What's your memory assessment speed?

[ZaLiTH]

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.

I doubt it hey, the main reason I'm going for a tri-core is because my board doesn't have very good support for the higher-spec CPUs.. I can only run AMD CPUs of 125w or lower, and even the 125w processors are not recommended by XFX. Seeing as many of the Phenom II x4 CPUs are 125w to 140w, I want to try avoiding putting too much strain on my board.

Besides, a 720BE will give me 3 cores at 2.8GHz with an unlocked multiplier, which means my CPU will be way better than my current 5400+ and I can finally unleash the full potential of my Corsair RAM. I know these babies can do so much more than 8600MB/s...

This rigs about Four years old and I replaced my old 120gig HD and my 7800gt Vid card with this setup now
AMD64 athlon X2 5200+, evga9800gt, 2 Samsung 500gighd, soundblaster X-FI Xtream auido, mobo M2N sli-delux and 4 Corsair 1gig ddr2 800 sticks of ram

There is something seriously wrong with my memory speed right?

 

[antharr]

Not too bad.

My 6GB OCZ Platinum DDR3 @ 1600Mhz 7/7/7/24 T1:

 

[spyknee]

Heres mine.
Kingston 1333MHz DDR3@ 1466MHz
6GB's, $100 US

Resmon tells me that only 2 gig out of the 16 on board are being used.

(...)

Try as I might, I cannot get the system to use more than 3 gig of RAM

(...)

It's better, but I'm still not happy with it. And I'm really baffled by the seeming 3 or 4 gig limit on RAM.

Unsure which exactly options you do have on your Tyan BIOS, but I strongly believe you should have somewhere an option to map memory past 3Gb.

Double check on your motherboard manual if you do have such option. I have used a couple dual and quad opterons in the past and some of them had all the way up to 64Gb RAM fully visible to the system.

Was pulling 21,500-ish @ 4.0ghz with HT enabled:








Disabled hyper threading and went up to 4.2ghz:




As you can see, outside of of Winsat - the 'performance' difference is virtually negligible.

 

[Dave76]

Maybe if you run it a couple more times it might get to 35k

Went up 2k from the first to the third run.

That's the highest score I've seen yet.

 

[Snakeyeskm]

My Latest Winsat.
Very nice overclock on the i7 920 smarteyeball

 

[Dave76]

I stand corrected.

Nice score Snakeyeskm :shock:

 

[Snakeyeskm]

I stand corrected.

Nice score Snakeyeskm :shock:

Thanks Dave76. I am lucky to have the updated Elpida Hyper Memory and a i7 960. What smarteyeball has done with his memory and i7 920 is pretty impressive.

Cheers mate. Yours is looking pretty damn sweet there too

(you were running the platinums previously weren't you?)

Ironically I had to 'relax' some of the timings closer back to stock to make it through a 'quick' 50 pass on LinX and am getting a minutely higher bandwidth with the same latency :huh:



Looks like there is some more tweaking to do yet

 

[FCVPI99]

ok so i have
1 set of Patriot Viper II 2X2GB Memory PV224G8500ELKB
suppose to be 1066
can anyone tell me what im looking at LOL

 

[smarteyeball]

can anyone tell me what im looking at LOL

Your bandwidth

Although you should be getting a higher total if it's actually running @ 1066mhz with the rated timings of 5-5-5-15

Download CPU-Z and post a screenshot of the Memory tab.

ie: Pay attention to the DRAM frequency - if it's only showing 400mhz, then your RAM is only running @ DDR2 800mhz speeds.




It should be showing 533mhz etc

 

[FCVPI99]

man i have to get up to day on this new ram before this computer i was on PC 3200 DDR1

i have it set like they told me in the bios 5-5-5-15 and the voltage of 2.1 do u think i can get a little more out of it?? im trying to make up for the fact im poor and couldnt afford 1000.00 for an extreame chip so i have a locked CPU chip (im stuck at 2.83) but i never see it go over 2.0 (333-X-6.0 when it should be 333-X-8.5) -- i finally got my video card to run at the 650 and not 500 i still need alot of tuning which i dont know how to really do LOL

 

[spyknee]

Turned off cpu core parking.
Disabled Hyper-Threading.

Well it's running at 1066mhz spec...

There are bound to be few different BIOS options to try.

The Q9550 has a 8.0-8.5 multi. The 6.0 / 2.0Ghz sounds like Speedstep. (if reading from CPU-Z)

You should be able to Overclock that chip to 3.2 -3.4 on stock cooling quite easily.

Slow?



Hm. I had thought my Dell laptop was fairly quick, but my memory assessment showed 2419 Mb/sec. I have 2G RAM @ 1.46 GHz and to my untrained eye it looks like it's performing slower than it should. Or do I have this wrong?

The '1.46GHz' would be your CPU, not the RAM speed. If you download CPU-z from CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting and check the 'Memory' tab at the top, that will tell you more information regarding your RAM speeds.
