What's your memory assessment speed?

[ZaLiTH]

Can someone take a look at these and tell me if it looks right on the black box one is that red a slight overclock and how in geneal does it seem peformance wise
thanks Rob

The "overclock" you're seeing there is nothing more than a slight frequency fluctuation, all PC components tend to do that to a certain degree. Your RAM is rated at 400MHz (800MHz DDR), and was running at 402MHz when you took that screenshot. So no, you won't see a performance boost because of an extra 0.5% higher clock speed...

Other than that, looks like you got a pretty decent system there. Nice CPU choice by the way, not top of the line, but you won't need to upgrade anytime too soon.

Cheers im happy with it and won the bet cpu motherboard and ram was like new cost me £120 on ebay

 

[dgwin7]

No, That is 4GB DDR 3 1866.

Time to update your system specs then

Thanks I forgot about it for change spec

It's Kingston Ram

Is anyone here familiar with or maybe even using OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Reaper HPC RAM (link)...? I'm looking at possibilities for an upgrade in Jan, but I'm not familiar at all with OCZ memory, I've been a big Corsair fanboy for a few years, but their DDR3 is way more expensive than OCZ (well, in this country at least).

I'm looking to get the MSI 890FXA-GD70 board with a Phenom II x3 720BE, the board only takes DDR3, so the memory is a must. For the Corsair equivelent to this OCZ kit, I'm looking at just over R1800, while this OCZ kit is around R1300.. Anyone comments? If I do take the Corsair, I'll have to get the 720BE at a later stage though.


EDIT: Ok, I changed my mind... Again... Lol. I want to do more research before I jump on the DDR3 bandwagon, so I'll stick with my current board for a while longer. But I will be getting a Phenom II x3 720BE and replacing my RAM with a 2x2GB Corsair Dominator PC8500 kit (DDR2-1066) when I get my Christmas bonus this year.

With that Intel core i7 980x processor no wonder you're called 'thehappyman'!

I just upgraded to the Kingston Valueram DDR2 PC-6400. I just found out about this test. My screen is attached. Seems a bit low according to others' results. How can I fix this?

Looking at your system specs, your motherboard is listed as a "P5N-E", is that the Asus P5N-E SLI? If so, then I'm not sure you'd really be able to get more performance out of your PC-6400 RAM...

This review here shows similar a speed from the same board and similar CPU with Corsair RAM: ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard review > System Specs & Memory Performance - TechSpot

My board on the other hand, with similar RAM to the review linked here, gets way higher speeds (about 8600Mb/s when running at 880MHz with 5-5-5-15 timings, and about 8300MB/s at default settings). When I say similar RAM, mine has default timings of 5-5-5-18, where the RAM in the TechSpot review is 4-4-4-12, so mine should be slower.

Hi, came across this thread and thought I would share

 

[Dave76]

Nice scores, do you got that OC'ed just a wee bit?

 

[ZaLiTH]

Hi, came across this thread and thought I would share

Those are pretty awesome scores... Just wondering, but did you need to set your RAM timings 8-8-8-20 just to OC that small amount...? Your sig shows "Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-1600 C7", so you might even be able to tighten the timings a little bit there.

Corsair's site shows recommended timings of 7-8-7-20 for that kit, so you should theoretically be able to make them even tighter than that..

 

[mastypk]

Here is mine, how it is?

 

[Dave76]

Good scores, they are fine for the i5-750 (? - specs say i5-720) system.
