System is built

[Guest]

Ok well, I managed to get my system up and running. Winchester 3200 on a DFI Lanparty UT nf4 Ultra -D with 2x512mb OCZ Gold vx extreme latency pc 4000. RAM is currently running at 255mhz 1:1 htt4x 3.2v 3-2-2-7 cpu multx8. Haven't really tried to go over 255mhz, started getting funny at 3.3v. Maybe I need to loosen timings a bit, not really sure. Any advice?

Sweet ram though i am a bit dissapointed that you didn't get a SLI board. Try timings 2.5-3-3-8, and see if you can get any higher with that. Later try maybe 2-3-3-7.

Couldn't really afford a second vid card anyways. Got the RAM at 260mhz @ 3.4v 3-3-3-7 LDtx3 Won't boot up any higher at these settings. CPU at 2080mhz @1.475v. Smart speed and smart guardian temp cpu @ 30, pwmic @ 40, chipset at 45

I don't want to argue with you on that, since i'm really uninformed in the top-end ram area, recently I'm just going with mass cheap ram, a lot of crap ram, so... bu Samsung 3200's overclocks incredibly, rated for 200mhz, go to 230mhz no problem at 2.5-4-4-8, I just don't feel like going beyond 2.7V on generic ram. 3-4-4-8 doesn't help gaining anything on the lower-end rams.

Well of course there is a downside when i fill up all 4 dimm slots, have to lower command rate to 2T, so i have to overclock the crap out of it to make up for lost bandwidth. Well I don't go over 2.7 is because my old pair of samsung died fairly quick when i left it at 2.9V, maybe it's because they were defective, but just don't feel like taking that risk again.
