What timings?

[Pancake]

I got it at 1600Mhz Stable now, im using all the stock ram settings

What should i do to make it more l33t? :knock:

What have you got now then Sean? CPU/Memory wise?

[Pancake]

Corsair Dominators, 1600Mhz with those timings as stock, 2 x 2Gb, will be getting another set soon.

[Snakedoc]

Ah, you have gone the AMD route.

[Pancake]

My puny dual core was REALLY peeing me off with not being able to do things properly, this will see me though to Sandy (Hence buying shedloads of things that wont get replaced like RAM and Graphics and SSD's), No point in spending the extra for an i7 really.

[Snakedoc]

Well I hope you like it when it's released and it's what you hope. Sorry not much help of ocing the ram though. Other than increase FSB a bit and see lol.

If its not then ill just keep this rig, and if it is then this will become my spare/server/parts

Will only need new board and CPU, so it shouldent break the bank

c3 or c3 stepping? C2 stepping isnt good for memory OCing (max is 1700-1800mhz) but C3 are a little better, you can get 1750-1850mhz.

if you want to OC timings then for amd best is something like 6-8-6-20, but thats hard and you might need more voltage, try it with 1.65v, first with 7-8-7-24-1t then 6-8-6-20-1t etc. also, all those extra timings that nobody talks about, loosen them abit, if you know what ones i mean. they will save you voltage and dont affect performance as much as the main ones.

[Pancake]

Alright thanks, ill have a go

Its C3.

I wouldn't bother OC'ing the ram. I would try to tighten the timings instead. AMD chips seem to prefer that.

i doubt your get cl6 out of them but you might get cl7 something like 7-7-7-20 would be sweet @ 1600mhz

true, very true, but Thuban Love to have 1800mhz+ ram (i know he hasnt got thuban but just saying) because amd put an awsome memory controller in these chips so you can get ram up to 2200mhz on a 1055t if you have a capable ram and motherboard. with a x2, x3 or x4 you should keep it at 1600mhz 7-7-7-20 or 6-8-6-20 are really good but not easy to get. im running 1300 6-6-6-20 at the moment at 1.65v but i need 1.8v at 1600mhz at same timings, but i do have a c2 stepping and worse ram so i imagine you should get that with 1.65v since that ram is pretty good i think. should have got the G.skill flares though cuz there made for AMD :D

edit: i also loosened the "advanced" ram timings as i like to call them, there all those other ones which dont mean a thing, loosen all them because youl need less voltage and it wont affect performance much (only if your struggling with keeping at 1.65v) for amd btw anything up to 1.8v should be safe as it doesnt wear away the IMC like it does on P55 (at least i dont think it does) but i just keep it at 1.65v anyway but for testing you can go up to 1.9v if it doesnt void the warranty.

remember to put the CPU-NB at 1.35v, and put it at around 2700mhz, this will get better performance and latency :thumb:
keep HT link at 1.3v 2400 or less.

[Pancake]

got it with stock voltzz, stable as far as i can see

Been running a blend test for ages now, totally stable :thumb: thanks

[mac124]

Has it made much change to performance?

[Pancake]

Cant really tell, my PC is always fast anyway

[Bigian88]

passmark performance test - memory test only - before and after?
