What's your memory assessment speed? [2]

It's a mystery Ryan. I suspect a higher score has more to do with the RAM timings and frequency that the amount of it. The efficiency of a given CPU's memory controller comes into play too. ex: some i5s can run RAM at 2400 easily, mine however can't, 2133 is the max I have been able to get.

Cheers chap
A lot of luck then aye

This is pretty much the best I can get from 8GB of Dual channel.

This is with changing the BCLK to 103 which gives a ram speed of 2472Mhz. Strangely though I can get the ram to run at 2600Mhz just by changing the frequency but that speed has an adverse effect on the performance and it will only hit 29000.

Great score there Paul! Are the 2011 boards more tolerant to raising the FSB then 1155?

Thanks Gary,

I have no idea about 2011 boards though. I didn't change to 2011 in the end, I just got a new 1155 and stuck with my i7 3770K.


Paul.

And thanks Ryan and Doug,

I got my RMA number back from G.Skill so I will be sending the faulty 8GB back to them soon, I think it's gonna take a while as I have to send them to the Netherlands!

Paul.
