800 at 4-4-4 or 1066@5-5-5??

[boxtata]

just got a pair of ballistix to match my oc@3.2ghz Q6600 (356*9) 356*4

the ballistix is currently oc to 1066, but running at 5-5-5

I am just curious if people usually oc to faster clock? or just do the faster clock with tightest timing (even if it means slower than the fastest clock)

I think i may be able to do 850-900 ish with cas 4 timing.

What's the suggestion?

Thanks

ummm you would be best off dropping your memory to like DDR2-800 with 3-3-3 or something like that for the timings.

That or try and get the fastest speed possible on 5-5-5, right now your current clock and timings are not optimized.

You should be able to do about DDR2-1000 4-4-4-12 2.2V with that ram

it was ballistix 6400 (ddr800) though.. not 8500 like you have.

I tried around ddr1000 for cas 4 but not stable.

So I think it's either 850ish cas 4 (i haven't tried 800 cas 3) ..or at most 1100 ish cas 5

cas3 with that memory takes too much voltage. They aren't the higher binned D9s like the PC8500 has. Keep lower voltage and stick to around 800-900Mhz at 4-4-4-12

What voltage do you have your ram running at?
