Yeah, I guess I just need to run all my benchmarks and see how they compare. I don't really like using a divider.. but oh well. I can't believe how high I can overclock that Super Talent memory... Now if I could only get some super high quality RAM instead. ;)

Ok, going 1:1 I can get about 2,875 mhz stable... If I mem divide and lower the HTT to 3x, I can get a little over 3 ghz stable... Not too shabby! 800mhz overclock on air. Anyway, I don't know which is better overall for gaming. The 2,875 mhz on 1:1 or the 3 gig on mem divider.

Traded my 3700+ and got the Opty 148. So far I am 2.9 GHZ... 30 c Idle 48 c Prime95 full load/temp I don't know if I should try to push it even further :confused:

Sweeeeet! I will have him order that for sure. Now, since I will be using the same DDR500 RAM, I will probably have to use a mem divider on the Opty to get those high of scores right?

That is right but shouldn't I be able to set my HTT to 4 @ 200 FSB and it equals = 800? So using that combined with a memory divider, I thought you could normally overclock higher...

Oh ok. Yeah, I think it is my memory holding me from going any further. I have read a lot of 3700+ reviews and other Gigabyte board forums and everyone says that TCCD RAM (Especially A.DATA and G-Skill brands) works best in our boards. Most are reporting 280-320 FSB when using that RAM...

LOL --- I thought that HTT was the multiplayer for the FSB. Like you could do a 166mhz memory divider and a 3x HTT divider. I play Perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2 mostly.. but I am addicted to Everquest II right now

Yeah, it's a nice little hookup. I will try to swing the Optie, who knows... I'll keep ya posted. Yeah, I go into the BIOS and I have tried HTT 4x and 3x and when I check my clock speeds they are exactly the same as if I hadn't done anything. Very stange... Just noticed your gamertag --...

LOL! Hey man, you are the expert. I will throw in the 3200+ and see what I can get with that new memory just in case. About the $$$, I got the upgrades for "free".. I just do side jobs for my friend and he takes my old hardware for credit. I didn't pay a cent.. He said he could try to...

Everest @ 2772 mhz (No divider man, it's running 1:1 !) Memory Read: 6900 MB/s Memory Write: 2535 MB/s Memory Latency: 42.6 Hmmmm... I am pretty happy with this overclock. I have no idea if the Opty would go higher or the Venice. Although, I have more cache with the Opty or San...

Hmmm.. my VDIMM is at the highest setting in the BIOS... +0.2 V? Doesn't that equal 2.7? I am a little confused though because I tried using a memory divider (166mhz) and lowering the HTT to 3x but it didn't change my CPU speed settings at all. By the way, I am doing this all in Windows...

Ok, sorry I didn't give the full info on my last post. My supplier couldn't get the Opty so I had to go with the 3700+. I loosened up my mem timings and now I am running this stable. Here is my CPU and memory info: CPU http://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cpu25xx.jpg MEM...

Just IMHO, Futuremark is getting WAY ahead of itself. It reflects nothing in real life gaming and your machine has two age two years just to run the stupid thing above 5 FPS. If my system can run any game that is out on the market today at smooth settings, I don't care what a 5 FPS benchmark...

Ok, I got my stuff and here are my stable results running 1:1 Any suggestions to get higher? EDIT: It's nice though that on these settings I can run Everquest II pretty smooth at 1600x1200 extreme quality settings! Gotta keep pushing it though...

You guys have been EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. I will post my results when I receive them this weekend! SEE YOU THEN! :cool:
