Corsair 6400C3 at 1116MHz on AM2

[Gautam]

I thought the I975X always used 2T?

[OPPAINTER]

I haven't run Sandra, but I'm sure I won't get anywhere near the bandwidth that you're getting with AM2. The C3's do seem to clock well on Intel.

One thing I forgot to do when I had my setup running on watercooling was test the memory for highest 1T clocks.

Now that I see your results it looks like I need to set it up again
I was running at 816 3-3-3-5 1T but it may do better.

It does, Intel runs 2T

[OPPAINTER]

It does, Intel runs 2T

Well that would explain alot

Oops, sorry about that.

Still, I don't think you're going to find many 2X1GB DDR2 kits that will 440 @ 3-3-3, regardless of command rate. 2X512MB, yes. But not 2GB.

So what are favorite memory sticks now?

Oh I still like the 6400C3's. But as I said earlier, the Super Talents are pretty good too. They run best at 4-4-3. With a better board, they should do 525+ with those timings.

People still bench with 2X512, but 2X1024 is where almost everyone is heading. A lot of the Japanese are now using 2GB kits. That should tell you something.

558 with the same timings using the Corsair 6400C3.

Hmmm, gonna have to try that when I get a new board. The problem with the AOpen board I'm using is that there are only two ratios to work with - 3:4 & 3:5. If I had 1:2, I could do more speed testing.

Have you tried Cas5? Maybe you get your C3's above 600.

[sierra_bound]

Actually that's not entirely accurate. The NF4 SLI Intel chipset allows you to run 1T.

This motherboard here will be the time for me to try out Conroe on I think.

NVIDIA chipset, 1T action and SLI

OPP

[sierra_bound]

Yeah, I'd like to see you run Conroe.

[sierra_bound]

A little higher at 3-3-3

[Dumo]

Is this 6400 C3 better than 8500 C5?

I will try it with conroe's set up.

[Gautam]

A little higher at 3-3-3

Now that's what I wanna see, nice tight timings.

[sierra_bound]

Thanks. Not sure how this memory will do with Conroe. I'll find out soon.

@Dumo - I haven't tried the 8500C5's, so I don't know if they're better.

[vanovich]

is it these ram u guys are talking about ? http://edbpriser.dk/Listprices.asp?ID=206421

[sierra_bound]

Yup, that's the RAM.

[OPPAINTER]

Is this 6400 C3 better than 8500 C5?

I like the 6400C3 better. The 8500C5 can't go high with tight timings compared to the 6400C3. The 8500C5 is meant more for highest possable frequency but with loose timings.

[Charles Wirth]

I also like the C3 better than the 8500 part. Ive hit 460 1:1 3-3-3-9

Booting at 433FSB 1:1, best for sandra scores with the exception the Conroe scores no where near what AM2 or Presler does.

[boostedevo]

Yep, the C3s are pretty nice

[Vassili]

Is this 6400c3 capable of 4-3-2-* 3-3-2-*? (Or something with a 2 )

[PowerToTheUsers]

sierra_bound and Oppainter, which revision are these sticks? Both Rev1.1?

Do you have any idea on the used chips? I guess D9GKX, could that be right?

[sierra_bound]

My modules are v1.1. I think most out there are the same since the RAM is fairly new. I believe the modules use highly-binned Micron Rev. D chips. This explains in part why the RAM is so expensive.

I'm wondering about a "2" also.
I have only ran my sticks on AM2 and the Foxconn mobo I have doesn't even have any 2s in it. 3 is the lowest the mobo offers.
