Elpida Hyper Graveyard

[chew*]

I was actually going to suggest that: drop the NB frequency .

The big problem with AM3 memory overclocking really is the quality of the northbridge. First of all, it's not necessary to have high speed memory if you're not using a high-speed northbridge and, secondly, the stress put on the northbridge by running high clocked memories is enormeous. Have you seen Titon's 940MHz+ memory speeds? That's only possible because he was running a 955 (better silicon quality) ánd, very important, had his cpu run under phase.

You'll notice, by the way, that there's not a lot of scaling in performance going up even higher in the memory frequency. You might want to try CL5.

Not sure what this has to do with the Elpida's dieing on everyone.

Well nah it is off topic, but I'm hammering them with 32m to A: make sure they are going to hold up, and B: break the myth that they will die if you run 32m...I'm sure they have issues, but I don't see any AMD guys with said issues.......

I tried 1500 5-5-5 in pi and a few other benches when doing the review for the 955, utterly useless at 6 gig +........my gskills smoked them 9-9-9 1700+

These are going to be for 3d only.

The NB can handle that speed, Just dropped for now to eliminate it from equasion, ram is ramping up now due to some adjustments was still failing with lowered NB prior to adjustments.
