wtf is that last XMP profile ?

BTW, nice review:p: :up:

thanks :)

Yeah weird XMP profile there.. I know i won't be enabling XMP with X38 boards with such memory - 4.55v vdimm :eek:

saaya, haven't got that in depth so far as Blitz Extreme low FSB did limit me to <485FSB... so just starting out with P5K3 Deluxe and 530FSB headroom.

So many ways to tweak on Asus P35 DDR3 you have static read and write delay, transaction booster levels, 1T/2T and 266FSB/333FSB strap so there's so many ways to reach your desired speeds :)

transaction booster is the same as perf level i think.
static read and write delay? does it have such a big impact on performance? :confused:

static read/write helps tad more bandwidth and lower memory latencies but can quickly add to memory/system instability as well :)

TB is performance level or tRD AFAIK hehe

hmmm gotta try that out, thanks :toast:
ill check again but im pretty sure that when i played with transaction booster it only changed perf level. i prefer to change it in windows tho, so i left it untouched :D

Latency result bug in Everest ? When you run it individually it's lower latency then via the tool ?

4104Mhz - 8x513FSB 3:5 855Mhz 7-6-5-15 1T at 2.0v vdimm
Now to max out my E6850 on Corsair Nautilus 500 water cooling, seems it hit same max for 32M as when on Blitz Formula with same cpu cooling - 4104Mhz at 1.632v on Blitz Formula in 22-24C ambients while 4104Mhz at 1.672v on P5K3 Deluxe in 28-32C ambients (no more winter cool nights in OZ :( )

Didn't try lower than 2.0v vdimm for this session as I wanted to make sure memory wasn't the weak point for now.

Nice work and nice benches, nice RAM as well!

We appreciate the SS :D

hmmm what tool do you mean?
the window that shows all memory bench results at once?

yup tool as in read/write/copy/latency report differs from individual latency reported result

Yip as usual Goerge excellent testing and review always enjoy your posts nice one.

Sigh, my TeamGroup 1600's clocks to 870MHz with the exact same timings as your sticks (7-6-5-15) but I can only get 8K on Sandra buffered. Board is a Gigabyte P35C-DS3R. The board doesn't offer 1T command rate though, but surely that can't make a 2K difference?

just talked to tamas, he said its already fixed in the next release, just a minor bug about displaying the result not actually a bug of the bench it seems :)

also slightly depends on cpu clock frequeny so you would get higher sandra buff at 9x400FSB 1:2 than you would at 7x400FSB 1:2

Awesome, would save me having to run both methods and screenshot them side by side hehe

Sorry for the massive pic!

Just thought I'd show you what I'm facing here :( Will pop my E6850 that does 550MHz in tonight and see if I can get a better score.

Thanks Eva.

andyddr, what chipset voltage are you using?
try more and see if that helps

Not sure what's going on with your board as i never used that board. 1T gives me an extra ~200MB/s memtest86+ v1.70 bandwidth over 2T so no it won't be reason for 2000+ MB/s difference in sandra bandwidth I don't think. What cpu speed was that 8k buffered run at ? 3050Mhz ? try at 9x 440FSB or higher

Thanks for the input guys. Seems like the problem here is infact the motherboard's poor optimization for DDR3. I've tried the E6850 @ a higer FSB and only scored 300MB/S more. Add to that I cannot set to 1T in the bios. Should have done a bit more homework on this board (X-bit has an article up on the poor performance I just mentioned) before I bought it. See Newegg has just added X38's to their pricelist though. Great timing!

ohhh your on a hybrid ddr2 ddr3 board right?
Yeah, those all suck afaik... but i didnt know they perfom that much worse at the same clocks 0_o weird
