Hey XS. Long time no post. I've been watching forums for quite some time, but last five years were my vacation from overclocking, I took it after I got tired after three years of running everything stock cooled :P Anyway, a couple of months ago I started gathering some retro stuff from Socket A/939 era and it's time to bench it.
I have 9 sticks of TCCD RAM and I wanted to see what they're made of in terms of suicide clock. I used an average 3000+ and DFI NF4 SLI-D - CPU set on 300x6, mem divider 250 (mem running @360), RAM voltage 2.9, timings 15-6-6-3-2T with loose alphas. Boot to Windows, then work your way up with Clockgen. Results - 1x400, 1x390, 2x385, 1x375, 1x360, rest no post/no boot.
I took the best stick (512MB G.Skill GBLE with TCCD 440) and pump it with 3.3V. Result:
The stick is cooled with 2x120mm fans and I did not take advantage of winter (yet!). Definitely might be improved and I'll do my best - it's currently 7th DDR clock result on Hwbot.
