Nice!!! Don't mean to doubt you, but without pics everybody's prime stable at 6+ghz lol. It's an exciting time for the AMD enthusiasts with all the fantastic silicon they've been putting out. They're a generation behind, but as long as they're nipping at Intels heels it's a win-win for everybody.
Here's some new ram I'm working on, not bad for $50.

2x1 or one stick of 2x2 kit? or to make it easy, what ram? ;)
2x1, it says Dual Channel.Quote:

I will say these are sold as 1600 7-7-7. Only thing you can buy to match this that's almost guranteed is elpida hypers.....with the high failure rates not worth it for 2x1 g....
How much Vddr did 900 7-6-5-15 take? 2.2V? Nice ram. :up:
2.1 ;) voltage is always a last resort.Quote:

Yep. I'm sure a lot of us started that way....looking for more value.Quote:

The binning continues....mind you this is useless for real world just getting some sticks lined up for some 2d work......
This set is rather interesting in the fact that they hate voltage......oddly enough they are rated for 2.0v.........
Gonna see if i can break past this magical barrier with these.....I could run 1m higher with the other sticks....and error free in memtest but 32m would just lock.....:shrug:
1.95v $40 ram.

Magical barrier broken.
Unfortunately no matter what I do I can't go further.....one stick hates voltage......over 1.95v.......other stick wants voltage over 1.95v. Rock and a hard place type deal....not bad considering my ability to do anything with voltage was impaired....

Man you get all the fun lol.. Nice job as always ;)
Hey Slappa, just beat you best result but only just, at a lower frequency:

I haven't really pushed things yet, just 1.47Vcore at a 25ºC roomtemp.
The race to 15 seconds is on mate. ;)
Zeus asus is a tad faster in PI ;)
I forsee someone on MSI getting there before either of you ;)
Very nice.Quote:

Ok.......I should have stuck with my own teachings...anything is possible. Seems the gigabyte can keep up with the asus.
I narrowed it down to a specific combo of settings......looking at my asus results.....I duplicated similar cpu/nb ratios and voila......not on air atm but.....this might be doable.....the math is done.

What cpu you use is not important...only the combo....of cpu/nb speeds.
HT is best under 2200......ram does not matter as long as its fast and tight.....
5-5-5 1400+
6-6-6 1600+
7-7-7 1800+
or in my case a mix of 6-6-6 / 7-7-7
Phase results

Nice work chew*.
Very nice ram clocks and timings there, i doubt 2x2GB can come anywhere close to that.
If i can maintain the efficiency of my last run i think i can break into the 15sec zone at ~4250MHz.
Now if only temps here in the Netherlands go down i can do some serious clocking.
Running 1M at 4212MHz (1.49V) was possible with 25ºC ambient so 4250 should be doable with more favourable conditions i guess.
My colleague bought an airconditioner a while back... it didn't cost him an arm and a leg lol... maybe you should buy that too Zeus... nothing like 15c air hitting your case eh?
You seem to spend some cash now and then anyway so I figure this could be a worthwhile... upgrade? ;)
Well, i could get actually sell my "old" AM2+ stuff for a good price so that's why i upgraded.
I got sick and tired of the Vdroop of the M4A79 deluxe, this one has LLC to keep me happy. ;)
I think i'll wait for the temps to come down which will happen anytime soon now, it's Netherlands after all. :D
4250 is gonna be 16 flat. Need 4280.
