G.Skill HZ PC6400 rated at 400MHz 4-4-4-12 2.1-2.2v

2.2vdimm - 500MHz 32M SuperPI




2.2vdimm - 502.50MHz 32M SuperPI




max for 2.2vdimm so far - 506.20MHz 8M SuperPI



I did some testing with 2.3vdimm and 526MHz 4-4-4-12 8M SuperPI was the best result so far...no screenie....didn't take it heheheh

[dinos22]

might save this spot for some undervolting heh

[BottomsUp]

man wish i had a step 5. I have everythign exactly the same as you except i have retail step 6 and 430fsb is my limit.

[dinos22]

why do you wish you had step 5

do you think step5 will give you higher FSB.........i'd say you're mobo limited rather than CPU.............i mean they are great CPUs and all but your issue is mobo i reckon with limited FSB

[BottomsUp]

i've got the same DS3 as everyone else. Luck of the draw? I wonder if i should try a second board DS3.......

[dinos22]

i'm on my second one

[BottomsUp]

i'm on my second one

but i recall reading you had the same great results with both right?

[dinos22]

but i recall reading you had the same great results with both right?

460 bootable and stable with both

but first one could not do 495MHz stable.......nor could it do 520MHz 1M the previous owner did

[dinos22]

ok let's do some priming now ...........stopped at default vcore, 2.1vdimm and dead slow fan so i bumped fan to max, 2.2vdimm (~480 was 2.1vdimm limit so probably that was the cause but anyways) and bumped vcore to 1.35v in bios

1 Hour Prime Stable at 480MHz FSB 3360MHz

[shakenbake]

nice overclock dinos22.. does the retail e6300 perform like this?

[dissident]

no, the retails aren't as good as the stepping 5's. Most of them are crapping out around 3.4 ghz or thereabouts (requiring 1.5 volts plus)

[dinos22]

yeah seems retail need more volts but who cares as long as its stable

this is really the max prime for this motherboard 487MHz FSB!!!

E6300 >3.4GHz prime stable

kickin a$$ and taking names baby.
i'd love to see any other 965/975 board do that unmodded.
bad axe is the only one i can think of.. maybe..

man im getting some of this stuff. i can take it any longer.

sorry tank guys and team group. you snooz you looz and you definately looz out if you cant boot up with this board.
HZ's can you cant...

[bachus_anonym]

Rock On, dinos! Lots of screens and lots of 32M... Great results so far, including 2GBHZ @ DDR-1052 12-4-4-4.0, 2.3v

Can you do me a big a$$ favor... Once you're done finding max for your mems, would you compare for me 32M @ 400x7 1:1 (DDR-800 12-4-4-4.0) vs 400x7 4:5 (DDR-1066 12-4-4-4.0), plizzzz

thanks mate

this motherboard is a bit of a funny one when it comes to RAM.......i don't think i've maxed them out yet and last night i tried to replicate the 525MHz 2.3v but it didn't like it.........i'll do some testing for sure

you basically want to see how the RATIO 2.0 and 2.5 compare right? I'll drop it down to 380 or so until i figure out what i can't repeat results with 2.3v.........

HZ's can you cant...

the only one i've seen with goods so far and more is Biostar 965 board

Yes, Sir Thanks a lot for your time, man!

[pcdoc1]

Damn dinos, can I fly down there for training?

I can't get the damn board to post past 390... Once booted I can Setfsb to 'bout 460 but that the end of the party... Nice work!

[Blacklash]

Darn impressive.

[eklipze]

Damn . nice i need my overclocking LESSONS !! lol well i hope we all with conroe+DS3 can overclock to that setting =[ lol

[idiotec]

Man, those are just some fantastic results!

I like the HZ's at DDR2-1000 w/2.2v as well

BTW, did the HZ's boot on that board OK with 1.8v?

[Lestat]

the only one i've seen with goods so far and more is Biostar 965 board

$150 dollar board still remains the at the top!!
awesome!!
