    Talking GSKILL 512LA @326 1T, any room for improvement??

    Cooked my last pair of GSKILL 512LA when I tried to run Trtw and Twtr at 1, just received my replacement today and they'd fired right up at 326 x8, passed Memtest #5 for couple hours then went straight to SuperPI 32M and passed it too!! Now, before I attempt to fine tune anything can someone please be so kind to give me some advice as to where else can I tweak to break the 326 barrier safely without frying another pair of 512LA? my 3000 winnie is Prime95 and SuperPI 32M stable at 2686mhz if I run 316 x8.5 so I know this cpu still has room for improvement....for now I'm stuck at 326 x8, please help..

    thanks I'd dropped the Trfc down from 24 to 14, and Max Async Latency from 9ns to 8ns, Memtest #5 at the moment at 64 passes, going to let it run for a shortwhile and if it didn't error out then I'll crunch the SuperPI 32M again, these two tweaks alone gave me just a little more bandwidth....better than nothing I guess, I think my 512LA hit the wall at 326, pumping up the vmem from 3.1v to 3.2v did not allow me to clock any higher, memtest #5 error out even at 327, if I can't figure out how to break the wall then I'll try to tighten up the rest of the timing and see how it goes, I'm using 331-3 BIOS.....this is the one and only BIOS allow me to run these GSKILL TCCD at 326, no go with any other BIOS.



    Edit: So far so good, was able to dropped the vcore and tighten the timing a bit
