Improving san diego 3700+ oC?

[madgravity34]

I have the following setup:

Dfi ultra-d
3700+ sandiego core rev. E4-SH
Enermax 600w noisetaker (SLI certified)
XFX 7800gtx (490/1300 stocks clocks oc'd to 427/1400 stock cooler w/ no artifacts and load at 78C!!)
2 x 512mb ocz gold vx (260fsb at 260mhz)
160gb seagate sata hd
zalman 7700 on cpu
blah blah blah


My san diego can do 260 x 11 at 1.64V with a load temp around 44-45C. It can bench all day and in fact I do... :banana:

I have heard from some people though, that with a cpu-burn in, they can reduce thier vcore and remain with the same oc? Is this possible and how? Also, any suggestions as to how to increase my OC?


I cant seem to get my ram to go any higher at 3.5V. I have even lowered timings to 2.5,3,3,8 and still wouldnt pass memtest86+ at 270!! Not even one pass!!! Would run till test 5 give a few thousand errors and then continue on...


Any advice!!!! NEed help!!

O yes...I am running bios 623-3.

not all UTT will hit 270...even with that voltage and those timings...start at 240-250 at 2-2-2-5 and work your way up.

[madgravity34]

well its gold vx pc4000 so its stock rated at 250 2-2-2-5 at 3.3V so I figured I could get more than 260 w/ 2-2-2-5 but even if not that at least with lower timings!!!

[ChongL]

hmm...you may just have a bad overclocking set...does it do the rated timings? All they guarantee is 2-2-2-5 at 250MHz and nothing more

[madgravity34]

yes it does do the rated, like i said, it can do 260 at 2-2-2-5 but it wont do anything higher even at higher volts and lower timings.

looks like you topped out your memory then

[madgravity34]

anyway to get more out of the cpu even if I have to use a divider?
