And noisey and hot. I've also noticed it's more efficient than a vacuum cleaner at collecting dust

Thanks man. I really hope people will see this for what it is; a noob who wants to learn. If anyone has any basics to contribute, feel welcome

It's not only collecting dust :O

I don't want to know what this is ...

It's a dead moth. We ran some mining rigs over night in the office and yeah ... these stupid thingies came too close to the fan

So, I'm home, suitably beer'd up and ready for some clocking.
Tonight wont be anything super special as I am 'suitably' beer'd up.....
For my first benchmark, I'll start where I left off, which is 4ghz SuperPi mod 1.5 32m calcs.
I got this idea from my original neighbourhood OCAU.
Guess who I am in this fred
The idea behind this thread is to OC memory, but also have a basic clock that most, if not all cpu's can achieve. this thread compares AMD and Intel, old and new Generation
My aim here is to beat my previous best score. In order to achieve that goal, I need to learn about Memory overclocking. My journey begins


well... ok then... I suppose no true post is complete without a picture

well... I must admit, that kinda sucks...
I just beat my old score on my very first run

back to bios to extract some more, suppose I need to figure out how to blck overclock to get more out of the ram

Back soon.

SO, time for the update.
Things went, as far as I can tell, pretty well.
whilst trying to stay as close to 4ghz as I could, I got my memory as far as I think I could.
Many runs where nothing would boot, be it too high a blck, or too high mem freqs.

Here I tried to up the memory frequency, and being a bit cautious, laxed the timings out at the same time. Successful run! Slower than my previous one though


So, from there, straight to tightening of the timings! Another successful run and more than 2 seconds from my previous record in the OCAU fred.


I figured from here it could only get better so I tightened up the tRAS a wee bit and slammed down this home run run


From there I tried to boot with CL8 and it seemed to be a no go so I shutdown and went to bed for the night. I had someone else that needed some attention

I would like to know from people what other things I could possibly do to improve this score. only rule being that I need to maintain the 4Ghz.

Thanks for reading and feel free to ask some questions

It looks like you didn't disable Turbo. Was that on purpose?

will it influence my bench scores?
