Succulent Pacifier

Hi ppl!

First off, just want to say a HUGE thanks to all the other board members for sharing their system specs and general issues.

I also was having huge issues running these RAM initially, after lotsa readin and trial and error I realised I was the uber noob (as I had already realised earlier) and didnt know jackall. I know a lot of people have had issues and probably bagged the ram, but I think I somehow got it going.

Anyway, the system is Gigabyte GA-MX790T-UD5P -- OCZ3P16002G - 4x2GB -- Phenom II x4 955 BE

cpu: 3680
cpu volt: 1.45v
cpu multi: 16
fsb: 230
ht link: 2070
nb: 2070
nb voltage: 1.35v

8G Ram OCZ3P16002G
ram: 6-6-6-24-2T trc- 27
ram voltage: 1.9v
i think its the 6.66x multi on 230fsb, so...uuhhh....2x766mhz (1533?he he)

I hope didnt forget anything....

Anyway, it appears stable for now, survived prime for an hour and I stopped it, cause im kinda keen to share and hear some feedback before I leave it for longer (its been a while since ive had something....stable.....with this current setup....)

My question is this: I just want to use this system for audio production. Have I done the right thing with the system settings as I have described them (and provided it goes past an hour when I run a longer stress test)?

I am very very new to this overclocking business and I have tried to pick things up about the ram settings on this board (e.g. general settings, and the Tony? 1333mhz vs 1600mhz charts etc.) and from overclock.net about the amd cpu (remember seeing quite a few references to preference for higer fsb and lower multiplier compared to the opposite.)

And considering the charts concerning the 1333mhz vs 1600 at lower timings, have I done alright with these type of settings also?

Should I lower the multiplier to be slightly underlcoking the 1333mhz or better to keep it as is? I have tried 5-5-5-24 timings but prime won't last past the first 2 tests and crash.

Anyway, interested to hear any comments from anyone about any part of this mis-adventure

I have also had these RAM running at 7-7-7-24-2T trc-27 @1.9v and also stable for approx an hour when I stopped the test to try other settings.

Thanks again to all who have shared their system settings! Really appreciate it.
