OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

Is the PL the same at each speed?

680i does not have tRD/PLs, or to be more exact, you can't influence it manually, that's why I said it does have some mean strap changes.

I don't know man... I get the same bandwidth with the RAM synced to the 450MHz as I get when unhooking it and letting it run at 600MHz... It seems the speed only changes with the FSB, not the RAM speed.

I have no idea how that is even possible, to be honest.

On 680i memory bandwidth is very dependend on CPU clock, not really much on FSB once you passed a certain speed because of the aforementioned strap changes. It shines on read and latency, but write and copy scores will always be lower than on Intel chipsets.

Hi 18, nice to see you here

I have NO idea. I downloaded MemSet from three different sources, and this is still all I get:

Where are all the other settings?!

Which other settings?
That's all you will get from it, be happy that you have tRC, that's a timing I miss on my Intel chipset, because it will help you generate more bandwidth. The problem is that you can't force a certain strap.

I will PM you some important threads and more info tomorrow, I'm too tired now and it doesn't belong here anyway... Okay?

Weird. I guess it's a mobo thing.
With my Abit Pro, I couldn't change anything with Memset.

It's not a Motherboard problem, you are all not familiar with nVidia chipsets, they are totally different from what we are used to on Intel chipsets.

[18 is # 1]

Thank you. You are correct, I'm only familiar with Intel.
Is the 750i the same way?

Yeah, no offense meant, I'm tired so I might sound a bit harsh. Sorry.

I'm afraid it is, as 680i was the last new nVidia chipset, so 750i should be a shrinked version of 650i, but I'm not 100% certain.
