Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

@QuiteIce,

How high have you manage to push your 3500LL Pro and at what timings and voltage?

I have mine at 285Mhz 3-3-3-6,1/1,2.8v in Bios.

If i loose the timings to 3-4-4-8 push the voltage at 2.9,is worth it or i am going to have less performance because of the loosen timmings?

I've never gotten mine that high, it dropped out just over 270 MHz and I didn't need the extra speed running a 180 Opty so I didn't experiment. You might have better RAM than me - I know they changed chips somewhere in the middle of production without changing the product coding. Might not be a bad idea to push the 2x512 a little farther, though. I've got a 165 running with 2x512 that could benefit from better RAM speed. When my SETI race is over (1900 GMT today) I'll give it a go and get back to you.


BTW - I recently purchased some of this nice RAM for $70!! Great stuff but I haven't figured out the timings to OC it yet. It went to 285 on stock timings (2.5-4-4-8/1T) then BSOD. 3-4-4-8 didn't help it's very strange RAM - maybe 3-5-5-10 or something is needed. I put it together during the race and wasn't willing to experiment with it until after the race ...
