Very strange Everest results

[Tibby]

These results seem way off to me.

Can anyone explain?

Your memory is running at 1:1. In the bios you should change it to run at 2:3. This would provide the memory to work at its rated 1000 mhz speed rather then working at only 667 right now. Love the ram choice though, really great stuff.

If you do not know how to set this please pm me.

Cheers.

I do know how to, but thing is, I read somewhere that the best ratio is 1:1 as it works in sync with the CPU or something strange like that...

 

[The-Noid]

That is at really high speeds and really low timings. That has also been proven false in the last week or two. IF you are talking about 400 mhz+ then your super pi 1m times are going to be a bit lower with 1:1 cas 3 compared to 1100 cas 4. At 430-440 fsb 1:1 Cas 3-3-3-8 is faster then DDR2-1200 for superpi. It is a bit slower in mem test, but you start to lose stability.

Sandra Read for me is 8600 @ 430 fsb with 1:1 Cas 3-3-3-8 and 8700 with 4:5 4-4-4-4. But northbridge takes full voltage to get ram that high on a divider so I just run 1:1 for stability. The ratios are always faster except for in SuperPI 1m.

Cheers.

Thanks alot mate
I'll change the ratios and see what happens

 

[The-Noid]

That ram will do 4-4-3-4 as well at that speed. So I think you are best at running that to get highest speed.

here's my everest results, with that ram and cpu you should be able to kick my results ass too man.
everest cache and mem benchmark

my read - 13,720
your read - 5,903

my copy - 6,791
your copy - 5,0xx (trial version)

your latency - 89.1
my latency - 64.7

keep in mind this OC is stable, but I don't leave it that high because it doesn't boot consitantly I generally run my FSB at 450. In this pic it's 473, cause I just happen to have a ss at 473 available.

seems very odd that you have twice the bandwidth i have

something is off

especially with my weak assed timings, lol.

Everest read has a bug with 2MB Conroes. For OP, I'll try to run the test with the same frequency/timings and upload the result.

Here is the result where you should be.

There can be slight difference since I'm on 975X and you're on P965, but your current memory performance is way below. I first thought you're on single-channel, but the pics say otherwise.. hm..

OP, can you check your memory's sub-timings? Get a Memset 3.0 (Google it) and open it.
