I haven't had time to do any further OC'ing research, but I thought I'd share the results of my migration to RAID 0+1 with ya'll. Using Sandra05 Filesystem benchmark, here's what I was seeing with my twin raptors in RAID0: Drive Index : 107 MB/s Buffered Read : 231 MB/s Sequential Read ...

One more for ya...I did a little reading about RAM timings and saw that, per Mushkin's Tras formula, I should really be at 8.5 rather than 8. I raised Tras to 9 and, low and behold, gained a second on Super PI and another ~20MB/s in memory bandwidth. Neato! 290x10 (no divider), Tras=9

OK, here's the first couple. 1) This one is a stock shot of the machine using the OCZ Gold VX RAM. I forgot to take a stock shot of the G.Skills, but they were a little slower...around 5800mb/s. Stock run 2) This one is about the best I could do on the OCZ RAM at max vdimm. It was on OK...

Before I get to the benchmarks, a couple things of interest: 1) RAM I originally had the OCZ Gold VX dimms in this board but couldn't get it stable at much past 210fsb regardless of multiplier. I realize now that I was too quick on the trigger finger when I bought that RAM; I didn't realize...

Hi folks, I started this thread to have a place to post all my results, insights (such as they are), and screenshots I've gathered while experimenting with OC'ing my FX-55 (on air). This machine is my primary work machine, so stability -- rather than eeking out the last mhz -- is crucial for...
