    Quad-core or Dual-core ? Which one do I pick ?

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

    It was a oversight upgrading to Nehalem as many a better DDR3 worked in i7. It sounded like deja-vu as it worked. I remember a similar thing from past, customers unsure whether a certain Corsair DDR2 was really 1.6 or 1.8. I took a total break from overclocking. What i do/did is buy Intel tock...

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

    I have now added Corsair Dominator DDR3 2x4GB 1.65v (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) to the original 4GB. They have the same speed, timings and heatsinking. No apparent issues. I run the lot at 1.65v. I put the new bigger memory into the first dual channel bank hoping it make a better difference. This was...

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

    The potential idea was to run it more stable with tighter timings at it's branded volts. Store recommended the memory bought with there Nehalem nearly a year ago, even though memory is good spec with good heatsinking, the voltage is reported dangerously over spec for Nehalem. I was suggesting...

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

Deep Rybka SSE42 engine which is normally 570k/s was 869k/s. I was quite amazed. I had the multiplier recently...

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

    In beginning i had stable 4.6mhz overclock which is nigh on 90% :). I now running the memory at 1.8v and fine. The maximum 1.65v is more to do with not having more than 0.5v difference between the vdimm and vtt voltages. I have the vtt at 1.38.

    long time running 1.8v memory in my overclocked i7

    I built nehalem last Febuary and overclocked it 90%. It been running nearly every day long time. It's a watercooling setup and has Gigabyte X58-UD5 motherboard. Now I recently been looking to upgrade the memory. I went to look up the existing 2x4GB of Corsair TW3X4G1600C9D 1.8v Dominator...
