heh so i thought i would share a glitch of mine i had about 2 years ago when i was overclocking a 2x1GB kit of G-Skill F1-PC4000 HZ. needless to say when i took this picture, it took 3 midgets to pick my jaw up off the ground.... i hope y'all enjoy :up:

aside from the rather high memory speed, what are we supposed to be looking for?
might just be that I had a 12 hour day but I don't see it.

just the ridiculous memory speed. ive never heard of DDR1 going that high. i dont know what i did to get it to run like that, but afterwords it never did that again. turns out it topped out at DDR540

It could be a glitch in MemTest. I have had plenty of those. Or you could have accidentally set the voltage to something like 4v and didnt realize it :P

DDR1 has gone that high. I think WR is like 400 but I'm not sure.

I saw a guy with something like 340 3-3-3

Nah, thats a divider glitch. My old Lanparty Ultra-D would do that in memtest if I had a memory divider set a certian way. It wouldn't pick up the true speed and go off some odd refrence. I doubt the budget pair of twinmos sticks I had would go over 300mhz.

i could get my old tcc5 to about 320+ 2.5-3-3-7, nowhere near stable, but for a screenshot, i've done it before. i never tried seeing how high it would go with loose timings.

i remember testing that ram, with the first settings i put on them, i got them to around 283mhz before i saw my first memtest error, i thought memtest wasn't working right :rofl:
