What's your memory assessment speed?

[smarteyeball]

very nice

How can you tell?

By looking at the numbers



You can also tell whether someone has Hyper-threading (on intel iX systems) enabled or disabled)

ie:

This was with mostly stock timings @ 4.2ghz with HT disabled:










And this was with mostly stock timings @ 4.0ghz with HT enabled:









Notice that even though there is huge difference between the HT disabled/enabled Winsat scores -

There is actually very little difference in the Read/Write/Copy/Latency scores in the Everest benchmark.

This equates to virtually no discernible difference in real world usage.

However it's still fun pushing what you've got past 'reccomended specs'

Very interesting, didn't know HT had that affect on Winsat.

No overclocking here buddy all stock speeds. I think its the Phenom memory controller doing a good job with the Corsair memory. Ian

 

[Dave76]

That's a really good RAM score, don't think I've ever seen DDR2 800 over 10k before, congrats

 

[snod33]

Cheers mate.

No problem, honest I wasn't trying to hold a gun to your head

I see we have the same mobo and same ram, therefore the same BIOS!!
You can do me a step by step guide to O/C.

Here's mine:

Hi Chase,

That's a good score if it's DDR2, maybe not so good if it's DDR3, maybe.

With a little info we can see how your RAM is working compared to other systems with similar hardware and settings

On a voluntary basis only

Someone might benefit from your specs/info, or someone might be able to give you a suggestion to improve your RAM performance.

Hi Guys ,

Ok so I got some new memory for my PC when I upgraded a few other bits the other week , the memory is 4gb DDR2 OCZ titanium running totally stock 800mhz with 4-4-4-15 timings.

Does this score look about right?

I really have no idea what it should be.

Cheers

Paul.

 

[fastslvblkcar]

it's 1066 but running at 1040 still ddr2 though

Looks good.

Are you using IDE or AHCI for your HDD?

it's 1066 but running at 1040 still ddr2 though

That's running fast, Really Nice for DDR2

 

[fastslvblkcar]

thanks man it's pulling 7.7 in wei too. however there is 8 gigs of it too.

 

[paulpicks21]

Hi Dave,

Not too sure if its IDE or AHCI for the HDD

Had a quick look in the bios but couldn't see anything to indicate which it is.

Cheers

Paul.

Your Memory Assessment is almost the same as my 8GB DDR3 Dual channel.
I'm getting the same WEI memory score.

Can't complain about that

Look under "Integrated Peripherals" should be something like 'SATA Control Mode'.
Look for IDE, RAID or ACHI, the RAID or AHCI are the settings you want.
Let us know if it's in IDE, it's not just selecting it in BIOS. It will Blue Screen if you try it, but there is an easy way to switch it.

Check your motherboard manual.

You can get the Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Manual <here

 

[paulpicks21]

Many thanks for you help Dave.

I have just had a look in the bios under "intergrated peripherals" and the only things I can see that mention IDE are titled - "On chip primary Pci IDE" which is currently set as enabled , then it has "On chip secondary Pci IDE" which is also set to enabled and finally something that says "On chip sata mode" which is set to auto.

Cheers

Paul.

Underclocking... oh well...

My RAM is better than my mobo can handle so it's apparently running at 400, instead of 533, I verified this via CPU-Z and checked G-Skill's web site on qualified motherboards, mine not listed (see my system specs), that and past attempts tweaking with my settings in BIOS failed miserably.

I get BSOD's immediately booting into windows if I change anything in BIOS overclock settings, even though this is just trying to get my memory to it's rated potential, mediocre motherboarditis!

The good news is, my system runs more than satisfactory, though I had kind of forgot about this, and got mad yet again about it, briefly.
Very stable system, just a bummer.

I see Everest basically dropped it's free 'HOME' version like a rock, so old it couldn't show my memory info.
They have their Ultimate edition on sale, which tells me they are about to go to a new version, wondering if they pull the upgrade cost for new version routine even if I just bought it a few months ago, I really hate that sales tactic, A LOT! (cranky on RAM still...)

Also, do winsat ? to see all the options, can check direct-x even.
