By SPD, does it actually scan the memory or something? How does that work?

 

[Pabster]

Yes. Good RAM chips have properly programmed SPDs which allow the board to read the RAM's timings. Cheaper chips often have nothing or incorrect figures in the SPD.

 

[THUGSROOK]

actually that's not quite true...
todays motherboards tend to slow memory SPD specs.
dont expect SPD to be SPD 😉

My gigabyte sets agressive timings 2225 when set by SPD , I manually set them at 2226.

so thugsrook...how about those xms3000cas2??? no info on performance? overclock ability?

 

[THUGSROOK]

SupermanCK ~ has a keen eye 😉

he's the only person that noticed i bought something new and didnt write a 5 page review on it with 4 pages full of benchmarks and comparisons 😉

<yAWn> XMS3000 = max speed is 169fsb cas2226 2.6v </end yAWn>

(XMS2700 = max speed is 167fsb cas2226 2.6v)

the stick may be better then my XMS2700 in the 400DDR range, but i have no way to test it there.

ic y now...
so i guess you sold all your old parts...

 

[THUGSROOK]

yea, i sell it off pretty quickly before the wife finds out 😉

 

[SupermanCK]

i hear ya
how you managed to keep the wife from complaining about u spending way too much time on the computer and always messing around with it???

 

[THUGSROOK]

its easy to spend time with the wife and still run benchmarks 😉

im not always sittin here - it just seems like it 😀

 

[SupermanCK]

yeah...i guess so...

I tell everyone you can learn a whole lot more, than overclocking, on this board!

 

[SupermanCK]

LMAO
