Methinks this only applies to OC reports, where people try to prove that memory XXX is very good for 24/7 or for heavy duty benching. I can't imagine this would apply to suicide runs...
Not to shabby for 24/7
Marc, it is sad to see people exploiting/clueless to B2B to fudge results.
Look at Mat's results of 3Ghz yet he stats bandwidth was bad...
Look at your results, you exploited B2B to the fullest without a single bandwidth test.
Lastly, this is the "Xtreme Bandwidth" section, not the "Xtreme B2B exploit" section.
So, this better only apply to i7, correct? ...and only for results like that where its possible there were exploits? I'm not running Everest Memory Bandwidth for my 32M runs. Sorry.
I'm not buying the latest version of Everest again.
You oughta open up the "Xtreme Memory Overclocking Section" because this just opened up a huge can of worms all over some of us.
There are ways to extract more frequency at the cost of performance on AMD as well..........
No one said you need use latest verion of everest.
I think the point is not to mislead users into purchasing a set of ram based on shady tactics used to extract the most speed.
As I said in my thread, I am aware of B2B CAS Delay and tried it, but it didn't do much good, because the memory (as M.Beier said) is not the problem. Even less under ln2 ... I tried to show that, nothing else. Have you even read my whole post? I am experimenting with things like that and just wanted to show my results.
Where again did I say that bandwidth was bad? Didn't test that yet, as I remember.
HUH?
90% of the posts in this section are valid, to be honest i think maximum mhz is a valid section also...
for a cpuz validation you don't need to show a superpi 32m result next to it to show how fast it is, how is this any different?
i really enjoy doing ram testing and posting up results here but i am not going to have a everest bandwidth result n every picture..
is this a requirement now for every post in this section?
I think thatīs ok- as I usually do DDR2 tests at the moment this doesnīt bother me, but I also have no problem in showing CPUTweaker or MaxMem whwn I test DDR3- buying my memory myself, testing on air and having no sponsor I think this new rule helps to see if a kit is worth buying it or not. High frequency isnīt evrything if it comes to performance
strange decision this one
Does anyone base their RAM purchase decisions based on max MHz validation? Cooled with LN2?
People chasing MHz seriously will know or at least have a pretty idea whats going on with B2B.
Its just part of a bigger picture and meeting of the right parts.... CPU with strong IMC, right board + BIOS, right RAM ICs + batch- regardless of the seller etc etc etc.
Its not strange, this is xtreme bandwidth and lack of a bandwidth shot kinda defeats the purpose.
Its like me showing my RPM and posting in a horsepower section and that is absolutely useless, deliver numbers proving the overclock is what I am asking.
If that 3Ghz cas 7 delivers a 13k read and 12k write it is a bogus overclock of the ram, now if it delivers 27k read then bravo, hats off to you.
After talking with reason (Gautam) I see my error in not stating this section is for bandwidth and performance shots only. Everything else belongs in XOC or AMD/Intel.
so if i am not wrong :
Higher memory MHZ with any kind of performance must be post in XOC (if xtremecooling), intel/amd if previews or testing room (bought/got a kit want to show the tests etc)
High PERFORMANCE showing bandwidth with open cpu tweaker and other tools if needed in this section
right?
XOC = xtreme overclocking hiwa
i foresee the death of a section.
You probablky want to change the description of this forum too, it still says "Memory overclocking and bandwidth results"
death of a section >> yeah hence the reason i thought it was strange :shrug:
