Well dual channel gets enabled automatically when you have the slots filled.

Where did you find out what your bandwidth is?

well thats what i thought and already knew, but from what other ppl are scoring on there mem bandwidth i am way too low and cannot figure out why. im in the middle of adjusting my timings and they are getting low for ddr3 especially at 1800mhz but barely making any difference (like about 200mb/s)

try this, open command propt window, type: winsat mem

see what you score as you have 4gb ddr2 (prob with low timings like 444/12? if not better)

hmm i dont know what to think any more. lol

with mem timings, are they all pretty much the same as in the lower the better? if it is the case i am at my peak with these modules and its stable.

this is a shot of my timings in nvidia bios access, but i dont use it i go direct to the bios this is just to take a shot of my settings. can anyone tell me is there anything wrong with them???

Something does seem wrong there bloke :huh:

Mine: ddr2 @888mhz 5-5-5-15 8GB:

Not sure, never had DDR3 to play with, I just had a play with mine and now it's at 900Mhz 5.5.5.14 and my performance went up.

Couldn't use the cmd one, it kept closing automatically once it had finished, but I found it in the xml document it outputs in Windows/Performance/WinSAT/datastore and I'm getting 6407MB/s. That's with 4GB of DDR2 overclocked from 667MHz to 750 at 5-4-4-12.

Your DDR3 should be getting peak bandwidth of 12000MB/s, so something isn't right.

You could try setting everything to stock and seeing if that makes a difference?

 

[smarteyeball]

run cmd as administrator

i have gone down to 1T but there was not much difference again.

were you going through 'run' or opening the actual cmd.exe promt? when i tried it through Run it kept doing what you said until i manually done it through cmd.

 

[Everlong]

I had to open it as admin like smartey said. I have UAC turned off mostly on Vista, so I forget about it in Windows 7

Just got a nice little score boost from 6.9 to 7.1 on my CPU and RAM

nice one, did you tweak it a bit more?

i miss my e8400 for that reason (its sitting in my q9550 box) i got a max of 4.22 on the 790i with the same air cooler im using now. best i got with my ddr2 was around 970mhz (corsair xms2 c4 4x1gb).

i find the 9550 harder to o.c. for some reason. 4ghz was a battle with this 790i. (mainly due to the core lane voltage settings)

 

[Mark]

The most I have pushed this one to is 4.5Ghz but it need to many volts and I was not going to give it any more, not that temps were a problem as I have water cooling, but that was just a suicide run to see what it could do.

thats awsome! what vcore did you need? i know mine wasnt too far over 1.375 (maybe 1.42) E8x series are good for o.cing in the duel cores.

 

[Mark]

I had it at 1.52v in CpuZ so it would have been set a little higher in the Bios.

Go mark.......


that is one sweet OC, im heading for the 4ghz barrier myself just waiting on new RAM, due to my chip only having a MAX multi of x8...

My e6300 is clocked to 2.8. This will run comfortably at 3.3 with stock cooling but 1GB of my memory doesn't like the overclock on the bus. 2.8 is fine for me though - up from 1.87
