Kingston Hyper X - Whats your MAX OC with it?

[batmang]

Just wondering if you Hyper X users could post some results please. I'm trying to see how far i can get with my 2.6c, currently its running at 3.2ghz 5:4 ratio. Please post some results or suggestions, my info is in my signature, thanks in advance.

PC 3200 goes up to 215-220 on 2-2-2-6, depending on the chip, voltage increased. Less in dual channel. And not much higher no matter what timings. Say 225-226 max. I have four different sticks, all about the same. Similar with Corsair XMS LL (the best Corsair). Mushkin suppose to go higher than these.
GEIL Ultra Platinum is better for higher clock as well if only you can increase voltage to 3.0V. It does not like 2-2-2-6 though.

Kingston Hyper X PC 3200(A)

does 220 FSB 2/3/3/7

Vdimm ( 2.8v)

well, i had my 3500 hyper x running at 2-3-3-7, v2.8 and 233mhz / (466 ddr), ran pretty good in 1:1 ratio. but 5:4 ratio im currently at 246fsb., 197mhz (394 ddr)

Nothing wrong with that...

Your almost pushing 1000 QDR FSB...

1.675vcore though

Ah, you're ok at that.. No higher though or you might experience the SNDS ( Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome )



Hell, on the AMD side of things people say 2.0v is too high but many have run that for months on end.. Granted you won't get 10years of life... Who needs its after 1-2 years.. may-b less..

I have a kingston hyper x pc2700 chip. My max FSB is 215. I run my XP 2100+ at 200x11multi to keep it on the stable-safe temperature side. i've gotten the RAM to clock at 357mhz by changing the timings.... dont remember what i had it at, might have been 2-2-2-2 timing with the cpu at a 211x11multi.

Happy Overclocking!

The max on my 2X256MB 3500 is only about 450MHz no matter what timings, but it's fine at 2-3-3-7. I run it on a 5:4 at 280FSB on a 2.4C 2.85V.

 

[batmang]

yeah, i found my max stable to be 3.2ghz , 246fsb on my 2.6c / is7-e setup. dunno why i cant go higher, i have to use a 1.675vcore to make it 100% stable, its actual vcore ranges from 1.63v to 1.66v, never seen it at 1.675v. id have to push my vcore more to go to 250fsb.. which is what i really want, cause i want the 1000fsb. using 5:4 ratio.

1.675V? I think that is too high, you are looking for trouble. Try to run Prime95 and check for temperatures.

 

[batmang]

nah, temps are about 48-50c at max full load, i ran sandra 200 times in a row overnight, had no freezing or crashing at all. the actual vcore is about 1.63-1.66v. its pretty stable from what ive seen, played games for hours, ram memtest, no crashing at all.

Sandra burn in test is no match for Prime95. Try Prime95 torture test, the temperature with Intel processor immediately jumps 7-10C, that is what I call the real test.
I had one T'bred XP 2100 running for months nicely at 2.168 GHz untill I applied Prime95 test on it. Then I realized it could not run 2.1 GHz without errors. I have it now 2.132 with 1.7V passing. So Sandra is no match for Prime95 test for stability. By a long shot.
And monitor during the test for temperatures because Pentium has gate clocking control meaning the temperature is going down very fast when the full load is not applied.

My Hyper-X 3500 can't do 216 at 2-3-3-7 at 2.85v (wont post at 2.65v!) . Max stable is like 210 I guess i'll be RMA'ing it.

If it ran fine without problems, whocares what prime95 says. If you get no errors or crashing, why change your settings just cause prime95 fails, prime95 is good if your a person who does crazy encoding or intensive cpu usage with thinks like rendering and compressing or encoding, things of that nature. I just play games and burn cds. heh. so to me, sandra running 200 times without crashing or giving errors is good enough for me

 

[stevejst]

Actually even Prime95 is not the ultimate test, you can pass it and still have problem on intensive memory use.

But if you cannot pass Prime95 that means that CPU is unstable at the full load, as simple as that. Prime95 will actually show you the abilities of your CPU under full load like no other test. For multimedia use 3DMark2001 or 2003 or VirtualDub encoding, for memory MemTest86. And I say for ultimate memory test after you passed Memtest86 try installing Linux. If you passed all of this then you can say it is stable. Sandra burn in test is not up to that leauge.

 

[batmang]

ill give the prime95 a shot, i havent even tried it yet. im guessing it would prolly fail though, but ill give it a try and see what happens. ill try 2 instances of it, to get the 100 utilization of the cpu, and see what happens.

Definitely... My PC 3200 does that.
