Overclocking To The Max

For many readers, this third test series may well be the most interesting. Using memory timing values of CL 5.0-5-5-15, every module was run at the highest FSB speed, at which the system would remain stable. In this case, we started the Modules in DDR2-800 or DDR2-888 mode, and raised FSB speed automatically while running a memory test program, until the first errors began to occur. The voltage remained set at a constant 2.2 volts, or we wouldn't have been able to reach the peak values we recorded below.
