Heres my setup : P4C800 Deluxe Rev 2 P4 2.6C OCZ Pc 4000 EL GOLD ( 2 x 256 ) Thermalright SLK-947, AS3, SmartCase Fan II Idle temps ( which i got from the Asus Utility @ Stock ) : 22 CPU, 25 MB I manged to do the following : CPU External Frequency : 260 DRAM Frequency : 400 ( 1 : 1 ) AGP/PCI Frequency : 66.66/33.33 CPU Vcore Voltage : 1.6250v DDR Reference Voltage : 2.85v Performance Mode : Turbo HyperThreading : Enabled CPUID Max Value Limit : Enabled Performance Accelerate Mode : Disabled I didnt try to mess with the Memory Timings, I set it to Auto. Thus i was hitting 3.38Mhz, with temps hovering around 32 CPU, 28 MB. I ran Prime95 ( Torture Test ) for 6.5 Hours and had no unstability Issues. The Problem is tht i cant go any future than 3.38 ... wht could be the bottle neck here ? How can i get more Mhz out of my CPU ? Taking into consideration tht i dont want to loose my Memory Bandwidth ... I want more 3d Marks Im stuck @ 19800 ( yes i tried all the drivers/tweaks )
You're running the memory at 260Mhz in 1:1 (260x13 = 3880Mhz) so you need to increase vDIMM in the bios if you're going to get anything more out of that memory, what's the max you can set it at? Try and get your timings as low as possible, the best you can get with PC4000 is 2-3-2-6, but that's at 200Mhz fsb, try and get something like 2.5-3-3-6 if you can. What graphics card are you running to get your 19k score? edit: nm just looked at your siggy.. what clocks are you using on you 9800pro?
Core : 398.25 Mem : 371.25 On my GPU. I dont know why i cant get any higher with the the Core. I start getting Artifacts over this ... The Max Vdimm volt is 2.85 ... And im not in the mood to Volt mod, I just got this new rig, i wouldnt want anything to go wrong. Should i go for the 5:4 Ratio ? ... But will it reduce my Pc Mark 2002 Mem Scores i.e all over Mem performance ... ? I dont know jack about memory timings, a little help could be appreciated ... Btw when i enable wht should i do about Turbo and PAT ?
Artifacts are caused by having your Mem to high, not your Core If it freezed, then you locked your core, try putting your mem at 365 and then take your core up. I have a Fx 5900 and that always held true to me, Core 535 Mem 999
