Ok, Forum! Last test this year
So far, the system is stable and i got a little more juice out of the 16GB of RAM :) i was able to tight the timings up to 8-8-8-24 (CR1) with another s#!†load of numbers that i really can't remember right now... but i got them so tight that if i try to get them any tighter, the PC won't boot... I just tested the system with LinX for 5 runs (and man, that was some hardcore test) well, test passed with honors... 82.4175 GFlops max.
My WEI went up for the RAM (7.6 to 7.7 )
When i was messing into the UEFI BIOS, i realized that with my MB (MSI PH67A-C43) i have an overclocking feature for the CPU (but i really don't know how that works being my CPU a non "K" processor) thing is that i can bump the multiplier up to 32, i set it to 32 (meaning the processor should jump to 3.20GHz) and the BIOS sees it at 3.20GHz after saving the changes and rebooting, but when i go into windows, the processor stays at 2.90GHz (verified in CPU-Z) i still don't know what could be happening there i'll try to figure it out in a couple of minutes...
Meanwhile i'll leave some screenshots of the test, temps are AMAZING having a 27ºC room temperature, this Tt Frío rules!
EDIT: well, turns out that the CPU overclock is possible (i got it working and reported in CPU-Z) but it only goes up 100MHz (up to 3.00GHz) i guess it's a limitation for the non-K processors.. and since 100MHz is only a 3.44% OC, I don't know if it's really worth it.. i'll go to bed and check tomorrow your thoughts, Forum :) good night!
