So far 2332 seems to be my limit with this board and ram, but of course there are always more settings to try...it'd be nice to know if I have reached the IMC limit or not.

Some FX CPUs will run RAM @ 2400+ MHz.

Thanks Mr.P, awesome find.

I may be upgrading to a crosshair, I thought the only difference was an extra x16 lane but apparently it has much more memory tuning capability than the sabertooth.

I'll let you all know when I find my IMC's limit.

Sorry to interrupt the very compelling thermal discussion.

Thank you very much. I had suspected it had to be possible, I'd find it hard to believe that I can get a maxxmem score at 2600 yet cannot get 2400 32m stable, I'll keep trying.

I was also testing my pair of Samsungs. I'm not sure if it was a limitation of my board or my Samsungs but I couldn't get 2400Mhz.

I could only get them to Overclock with a 8x Multi which started them out at 1600Mhz. I could only get my FSB to 290.

At least they overclocked to 2000Mhz with only 1.3v smile.gif

Your samsungs won't run on any other multi? That's odd.

Not sure what your running at 2000, but try 8-9-9-24.

I'm getting 4.2GHz @ 1.2v on this 6100. Temps are still fairly high, but its optimized for quieter fan speeds. And the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 isn't great for overclocking mad.gif

If your CPU/NB is at 2000 (stock) make sure the CPU/NB V is 1.175, if you have it at 2200 set it to 1.2V. I've noticed MB's putting it at 1.25V stock which is on the high side (stock CPU/NB V should be 1.175V).
