What's your memory assessment speed? [2]

[Britton30]

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?

Me to Kelly!

Nice 1 Paul, Great score mate

Great scores Paul

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.

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.

At least you have 8GB still, and you probably use about half of that for normal-heavy usage........still in good shape.

Yes, I was thinking that last night Kelly. Lucky I didn't buy it as a 16gb kit!

 

[ganjiry]

Just a thought mate but as you've only had to send 8Gb back you may end up with a set that won't play nice with the current set.

As for RMA's, I was very impressed with Corsair's customer service as they arranged to express rma me a replacement for my H100 as i'd told them posting my unit to the netherlands was out of the question due to being on a low income and i didn't want any down time. I hadn't replaced it at this time. Over a week ago i was told that a replacement had been shipped but lastnight they sent me another email telling me to forget the email about the express rma as they have arranged a ups pickup of my unit. Once recieved they'll send my replacement "promptly" :sarc:
They have been told from the start that i could just rma it to the retailer in the uk but no they think F**kin me about is the way to do things
I shall just cancel the rma and do it through ebuyer as i know people that have sent psu's back to them and are still waiting for a replacement over a year later :O

You don't need it...you just want more...

We really like it, we want more, we want more.

At least you have 8GB still, and you probably use about half of that for normal-heavy usage........still in good shape.

To be fair, I use about 40GB with just my normal background programs thanks to features such as SuperFetch, but then that's after I've run some AV type programs and played some video games. I leave my computer on pretty much 24/7 crunching for BOINC and hosting a Minecraft server too.

I do have a RAM drive too though (currently just 5GB, and not included in the 40GB).

You use 40GB of RAM??? Like, it actually says you have 40GB in use?

 

[Britton30]

Maybe 5-6 virtual machines running?

 

[Wrend]

Most of it is currently being used as a cache.

 

[paulpicks21]

Nice Wrend, did you ever post a winsat mem score? I can't remember now.
