Getting 2000mhz does need a good cpu, but most should be able.

But understand, it's not RAM SPEED that really matters...it's MEMORY CONTROLLER speed that ultimately makes the difference.

1600mhz 6-6-6 or 1800mhz 6-6-6 is more than fast enough. You don't even need 1800mhz. Getting 3000mhz NB or higher is what will make or break the deal. Technically, for 2000mhz, you need 4000mhz NB...Good luck getting that at anything above -125.

err


So dont worry about 2000 for my crosshair4 with the x6, just get the 1600 cause its not that big of a deal or what lol...

What kind of cooling you using Dumo????

what kind of memory are you running master?

 

[Master}{]

what kind of memory are you running master?

Kingston HyperX 1600

I think this board is doing an awsome job, my clocks and voltages are stable almost completely down to the decimal!

Its the MSI NF980A an NForce 980 Board

take a look at dumo's screens...see what he's running?

Single stage

WHUT!!

5-core 6 ghz on singlestage?

well what type of corsair is what now i want to know and whats singlestage?

 

[cadaveca]

Corsair GTX2, probably. I think GT's are just fine for AM3 though.

Actual sticks aren't important..just look at the NB and mem speed and timings. Buy matching stuff. Any brand, that works on AM3.

 

[dumo]

6G with LN2. It happened when I tested turbo and unlocker enabled, cpu1 disabled by default in bios.
Mem is GT 1600 C6

 

[cadaveca]

Mem is GT 1600 C6

AM3 or Intel version? Doesn't matter tho, I suppose. Probably jsut the same sticks with differnt SPD...do they have the tall heatspeaders?

And do you see any use in that stupid noisy fan?

Single Stage is short for Single Stage Phase Change cooling. Kinda like a freezer, but all the freezing power in concentrated on the small area of the cpu, allowing below freezing temps under load.

This one from Newegg http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=117953

Any kind of fan will help. Rarely push it >1.73V though.

This mem good up to 1950 C7...more then GTX2 probly better

 

[trt740]

this is better for a low voltage core speed

but to get to 4.0ghz takes a bunch more voltage on this motherboard

 

[fullinfusion]

I hope the Crosshair IV is going to be a good board, I just gave in and ordered one...

 

[cadaveca]

Then you want to hear this:

BIOS 0801 will be released tomorrow. Some additional fine tuning for memory performance improvements, additional voltage tweaks on auto settings, additional voltage tweaks on core 0, and a few other items. Still working on HT/NB auto settings to clock past 2400MHz when HTT exceeds 240, right now you need to switch to manual clock settings on both. Also, additional fine tuning for Thuban power management is still coming.

 

[brandonwh64]

I would love to see what kinda clocks a DDR2 motherboard would get with a x6 1090T

 

[fullinfusion]

Then you want to hear this:

cool, I wont have the board till monday and not likely to have it installed till later on in the week...

I feel so crippled atm and really it's no fun.

 

[trt740]

OK. Here's my first Thuban screenies. 4.2ghz on 1.44 is not too shabby, especially when I'm just getting started...

Let's see some stability testing.

update us

I'm doing some y-cruncher stress testing at 4.0 and memory at 1840 8-8-8-20 (NB/HTT at 2800). Once I see how high/tight I can get these Geil 2133 sticks (Elpida Hyper MNH-E IC's), then I'll start clocking the cpu again. These sticks are sick on AM3. Within the week, I'll be running 8GB of them, with 4GB up for sale soon.

Calling out CHIV owners,

So far what do you guys think of the CHIV?
