I'm stable at 2000MHz NB and 2000MHz HTT with 8GB of DDR2-800 4-4-4-15 ram. CPU is 3.60 GHz, I am trying for a little higher but I may need better cooling.

cdawall · Feb 3, 2009

here are the G.Skill

here are the crucial's

will toss both in in a second to see if they like CL3 with 4GB and 4dimms

Those of you who are using the 790GX and 790FX chipset boards, what NB and HTT voltages are you using? I'm hearing that above 3.7ghz and 2400 NB freq that you really need at least 1.35v for both, though my Asus bios setting for both voltages turn red when I set them above 1.28v (giving warning that it's too high). WTF??

im running 3850mhz @ 1.51v in the bios
my nb @ 2475 mhz @ 1.375v (cpu-nb)
htt @ 2200 @1.26v (ht-volts) this one gets red for me at 1.3v

will this get me on the board?

It gets tricky when playing with 8 GB of ram and using all four available DIMMs on the motherboard. It's harder to OC. But I managed to get a nice 3.60 GHz with good vCore and cool temps.

could anybody suggest a decent 4 gig kit of 1066 less then 70 bucks. or maybe 70-80 with a mir? i got my 2 gig ddr2 1150 but i'd like something that i can run x64 with

I am now sitting at 3.80 GHz with 1.45 vCore. My temps are up now at 48C with no load. This is why I choose to stick with the 3.60 GHz and lower vCore. My OCZ Vendetta can handle that.

thats the set i have that runs CL6-5-6-16 @1260 and to about 1150 CL5-5-5-15 all under 2.2v

or you could order a 2x1GB kit used

Can you post a screen shot of PC probe while at 3.8v 1.45v on full load? I have to see that.

I have posted valid CPU-z, screenshots, benchmark results. What am I missing?

Running stable, with F@H SMP, and GPU.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=722589

I will push back up to this, I have been trying to find out why I have so much freaking noise on my PCI bus. The video card adds some no doubt, I can hear it when I start the GPU for F@H, but when I connect my TV Tuner it is horrible.

Anyway, may I be added?

Stable at higher voltage (1.61 vcore) at 3.88

exodusprime1337 · Feb 4, 2009

cd could you do me a favor, could you try some settings like 3.8Ghz an do it like this and tell me what you find the best performance is...

200x19, ddr2 1066@4,5,5,15, 2400nb

225x17, ddr2 1200@5,5,5,15, 2400nb(or close)

255x15, ddr2 1000ish@4,4,4,12 2800nb(or close)

tries these out and let me know what you think?

Well all I did is up the voltage for the NB and Hyper Transport via bios and now they are both running at 2,000MHz instead of the stock 1,800MHz. Without the voltage increase I noticed my system not responding as fast, which is an indication of instability and would have crashed in a matter of time.

Now it runs great with the increase. Maybe there will be a future bios update which will alllow you to change the nb speed?

I am an idiot...I didnt think to adjust the NB multiplier.... but it wouldnt let me adjust the NB mult. until I upped the voltage...now I am running at 2Ghz....I dont know how much it will really help performance but every little bet helps... thanks

Super XP · Feb 4, 2009

I've gone upto 2,400MHz now for the NB. How will having a faster NB improve performance? I've done memory benching with 1,800, 2,000 & 2,400 NB with no noticable performance improvement.

Also It's not worth OC'ing past 3.80 GHz if you require more than 1.50v. I don't think that extra speed justifies that massive spike in vCore. This is why 3.60 GHz seems to be the sweet spot. Even 3.70 GHz if you can keep the vCore bellow 1.45v.

i don't think the performance increase for increasing the nb is a huge increase, but it does help. for instance. in a cpu limited bench like 3dmark06 i went from 3.8 at 2.0 and got 18200, then with 2.2 and got 18.5k, and then 2.4 for 18.9k and then 2670 where i'm at now i got 19.2k. so that was a help. then in aquamark which is an ancient bench but shows a marked inprovement as well, as in 170k at 2.0 to 198k at 2.7ghz nb.

right now i'm at 3.820Ghz at 224x17 or so with ddr2 1200 5,5,5,12, and i'll tell you, it's fast, the whole computer feels zippy and i love it. i came from a 5k be at 3.5 to a p2 940 at 3.82 is a whole world of difference.

TheScavenger · Feb 4, 2009

On the of NB frequency...

I bumped up the NB frequency from 1800MHz to 2000MHz on my 7750BE. Memory bandwidth jumped from 8000 MB/s to 8400 MB/s.

exodusprime1337 · Feb 4, 2009

that's basically what i'm finding that it does at 1800 i get like 7500/7800/8200 at 2670 i get 9700/10000/11500

johnnyfiive · Feb 4, 2009

Any benchmark that gives results relating to memory bandwidth (WinRAR for example) will show big increases. It's not going to make your 3DMark scores significantly higher but you will without a doubt see higher scores in all benchmarks. Here is a screenshot of my WinRAR result:

My CPU is at 3.2 and the NB is at 2061.

Super XP · Feb 4, 2009

I was getting over 170,000 in Aquamark 3 but ever since I installed Vista SP1 I'll be luck to hit anywhere near 130,000. Anybody have this issue?

i'll give them a shot

will be at work most of tonight so you might have to wait until thursday

exodusprime1337 · Feb 4, 2009

not a problem cd, i'm still gonna order some ddr2 1066 g.skill 4 gig kits tonight so it might not matter but i might keep the mem around for benching.
