Overclocking weirdness

[Orthogonal]

I'm playing around with my old rig trying to get some good overclocks.
2500+, 1GB LL Dual Channel memory, 9800Pro and an nF2 board.

When running the 3DMarkXX Benchmarks, If I run my memory at DDR460 I get a lower score than when I run it at DDR450 with the same timings(2-3-3-10) and multiplier(9). Any Ideas why this would happen? :confused:

That is pretty odd. Maybe your cpu is too hot and downclocks itself to save itself?? What temp is your cpu running at.

this is pretty odd, I have seen this kinda thing happen with gfx card clocks but never with cpu/mem. My old 9800pro game me lower or same benchies after a certain clock speed and I thought that was weird as well.

It probly means that the RAM is getting unstable, try to loosen the timings

If your running 1:1 then it might be CPU and/or RAM

I am running 1:1, and the CPU Temp never got above 47C... I'll try loosening the timings and see what happens. Thx for the input.
