What's your memory assessment speed?

[fastslvblkcar]

just a little fsb tweaking got me there. thanks!

Hmm, I've just tried this on my DDR3 now. I have 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, and I only get around 6900MB/s in dual channel. I'm pretty sure I should be getting slightly higher than that

So I came back to this. As I bought the 3x2GB stick off a friend, I popped the 3rd stick in, fired up comp, and re-did the speed test. The speeds were exactly the same, and it was reported to still be in dual channel.. :huh:

Your processor is dual channel, as well as your board.

Looks like your speed is a bit slow.

I have a dual channel processor and board, 4X2GB XMS3 DDR3 1600 and get 19,424 MB/s.

Did you check the RAM settings in BIOS?
Voltage and timings.

Did you leave them at default settings or change them to the manufacturer specs?

Do you have a Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) setting?

This will automatically set the RAM to manufacturer specs. If the voltage is higher than default it might increase the voltage on your processor, so check that before and after enabling XMP.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:
Just found this on a review of your MOBO: "The CPU and memory busses are “fully” independent of each other allowing you to pretty much dial up whatever speed you wish for each."

I've tried everything I can think of and just pretty much given up with it now. The fastest I could get it with two sticks in is around 7,000MB/s, I then just tried putting a 3rd stick in just to see how it affected speeds, and it knocked about 30MB/s off. I'll be upgrading again at the end of the year, probably to an i7 etc, and it's running fine at the moment, so I'll just hang on.

Changed my BCLK to 160 w/turbo on. Now running my ram at native 1600MHz. 2 x 2GB 1600MHz HyperX .

Will assume that's DDR3??

How about some specs so we can see what your running?

 

[Beemerke]

Kingston 2x2GB@1333Mhz 9/9/9/24 (isn't that suppose to be slow??)
No OC yet, will use the mobo OC button soon tho

Used the OC Genie button on my MSI mobo, before and after

 

[Dave76]

Good score, that's more like it

Those overclock buttons are nice.

Are they running at/near the manufacturer stated specs? Or above?

 

[Beemerke]

Don't know if you can see that in windows so just checked the bios.
Timings are the same: 9-9-9-24.
Guess DRAM frequenty is what the manufacturer lists, this is at 1552Mhz now instead of 1333Mhz so fast ram for a cheap price lol.
No idea what QPI Ratio is: 16, QPI Frequenty is 6208Mhz.

Here are my memory speeds

All looks good.

Good RAM, nothing slow about that

That's a good score for your DDR3 triple channel.

Looking at your system specs, we have the same RAM, only difference is mine is a 2x 1GB setuo while yours is a 2x 2GB... Man I can't wait to change my CPU, I bet that's one of the biggest reasons your speed is more than double mine; I average 8600MB/s when I test that.

playing about with my NB has given huge increase in performance
i bought my ram about 6 months ago for £35 from ebuyer the next day they went upto £90 and today there still the same price what is scandalous

Nice rig

Is yours running cool with that CM Hyper 212, keeps mine really cool

Great score on the RAM

 

[A Guy]

It idles around 30c. I ran OCCT for 6 hours and one core hit 60c once. Hovered around 55-57. Mind, I never do anything to run my CPU even 30%, so I'm more than happy with that. A Guy

 

[Dave76]

Mine is the same, at 3.66 GHz with Prime95 it hit 62c.

At 3.36running Prime95 was 59c.

I'm using stepping, during average use it's 30c.

Hi i am getting 15300.41 on my 4gig Corsair PC2-6400 @ 400MHz. Pretty decent for DDR2.

 

[Dave76]

That's real good for DDR2

Hi i am getting 15300.41 on my 4gig Corsair PC2-6400 @ 400MHz. Pretty decent for DDR2.

Well, there's the fact that it's some of Corsair's most versatile RAM, and that the AMD Phenom II has a really decent memory manager... Very nice speed though! I can't wait to see what mine does when I get my hands on a Phenom II x3 720BE. That will be a good day.

 

[snod33]

ZaLiTH are you going to unlock the 4th core? did it with my 555 no problem. Maybe im lucky. Did prime95 for 24 hours no errors and it only got to 52 degrees. Good luck if you try it.
