, now!

 

[aCid888*]

No can do my man, they are my prized benchstix. I picked them up off TPU in place of some Ballistix I was going to get but the guy sold because I was late paying....he let me have these for $5 more and let me tell you, worth every penny. (or is that cent...Americans lol)

Though my FlexII's would keep you happy too, 1200mhz 5-5-5-15 @ 2.15v and that's not to be sneezed at for a 4GB kit.

 

[Ketxxx]

I'll take em if your selling em or we can trade if I have something you want, check the linky in my sig.

 

[aCid888*]

Can't sell them, my girlfriend would kill me as I promised her she could have them for her AMD rig (SysSpecs) and I don't feel like getting slapped silly and sleeping on my own.

 

[Ketxxx]

Buy her some el crapo memory , its not like she will appreciate them like one of us would

 

[aCid888*]

I got more RAM laying around then I need at the moment....OCZ Platinum in 800 and 1066mhz flavours, plenty of DDR RAM, my (her?) FlexII's and the Mushkins....I swap the Mushkins and FlexII's around; Mushkins to bench and the Flex's 24/7.

Vista Ultimate loves 4GB of DDR2 @ 1200mhz....but these sticks at huge and 4GB is all I have room for lol

 

[Ketxxx]

I have a crapload of RAM too, mostly 2GB kits tho

 

[aCid888*]

I only have 1 4GB kit, rest are 2GB and the odd 1GB DDR kit.....i even have some PC133 somewhere in 256 form!

Thats in England though, don't think I need it here.

New Hight FSB

Here's the CPU-Z Validation for the Highest FSB

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=545508

I'll get it higher as time rolls by..

 

[aCid888*]

Nice clocks there J, I need to get myself busy and find my settings for 550 again....530 just doesnt seem to cut it anymore lol

 

[aCid888*]

Doublepost for unrelated eyecandy!!

 

[_jM]

Here's some eye-candy for ya... new shot of my Red CC's and my best WinPrime score

Ill post a pic of my new Dominators... mmmm they look soo sexy.. ~

 

[pantherx12]

I'm still having trouble with my multi going to 6, when ever I restart or the system crashes ( for any reason) it resets to x6.

Any ideas?

( even does it at stock settings!)

Oh _JM I found on my 900 if I have the fans at the top instead of at the bottom everything runs cooler, give it a try see if you get better results too.

 

[Ketxxx]

^ Thats REALLY weird. Send a email to Asus, being sure to tell them C1E, EIST and speedstep are disabled, see what they say.

 

[alexp999]

I have only ever had it reseting ti 6 when the system was unstable. Once I got it stable it didnt do it.

Only happened on early bioses tho.

 

[Inioch]

Oh the joys of occasional working
Now I can afford some new memory, I'm quite sure they are my biggest limit in oc atm.

I have to stick to my ~70€ budget, so which would you guys recommend.
Looking at these 2x2Gb >1000

G.Skill 1000
Mushkin Redline 1000
OCZ Platinum 1000
OCZ Reaper 1000 (bad availability)
G.Skill 1066
A-Data Vitesta EE 1066
OCZ Reaper 1066 (Really bad availability)
OCZ Platinum 1066
Corsair XMS2 TwinX 1066

Sorry for the Finnish links, but those two are where I buy, so have to go by their prices.

I've read some reviews, but do you have any personal favourites and why?
A lot of good has been said about the Reapers, but they are really hard to get around here.
Right now I'm thinking about the Mushkins...

 

[aCid888*]

Mushkin or G.Skill's.

I would expect they will both do around 1150 - 1200mhz.

Some cash left over, get the OCZ ram cooler.

 

[aCid888*]

Oh, add this please.

Edit: I just noticed all the CPU-z screenshots show the same info..idiot I am, one was meant to show RAM, other the board info and then the CPU info...fool!!!!

 

[alexp999]

will update the FSB scores in a bit

 

[aCid888*]

Good man.

Trying for more.....

 

[_jM]

Some EyE Candy of my new lighting an d Dominators~

 

[_jM]

will update the FSB scores in a bit

Dont forget mine ~ 505mhz I have posted the CPU-z validation earlier

 

[aCid888*]

Trying 580fsb makes me crash....will give it more effort later once I catch some sleep in a while.

 

[_jM]

Oh _JM I found on my 900 if I have the fans at the top instead of at the bottom everything runs cooler, give it a try see if you get better results too.

What fans?~ Do you mean the ones in the front of the case, if so then mine are good to go as is, the V8 I use.. pretty much doesnt need a fan.. my Q9550 @ 3.9Ghz idles @ 33-35c on all four cores and loads @ 47-52c, I keep the fans in the front where they sit because its my GTX 260 that needs most of that airflow along with the bottom fan aiding in cooling my PSU.. my PSU is fliped upside down for better cable management and I drilled 15 1/2inch holes in the bottom of the case under the PSU too~

Trying 580fsb makes me crash....will give it more effort later once I catch some sleep in a while.

Try rising the volts higher than what ur using for the 570 and boot into windows at that setting and use SetFSB to raise the FSB in windows. Im sure it will reach 580 like that~
