Latest BIOS F12 helped, but not much (except for the Vista index, which jumped to 5.5 for CPU and 5.9 for Mem), especially the latency remains much too high.
New Sandra XI SP3 scores (with CPU 9x300=2700MHz and RAM 1:1 300MHz 4-5-5-13):
- 5200 MB/s
- 112 ns
I wish more people would...
I've now set my memory speed to 400MHz 5-5-5-15 and rised the voltage to 2.1V (the actual rated voltage for my memory, even though 1.8V never gave me any problems) and instead of going up the Sandra scores went down a little bit (4700/120). WTF?!
What is wrong with my stupid rig?
I noticed that my memory scores are too low for my setup (CPU: 9x266MHz=2400MHz - effectively a E6600, Mem: 333MHz 4-5-5-13 - SPD timings). SiSoft Sandra XI SP3 (Win64 x64, 2007.6.11.40) shows a mem bandwidth score of around 4800 MB/s and a latency of about 115 ns. Shouldn't it be around 5400...
Okay, flashed with the newest BIOS from 04/04/2007 and now it seems i can overclock. FSB 266 is running fine, dunno if i should go higher, 2.4GHz is quite sufficient for the time being, almost like having a E6600. Seems like the old bios didn't yet fully support the E4300.
266MHz is the standard FSB for the Core 2 Duos E6300 and upwards. Also, the board is known to be a good overclocker, in the review at this very site they reached 500MHz for instance.
No, i haven't tried with just 1 or 2 sticks as it runs fine at its declared speed of DDR800 with everything on...
First of all, hi to the anandtech community! :)
My system:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Biostar tForce 965PT
4x1GB OCZ PC6400 Gold Edition XTC
Now, i've got a weird problem, my setup just won't overclock, and it's only mild overclocking i'm attempting. I'm trying to rise the FSB from the...
