I'm running a lot lower frequencies though, but the general trend seems to be upwards to me rather than no increase at all let alone decrease. Could you do a run matching the settings I've used and HT Link at 1G and 1.8G?
I have no solid data of the HD 3300 IGP findings, but it seemed that increase the HT Link frequency to 2.4G+ helped me gain quite a bit. Even in the 3DM-V benchmark, I went from 674 to 716.

No benefit at low clocks, at 3.7 GHz noticeable difference with DDR3 1600
so your not OCing HT you are starting from an under clock and pushing to stock speed....i was overclocking HT to see if it gained the same way NB does.Quote:

1333 cas 5-5-5-24 1t is the winner IMO...faster for PI and right with 1600 6-6-6-24 1t for encoding.
Who needs 1800+ ram 8-8-8- on AM3....? No me ;)
Tony, you think I could run this
at ddr1333 cas 5 with some voltage without killing them?
Tony this is absolutely amazing work!!
I have two requests if possible?!
Could you add voltages for achieved frequencies and latencies in the graphs legend?
Could you add DDR2 1066 CL5 (or CL4 if it's squeezable), and DDR2-800 CL4?
Tony, can you strap your OCZ Cryo-Z on your Phenom, clock it to around 4.3GHz and re-compare? :yepp:
anyone have any idea what the performance of 1333 c5 or c6 would compare to ddr2 1066 c5?
hopefully Tony will give us the answer ;)Quote:

My local supplier have LVs (DDR3-1600; 2x2) on stock but how can I know will they run DDR3-1333 CL5? :shrug:Quote:

I'm really struggling to get my NB past 2.6 and even at 2.6 is seems to need over 1.3V at the NB :eek: I noticed my 3dmark 06 score @ 3.9GHz Core, 2.6 @ NB and HTT @ stock scores had gone down in comparison to 3.9Ghz Core with HTT @ 2.4 :confused:
NB clocks:
2000 0.95V
2200 1.125V
2400 1.2V
2600 1.25V
2800 1.3 to 1.35 depending on memory IC
3000 1.4125V
watercooled
CPU clock on MSI GD70 and Asus M4A79-T
4000 1.4 to 1.425V
3800 1.3 to 1.35V
3600 1.25V
3400 1.2v
3200 1.1v
4000 and 3800 depend on NB clock also and memory used.
Clocking on the DFI 790FX M2R:
CPU clock
3200 1.05V
3400 1.125V
3600 1.2V
3800 1.25V
4000 1.35V
this with the new LV Blades...
The DFI rocks for 955 clocking using multies and HTT to around 250.
The GD70 and Asus will do HTT over 300.
how did u get 4ghz on stock volts?
On the DFI...tweaking I suppose or just an awesome CPU with 10C water cooling it.
I will say this...you guys need to set the CPU's to stock speed and find the lowest voltages needed for stable operation. This took me 2 hrs.
Then leaving CPU speed stock with the lower vcore you found (Important) increase NB clock 1 multi and test again noting the voltage needed. 1 hr more testing.
Then NB up another ...then another....then another...you get where i am going here ;)
I did this all the way to 3GHZ NB.
Now set the ram at say 1333 6-6-6-24 1T, set the Nb at 2000 with the voltage you found stable and find the lowest voltage for the ram thats stable....i bet now if you wanted you could lower the NB voltage 1 notch and still be stable ;) I was able to get 1333 stable with 1.5v on the MSI and then lower the NB voltage a little.
Do this all the way up the NB clock range...Vdimm will change as you clock up. Make notes as this took me 1 day.
So now you have 1333 voltages for the memory at each different Nb clock speed...do the same for 1600 7-7-7-24 1T.
Once you have all that data down, you now need to find what voltage is needed at each CPU half multiplier up you set, keeping in mind you may need to adjust Nb voltage and vdimm again...but if anything its only tiny changes...remember make notes.
Also consider an increase in 790Chipset voltage to around 1.25>1.3V...it helps.
I also found SB voltage can add stability going up 1 notch.
So now you map out Nb clock with the CPu at stock and now CPU clock with the NB at stock...lots of work.
Next map out CPU and NB clocking with ram at 1333...then at 1600 and make notes of all settings.
I did all of this and found the DFI clocked the 955 like a demon, i actually managed 1200 with 4GB ram 1.8V or so with the CPU at 1.25v 3.8GHZ in Vista 32 bit.
Here is the killer punch to all this though, what you need in 32bit OS is totally different to what you need in 64bit OS...64bit needs more juice.
I am testing W7 64 now and 4GHZ is not coming any where near as easy on the DFI as it did with V32...keep this in mind.
so now you know how Tony does his testing ;)
Have you tried with HT @ same as NB?Quote:

Tony has displayed the Volt ranges for NB/freqency. If your using More than 1.3v on the CPUnbvolts,, it could be the MOBO just needs more for it to work. Some will use less and others More. In genaral you should be able to come close to same volt range if your temps are not too shabby.
Now while your playing around with volts you can try some more CPUx Multi's . See which one lets the system run faster while using 2600NB with closer to same ram timing. Once you find it Then try raising the HTT 1mhz at a time. Soon youll be going to 2700/2800mhz on the NB. small steps not leaps;)
If your clocking HT @ 2600 with NB @ 2600 using NBmulti . try to go one step lower on HT . Remeber to Give the CHIPSET a hair volts over the base volts when pushing High Clocks and High HTT . This just may get you 2700/2800 when you add HTT to clocking the NB higher..
leave HT at 2000, no need to adjust it.
Gotta try 800 CL5-6-5-18 on my memories when i get home! :up:
