Winnie 3500 / 4400 mem overclock A8N SLI

[Grapper]

Well, this is my first post here at the forum, and even though I am really new to "extreme" overclocking that you are talking about in here, I have read tons of overclocking -related material but am still at a loss when it comes to the results I have gotten with my modest overclocks.

First off, as some people know there is a problem with the A8N high FSB and running memory @1t.

This is the heart of my setup:
90nm Winchester 3500+ (primed stable at 2650 Mhz, havent dared to go higher than that)
A8N SLI Deluxe on 1003-006 Beta bios
Corsair TwinX 4400 XMS http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair...24-4400C25.pdf (not the platinum version, but the black one)
2*6800GT@365*1.07 (cant get them higher on stock cooling. Suspecting PSU too)

1. I have not fiddled around with my settings that much. Only thing I have set i CL @ 2.5 and Cmd rate @1T whenever possible.

2. These are the results I got with different settings

TEST 1:
235Mhz FSB
11* Multi
4xHT
2.5CL
1T
Mem locked@400Mhz
2585Mhz

These results dont really make sense to me since the memory tests are all over the place in between the different tests. I just dont know what part to look for more than other settings. I guess that test no. 2 is the least preferable one, but which setting looks better for me between Test 1 or 3? As I said, I havent fiddled around with timings that much because I really dont know what this mem can handle, especially on this board. When I was playing around at the start I managed to corrupt my win installation so it was just to start all over again. Really intelligent!

Are there any other settings an expereienced a8n SLI deluxe clocker can share with me that have somewhat similar memory? I guess I have TCCD on my chips as far as I understand it?


Anyhows, you gotta start somewhere, and I am such a novice compared to most people here, but I hope you arent too hard on me. I just want to squeeze as much out of my system as possible and getting advice from pros whenever possible.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
