no 1T command rate @285 HT ref. clock, but works @ 300
Hi!
I got a rather confusing problem, maybe someone can give me a hint or explain how the following is possible...
Got 2 sticks of gskill ripjaw ddr800-cl8 that flawlessly run timings of 8-8-8-24-1T @ 1666mhz (ref. clock 250, x6 1055 @ 3.5, turbo off).
ddr760@ ht ref. clock ~ 280-299 and Command rate 1T is causing errors in memtest86 within seconds - even with the slowest possible ram timings. only changing 1t to 2t results in no errors again.
(cpu @ default, ht link and nb around 2000mhz).
well, so far you might say that my memory and/or cpu/mobo aren't capable of running 1t @ that ref. clock but now imagine the following:
ht ref. clock @ 300 and higher ram, cpu and northbridge/ht link speeds and memtest can run with CR 1T for hours without errors.
anybody got any idea how that's possible?
In intel 965p times one might answer it's got to do with nb strap changing but that obviously shouldn't be the case here as the NB ratio can be controlled.
Thanx for reading the above story, I'm thankful for any answer or even question if further details maybe needed.
Best regards,
Albertini
