Overclocking P5Q with 8gb ram?

Thats supposed to be 3.8 ghz! maybe nobody replied coz they thought i was lying? lol

Double the voltage should not be the problem, doesnt the voltage get supplied to each ram module seperately?

The reason for that is I believe that no chip is the same, it could be that for example one of the modules has a max OC at 1100, but one of the other modules cant go above 1080. I believe that is the reason of stability issues. 4 modules just increases the chance of having a chip that isnt as good ocable as the other ones.

timings 4-4-4-12 but running at 5-5-5 15. voltage 2.1

This is the ram

im clocking p5Q deluxe , 8 gig corsair dominator ram and running vista ultimate 64 bit, vista is using all 8 gigs for something called superfetch, its making ur entire ram act like cache, so the moment u boot up it does its best to put everything u might need into memory

here's my thread, maybe ull find some info u need:

Hell yes! why would you run four? It's slower to run all four slots.

X3mgamer, no, it's called a failed feature and poor memory usage. Read up on it, they are trying to fix this with Windows 7.

Xwinx, turn up voltage if you want. That might help if you didn't already try it. If you you don't want to go higher, then that's your preference. Plus, try take out the extra 1 gig sticks. You'll actually notice a difference if I'm not mistaken.

Yep, and I won't use it. Even Gates himself said it wasn't supposed to be released so early and that it was unfinished. It's the worst OS since ME. And, ME was an example of a poor OS being slower then the next os.

Windows 7 is basically what Vista should have been. And if it's not a fail, why are they focusing so much on that feature and admitting they screwed up? Gates doesnt like to take credit for the OS fully because his people panicked and were going by a timeline which they shouldn't have, according to his plan. Which is why windows 7 is going to take a while. Also they are going to fix the memory usage problem.

Yes, there is a lot to bitch about when using an incomplete OS that they admit to. If you can't see that right away when using it then your an idiot.

The only reason why I'd use Vista for is eye candy which is not enough for me to put with it. Now if I was a heavy gamer and I needed direct x 10 which XP supposively doesn't support, then that's a bit more reasonable. Correct me if I'm wrong on the direct x 10 thing.

I guess your right, failed feature isn't really the correct term then. It's an unfinished feature that actually "works". That makes the OS look even worse. I think people have the right to bitch about an unfinished OS.

I didn't say it didn't run fine with the fixes they did overtime. I admit it got a lot better. I was on Vista since the beta release, rc1, rc2, final rc, and the 64 bit. They were impressive at the time for a beta. But when they released it as is, it was the biggest mistake they had ever made. In fact, it was supposed to have a new file system and other features, but they had rushed it out instead. They had to get something out there I guess. Fact still remains, it's incomplete. Which is why I don't bash it like I want to. As for why a multi billion company would do this? That remains untold. They could of at least did some refining to the system to the final rc before they released it though.

Windows 7 might not even be out in 2010 because they aren't going by a timeline and they actually want to take their time because of Vista and how damaging it was. A release date is unknown so it could be sooner or later. But at least it looks promising and not just hype.

I admit, I was actually quite impressed with the sp1 upgrade. I just find XP a lot smoother and the interface is really easier to use. I took the time to try and become familiar with it, and it's nowhere near as smooth as the XP interface.

Again, it's eye candy with a nice interface, and for heavy gamers that need to have that direct x 10 for the newest stuff. And as for opening apps a few seconds faster with prefetch?... I don't need to comment about this. *shakes head
