What's your memory assessment speed? [2]

[ZaLiTH]

First things first, I was somewhat mistaken with the speed.. It's just over 15k, not 17k MB/s. Which isn't much better than the 12k I got with my DDR2-1066 on my previous board.

ZaLiTH, Are you sure it is in Dual channel? I had an issue with mine when setting to 1600, it was at 17k until moving the RAM to dual channel and it went up to 21.9k (close to dude's)

(I am running on an AMD platform with an FX chip)

Yup, definitely dual channel. I haven't overclocked anything yet with my new machine, but I did tighten the timings to the recommended values. Still, I'm getting these sort of speeds...

Zalith that is only slightly less than what I can get with a 965BE and 1866 RAM.

Maybe setting DRAM to unganged would help. mine is unganged, but I have a newer FX chip. the FX chip is also OC'ed a little... maybe something else is limiting the speed....

Ganged should always be the better performer. The RAM specs they quote are for default settings, that's what the Deneb supports.

Squeezed a little more out of it setting it at 1866, not a big increase but my ram wei is 7.9 now

Nice 1 Dude

Thanks guys, I'm still having fun playing with the rig. Gonna play with the GPU next. Edit-Figured I would stay on this task and leave the gpu as is. Squeezed some more.

I can't see the numbers, the snip is way too small. Upload the whole image as saved to SF.

This is the preferred, best way to upload an image to a post.

You may also upload a photo without using the Snipping tool.

 

[Dude]

Hope this is better

 

[Britton30]

Hope this is better

Much, but you can use the snipping tool to only include the cmd window, or press ALt+PRNTSCRN and then paste into Paint, this will capture the active window only, thus....

 

[Dude]

Thanks, I forgot the cpu-z.

 

[ganjiry]

Nice result Dude

 

[Britton30]

New version of CPUz is out too.

I have a question for you guys, I have OC my RAM just changing the DRAM Frequency in my Bios. I have the DRAM Reference clock to auto, which has the option of AUTO, 200, and 266. Should I leave that on Auto, or try 266. I'm asking cause I wanted to try 2400, but the computer wouldn't boot. Could I try setting the timings manual, or is auto the best?

I think you proberly hit the limit for your ram Dude, 2400mhz out of some 1600mhz ram is a pretty heavy overclock to go for.

[Dude]

Thanks Paul, I was afraid that was gonna be my answer.

Wouldn't voltage increases also become necessary after a certain level? A Guy

now I can try for more....just kidding, I'm pretty sure I won't get more out of it.
