Hey guys...

i have just been finnished with overclocking and i now got my opty stable at 2808.11 mhz ..

know i have i little question...

too be able to hit 2808.11 mhz i had to put the memory on the 166 devider or what i called ..

know my memory runs 187.2 mhz

and before i used the devider 166 my memory ran around. 270 mhz

my question is.. can i do something to make the memory run faster ?

Is that G.Skill Extreme ddr500? If so then you shouldn't of needed a divider. If its only ddr400 than you still be able to get it to run at 234mhz with losser timmings.
If you can't do this then keep the divider and tighten up the timmings and that to will make the momory run a little faster also.

Yeah it is the G.Skiill extreme ddr500 .. what should i do then?

Before you used the divider was your memory running 234mhz. and not 270mhz(I'm guessing that was a typo in your first post). if your in a 1:1 ratio(no divider) then you RAM should be running 234 mhz.
EDIT: I would take the divider back off and set timming loss like 3-4-3-8. and then see how tight you can get them with AMD64 tweaker

Why did you need to put the memory on a divider for it to work? If you have DDR500 memory, it should clock at least 250 mhz. Since you said that you're running your fsb at 234 mhz, it shouldn't be on a divider. You should be able to run your memory at 1:1 with the fsb. You'll actually be running the RAM slower than it could go so maybe you should try dropping the multi to 11.5 and then running the memory faster. 11.5 x 250 = 2875 mhz! If you spend the money on the faster memory, there's no reason not to use it at its rated potential! You may even be able to pull off running the multi at 11 and then running the memory at no less than 255 mhz for 2805 mhz.

No i think they ran around 260-270 mhz ..but at that point i had overclocked my opty around 2.7 ghz .. then it suddenly would not go higher then i put it on 166 divider and it could go higher ..

If they were running at 260-270mhz and the cpu was at 2700mhz then you must of been ussing the 10x multiple.

Here are the settings I'd try:

HTT(FSB): 250- 255
cpu multiple: 11x
memory in a 1:1 ratio(no divider)
HT: 3x (or 4x if your not going higher with FSB of 250)

Ok .. you say that i should put my multi to 11.5 X 250 should i just do this in bios directly ore should i put it on 230 x 11.5 and then take iit stp by step until i hit 250 X 11.5 ...? what should i put the divider on ... auto?

I'd put the divider on 200(same as 1:1) but this way it wont change after raising the FSB to a certain level.

#7 hmm no i have not ran at 10 multi i have always had it on 12 .. hmm :S
 
#11 ·
Ok thanks .. but should i just do all these settings at once like put the divider on 200 and put the multi on 11.5 x 250 .. my computer wouldnt crash ore something right?
 
#12 ·
I'd set the divider at 200 and multiple at 11.5 and fsb at 200 or 210 and then work up from there. So you can best avoid any crashes. I can't run .5 multiples, my computer wont boot then, thats why I suggested an 11 multiple.
 
#13 ·
Ok thank you very much. ..then i will just try to work my way up to the 11.5 x 250
 
#14 ·
yup, no problem, good luck.

Thanks again mann ...

Do you think my system are Ok know .. I have tested and i think its stable know ....

Looks good. 1.6 is an ok voltage. I probably wouldn't go any higher. the Increase in vcore wouldn't account to much more of a mhz gain. Plus you might then loss your 1:1 ratio. I think you could try for 2.9 though, and stay in a 1:1 ratio still. Depends on the memory and the voltage.
Nice overclock though.

Thanks ... when i push it further it gets a little bit unstable in OCCT.. should i increase som sort of of voltage to get it stable ,,, what about chipset voltage I have not even touch that .. if there is a chipset voltage...? I dont really no..

Yes there is a chipset voltage. Will it help your oc to become stable,,, maybe.
You could up the voltage to the next level up, but I don't believe it always helps. Plus I'm not sure it thats bad for the chipset in the long run. I don't think it would be though if it was only moved up one level. You might also try upping the vdimm(RAM voltage). It could be that the RAM is unstable and could use a bit more voltage. What are they at right now?

Ok maybe ill try the chipset voltage im not sure .. but the mem is on 2,9 in asus ai booster but i thin its only 2.85 in bios .. hmm strange
