I FINALLY broke 3ghz!! Now I want to sync the ram, suggestions?

[DerwenArtos12]

It's taken me four months with my 3700+ San Diego but I finaly got it prime stable at 3ghz with load temps under 55C, booya gramma!! Screen Caps to come.

screencap w/ ntune cpu-z and system properties tab.

Ok, ok, ok, OK, My settings:
273FSB x 11 = 3GHZ
166 ram divider = 215mhz
CPU 1.55v
Ram 2.8v
4x HTT
PCI-E running at 2.7ghz
ram timings of 2-2-2-7 2T(I'm not writing out all the timings!)

Ok, I'm sick of using a ram divider and I want 2GB of ram so I'm planning to get my cake and eat it too. I've been doing a ton of research all over, including over at DFI-Street and I've narrowed it down to OCZ ddr500 but, I can't figure out wich set to get, EL or EB, gold or platinum or XTZ?

Thanks Avalon, now I just have to try and remember my pics.bbzzdd password and I'll have a screencap up.

why do people always have to give me ****** for green on black, it's really easy on the eyes. and looks spiffy.

Wow, someone who uses almost exactly the same Windows color scheme as I do. That image could have come right off my desktop.

Nice job hitting the 3ghz mark. :thumbsup:

Let me jump to a conclusion: The OP is a HUGE fan of The Matrix!
Seriously, if it works for you, no problem at all. But isn't black text on dark-gray backfround kinda hard to read?

I agree, the green-on-black does look ultra-cool.

Eh, the movies are good but, I've had this color scheme for about a decade. Sometimes, when a program or website don't co-operate black on dark grey is extremely hard to read but, most of the time text comes up in lime green.

Indeed, 91.28 betas. Not entirely worth it as not even half of the options are functional for my DFI NF4 Ultra-D.

Push for more!
You are only at 1.5V! Shoot for 1.55 and see if 3.2 is a possible!

 

[n7]

Ahhh my eyes :Q

Theme aside, very nice

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Congrats OP! But I'm happier with the 3.42GHz I pulled out of a C1 P4 1.8A (1.625 Vcore) that I got from a junk pile

Bios setting is 1.55 but my powersupply is either defective or can't handle my system cause all of my voltages are sagging noticably, I'm looking into a new one with the next paycheck. I haven't run the percentages yet to see what each of the available is but, I will be, trust me.

Never, my xp-120 is not going anywhere, unless it gets replaed by the likes of a tuniq tower or Noctua.

[DerwenArtos12]

ocz pc4000eb
mushkin redline xp pc4000
g.skill has a line as well but i can't remember

guaranteed 273 should be the crucial ballistix but these sticks are really flakey. i had mine running at 290 HTT 1:1 but they crapped out on me twice within a 1 month period

how are your gskill working out and at what settings? The guys over at DFIstreet, including Travis would swear by the OCZ EL series.

 

[Shimmishim]

my g.skill hz's aren't that great. they top out around 260 but i haven't messed with the settings enough (dang dfi board!!!)

but people have had hz's up to 270 but that was with A LOT of tweaking
