So, 40-45 is too much you think?
Damn, gotta make some ice cubes tonight to test it! Well OK, doesn't hurt a try.
@QuiteIce,
How high have you manage to push your 3500LL Pro and at what timings and voltage?
I have mine at 285Mhz 3-3-3-6,1/1,2.8v in Bios.
If i loose the timings to 3-4-4-8 push the voltage at 2.9,is worth it or i am going to have less performance because of the loosen timmings?
stealth
3-3-3-6 @ 285 MHz is practically the same as 3-4-4-8 @ 300 MHz... I've tried to tighten the timings, but it's impossible @ 300 MHz, not even when loosening anything else I seem to be able to tighten it.
The point is, bandwith and timings go hand in hand, but equals out after a point. 3-3-3-6 @285 MHz is good... my 3-4-4-8 @ 300 MHz gives me approx 40~41ns latency on the sticks and really nice bandwith aswell.. I imagine your bandwith is somewhat lower, but the low-low latency weighs up for it - main point is... 3-3-3-6 @ 285 MHz is nice enough ;) And by the way... I had to go command rate 2T to be able to do it, are you are 1T? If so... nevermind clocking further, you are fine ;)
Then you are superfine at 285 MHz with those timings! ;) I'd wish mine would do 300 MHz with 1T. They boot fine, and I can test them there to, but orthos fails, and sooner or later they do BSOD, always... much more sooner then later atually :( It's not the heat, cause I've tested them at 1T @ like 5c roomtemp, so i guess I'm stuck....at a pretty good speed, so it really doesen't matter for me either, I'll stick to 2T there :)
3,1Ghz @ 1.525V is not that bad ... mine does 3,2Ghz with 1.35V :D with 14°C watertemp.
i ordered opteron 170, still waiting to arrive. it seems i got LCBQE 0722RPBW. i'm looking into adding some more RAM into my sistem so i have a question here... can opterons run DDR400 RAM at 400MHz when all 4 slots are used with double sided modules, or i will have to ride it at 333MHz (as with winchesters)? i have MSI K8N Neo4-F.
your answers are greatly appreciated!!!
P.S. what do you think about the stepping, is it good for o'clocking?
The stepping is really good, i also have an LCBQE 0722 (but RPAW). But in the german forum a guy has an RPBW, he hits the 3Ghz with 1.35V. So, have fun with the CPU :)
whew.. 3Ghz at 1.261V. you sure got it rocking, but why not go higher? what about your temps, are you on air or water?

My 24/7 config with my new "old" UCCC RAM is 3,1Ghz with 1.36V. This should be enough ;)
nice, very nice!
p.s. do you have any info on the "4 sticks of RAM" issue?
it should run 4 sticks fine BUT you will be running 2T command.
also note that some motherboards can start to limit mem clocks on 4 sticks due to signaling/noise issues. nothing much can be done about that...
It's not just depending on the MB. The CPU also plays an important role because of the integrated memory controller. I'd never run 4 sticks ... why should I? 4x512MB is much more work for the IMC and therefore your overclocking results may be worse. I'm always on the secure side and always run 2 sticks.
Some new review CPUs can run 1T with 4 sticks, but it's very rare.
then i better start searching a replacement for my 2x512s...
This week I'll get some UCCC that run min. 273Mhz. I'll test them as soon as possible. Are you interested? If yes, let's talk per PM ..
Hello all,
Im gonna just have to hope im putting my info where it needs to be.....
At the moment:
A8N32SLI
Opty 165 "naked"
Zalman 9700
NS G.Skills (2GB)
610w PC Power & cooling
LIAN LI PC-61
Viewsonic 20' 1050x1680
7900GS (P&Y :rolleyes: ),...
and obviously replaced ALL thermal compound in the entire PC
Pair of pics,...one 3.0ghz, one the 24/7 2.8ghz.

Interested in buying them fora good price :)
hm, first i need to decide what i'm going to do with my current modules.
ebay? ^^
i still don't know, a friend of mine ordered it from newegg, and i'm still waiting it to arrive.
how high are your temps? is XP-90 better then the stock cooler?
