The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[chew*]

Okay I will try but this is in non-techie laymans terms so please don't flame me ..........

DDR2 JEDEC spec only goes up to DD2-800 PC2-6400. So when set to Auto memory settings all MB's will set RAM to 800Mhz. If you look at the SPD tab in CPUz you will see that the profile for 533 is called EPP as it is not JEDEC approved. By setting your BIOS to Manual you can up the RAM to 533 to get DDR2-1066 / PC2-8500 (but also noted that you may need more vDimm too).

Wrong, jedec spec goes up to 1066 for ddr II, Tony from OCZ helped get this passed...

Maybe I don't. Care to enlighten me? Here's what I bought.. So maybe it can run at the higher speeds, but it still bugs me that every mb (all three of which are rated at DDR2 1066) report it as DDR2 800.

Aquineas, Tony from OCZ is a very very helpfull person on these forums, I'm sure if you contacted him or post in the OCZ forum here he would be more than happy to "help" flash your ram so it's detected @ 1066 by SPD.


Ben awsome job man, I know you must have froze your butt off, I know i did last night, beat my int el chip by 80mhz to with the same cooling ( frigid air ) and did a 32m, all i could do was 1m Thats what I like to see.
