    Corsair 6400C3 (2X1GB)

    When I set 4-4-4 timings in BIOS, CPU-Z will read them as 4-7-7.

    I've also been able to run the Corsairs at DR2-1200 and 4-4-4 with this board.

    good..........It's better than gigabyte because DS3 DS4 DQ6 are hard to run 1GX2 FSB 500.

    andre or others

    any chance for new insights ....

    timestamp

    C2 965 rev. @ asus ??

    suppose we will see better memory performance and latencies on 965 boards with the revised chipset

    How did you solve that? I got the same problem with G.Skill PC6400

    I haven't solved it. CPU-Z reads the information wrong when the memory speed is above 500MHz. Need a new version of CPU-Z.

    The CPU may do 4.7GHz with LN2 cooling. It feels really strong.

    I may have killed my P5W DH the other day when I was using dry ice. Real shame because it was a nice board.

    965 boards are no good for benching Pi. I'm going back to 975X. But I'm not sure if I will get another P5W DH.

    noo your'e kidding me.......you killed the p5w??

    just be sure about that, i had several times that i thought he was dead, but after a wile it was running again.
    let it dry, clear cmos for half a day and run it again.

    I haven't thrown the board in the garbage. Yes, I will let it dry out for the rest of the week. A few years ago, I had a board that appeared dead after a sub-zero session. But it came back to life.

    There's nothing wrong with asking questions about Prime stability. But the xtreme overclocking section is not the place to do it. This forum is what it is today because of benchmarking. All the world's top overclockers post here. If you want to see the latest records, you come to this forum and this section. Some people don't care about benchmarking, which is fine. But they shouldn't post in this section.

    There's a chance the board is still alive. I discovered my PSU was dying. I've had it for two and a half years. I've ordered a Zippy, but won't get it for a few days. I'll check the board then.

    P5B + E6600 = I saw you got 4.500 but so far can you tell me what can you get stable with SP32 or Orthos?

    Thanks.

    I have not tested with dual-Prime in quite some time. I seem to recall the CPU passed dual-Prime at 3.8GHz with air-cooling. I'm not using the 6600 for 24/7 stability. I want to see how high it will clock. It is strictly for benching. I do a lot of Prime testing with Kentsfield because that will likely go into my daily system.

    That is more likely

    What is more likely? 3.8GHz? This is the xtreme overclocking section. If you're not into benching, stick to the Intel section. If you look around, not many people in this section run Prime. People are testing the absolute limits of their CPU's. And who are you to lecture me about stability? Your signature has a link to a CPU-Z Validation screen. To me, that says nothing about stability. That's simply a suicide screenshot.

    Prime is not fool-proof, you know. Numerous cases of people passing Prime and still having problems with games. When you test and overclock a lot like I do, you can generally tell what's going to be stable for daily use.
