Thanks for the tips but no go. 2.5-2-2-5 beats 2.5-3-3-10 in all my benchmarks (Super PI, CPU mulimedia, CPU Arithmetic,CS:S stress test, PCMARK and 3dmark03) except Memory bandwidth where 2.5-2-2-5 gets on average 6575.33/6543.33 and 2.5-3-3-10 gets 6977.75/6899.875 . Ive tested 2.5-2-2-5...

Ive been wanting to get 2.5-2-2-5 ddr510 out of my ram for ages and have finally done so. My trouble is i am getting less bandwidth, and inturn a slower system than when i had 2.5-3-3-10. I have discovered the reason for this is that i had to turn my tREF seting in bios to 0128 for me to be...

Well not a crash yet! Although 1 in 6 boot ups of the machine take a long time, my hdd stops for a few minsa then starts again!. I have a question about RAM if anyone can help me. I would like to add more RAM to my machine. I currently have 2x512 in dual channel. Can i add 2x1024 to make...

Well im cying about nothing. I defragmented my two paartitions and now my movies play smoother than ever ( im used to linux ). I am really apprechiating your help rob. I do however get a bios beep at the login screen when i boot up sometimes. I ve checked codes but one beep for pheonix bios...

True i think i would try oc it anyway lol. yyeah i tried divx and medai player which made me think it was the divx codec at first. I guess ill have to watch a bunch of movies with the system stock and hope it pauses and starts aswell

I see. Thats a bummer for me, i was hopeing everything would be dead stable. I might just splash out on an expensive cpu and a more stable motherboard. seems a shame really.

well ive done all types of prime95 an passes 24 hrs with all of he, my games run fine too. I do however have stuttering about three times when playing a divx movie, soemtimes i have to copletly restart the movie. it does it on any movie and doesnt do it when the system is not overclocked. Its...

Well my computer is still working!woo hoo. I thought id do some more stability testing even though theres prob no need. Earlier on in the thread in place TFTs was the suggestion fo running prime95. After googling for 10 mins i was shocked to see i couldnt find any clear documemtation on which...

Note the sig change. This had to be done because i decided to to more stress testing in my room with the windows shut on a boiling hot day. Now i am happy to say this config is stabe even in a very hot room which is what i wanted. Thanks alot for your help. Ive just done some benchmarks and...

Well its official, whats in my sig is 100% stable. Thanks guys. Yes it was backwards! oops. Ill take that into account ( about temps ). Somethong is making my antec neopowers fan speed up! perhaps it is the ram. Ill put that fan in and let you guys know what differance it makes if your...

Maybe defensive. So do you think there will be much difference in 2.6ght 2.5-2-3-10 over 2.55ghz 2.5-3-3-10. The first settings will be what id use with less noise without another fan and the second set is what i think id get with a fan on my ram. thanks

I didnt ever say i was adament on getting the most out of my ram in order to install gentoo. However i do need it stable before i install gentoo. If you know anything about that distro then you'll be familier with the fact that alot of compiling needs to take place in order to run the system...

I get the picture. The reason i spent £90 on case was to allow good cooling and thus a quieter sysytem. Seems im forced to use a fan on my ram if i want it overclocked! Im stable now 2.5-3-3-10 drr 510 @2V6+V03. Anymore voltage or any tighter timings and errors appear. It seems certain now that...

Good idead but there .16TG ones. WEll iv run memtest #5 21 times @ 2.5-3-3-10 ddr510 2V6+V03 and its stable. running all memtests now. So the extra 5mhz fsb must be making the memory unstable and not the voltage i have an old fan out of a dell optiplex GX1...

Urg not stable. Back to one of your ealier questions rob i am stable 2.5-3-3-10 2V7 Would someone please answer these questions for me, i think they would help me alot 1) Would cooler memory run able me to run more stable? I thought it was just to make the chips last longer. 2) Would...
