Question for the veteran overclockers

[skreet]

Heres the Q. I got my memory to hit 300MHz (DDR600). It's OCZ Platinum with TCCD chips.

I had to set the timings all the way up to 2.5-5-5-10. Is it even worth running it at DDR600 with such late timings. I can do 250MHz at 2.5-3-4-7. Which would yield me more performance?

Run some benching tests onyour rig, that will tell you all you need to know.

I know of Sandra and 3DMark, any others you'd recommend?

Thats a link to Super PI over at "Extreme". There is also a Mod 1.4 version which breaks down the time in milliseconds. Great program to test your rig for speed and stability.

have you tried 3-4-4-8?

3448 would end up being much faster I think than 2.55510. What kind of volts are you pushing through those?

I couldn't get post with it at CAS 3. I'll try again. 2.85v, max my board will do.. keeps the TCCD happy best I can tell.
