Nice run there dude ! Do you use Dominator GT CL8 ? I'm surprised they can't do CL7 @ this frequency, or you just didn't have enough time to test it ?

thanks. actually, am using 2 sticks 2000cl7 and 1 stick 1866cl7 (which is harder to keep up with the rest). reason being, there's weird stuff happening with this R2E and D0 + 2000 cl7 combo . bios and windows won't see the third stick even if cpu-z does. if i run with the 3rd 2000 stick, results are lower.

full set of 1866 work just fine with the D0. full set of 2000 work just fine on my old 965 (though the 3rd stick "disappears" sometimes with certain settings). read somewhere that this could be due to vqpi and vcore interaction but haven't pinned it down.

am also "babying" the mem oc as this r2e kills mems instantly with certain combinations of vqpi and vcore even within intel spec. when i get a new board (classified w/o nf200 I think; haven't decided), might try for more (and see if the problems with the 2000cl7 + D0 combo disappears).

Hmmm 1896MB CDT-IV + 589MB Maxmem should work better for you - I mean in comparison with normal 1896MB CW and that weird Maxmem you're currently using, but generally you should search for a CW file size that's lower than that one

thanks for the tip. I tried lower maxmem before on core 2's and they gave me lower scores. haven't tried with i7 so maybe i'll try again.

btw, i think i gained (lost?) 5 seconds on this waza. how much more is possible?
