why everytime i oc above 800mhz i get bluescreen..
oh yeah im using xms2 DHX 44412..

let the screenies and results do the talking...
POST your benchmarking dude...
and follow the rules...

On Corsair XMS?
Dream on.

Except if you're the type whose freakin' lucky where you got one of these:
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC2-6400 C5 Rev. 1.4
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC2-6400 C5 Rev. 1.6
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC2-6400 C5 Rev. 1.7
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC2-6400 C5 Rev. 1.8
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 PC2-6400 C3 Rev. 1.1
Corsair XMS DDR2 667 PC2-5400 C4 Rev 2.8
Corsair XMS DDR2 667 PC2-5400 C4 Rev 2.8

Don't dream of going 1200MHz with the other revisions.

What's the use of going super speed when you're on super low strengths, high straps and low trd?

It's the same as you don't overclock.
I remember someone mentioned about getting the highest clock but low latencies on 1:1 ratio.
Now, whose that guy huh?

how about my Corsair XMS2 Twin 2x 2048-6400C5DHX ???
how far could i go without pumping the Vdimm ???

thread cleaned
next person that starts something here again will be banned

ops..sorry general odin..my ram is corsair xms 2 pc6400 2x1gb

those are 2.1v rated right
should to 1:1 500fsb 1000mhz cl5 or loose CL4 .... 4-5-4-12 or 4-5-4-15..

keep on yapping away..

oh i see.... thanks for the info

Thanx sHawTY for nice info
So for normal Corsair XMS2, average stable OC range about 1000Mhz - 1100Mhz?

maybe u will reach ddr1100..but with loose timing

what is the difference of loose timing and tight timing??

latencies..

huhu break 1100Mhz barrier
my 2GB XM2 DHX 800Mhz C4 4-4-4-12 kit stable at 1121Mhz with 2.2V
but with 5-5-5-18 timings

tighter timing better..but will probably block ur ram to get higher speed..
4-4-4-12 at ddr800 is way better than 5-5-5-18 at ddr800..
OCers will try to find the highest speed with the tightest timing possible to achieve good OC result

huhu... nice results...
thanks for submitting your results
1st page updated


oic.. so compare tight timings and high speeds which one better?
speed or timings?

usually, higher speed may run better,but beware, if the timing too loose,better stick to lower speed but tighter timing..for example,with ddr980,i can get the tightest timing at 5-4-4-5-11-2t(amd system),but with ddr950,i can get 4-4-4-5-11-2t...here, the ddr950 is better, coz of the timing..thats why u need to find the sweetest spot..not by just running at high speed or at the tightest timing can give u good result..u need both..gd luck

thanks for the info...
you have been a big helper...

post ur result here bro...wanna see..r u on amd or intel platform?

remember over tight timing will damage ur ram , so play carefully

yup...always tight ur timing step by step..u wont want to bother urself RMAing ur ram while u in the mood of OCing

that why >>Life Time Warranty<< comes in handy

yup..but to wait for the ram to come back is a big pain in the ass

hmm... just got my new comp yesterday...
dont dare and dont want to touch anything got to do with voltage...

now my rig is running on a E8200 FSB OC to 400MHz results in Clockspeed OCed to 3.2Ghz... i'm happy enough with that....
and my Corsair XMS2 Twin2x 2400-6400C5DHX have not arrived yet.... so borrowed 2 1GB Kingston PC5400 to tahan for a while.... OCed to 800Mhz, 1.8Vdimm

Added on February 14, 2008, 1:42 pmoh yeah, the ratio is 1:1 and timing is 5-6-6-18

thats good..waitin for ur dhx...its 2gb pair ram isnt it?how much?

yaya... rm 195 for 1 pair...

fast2 get ur corsair and post ur result here

r u sure i can up the vdimm to 2.2V w/o anyprob?my ram is xms2 pc2 6400..if rise to 2.2v,how about their temp?it ok with stock black spreader stock?

Overclock take risks. Bear in mind
Nothing is sure. Some ram even spoilt in non-oc condition.

If you want go beyond stock Vdimm, it is better to have active cooling.

-pWs-

Yup... thats why i would refer to remain at stock Voltage
safer....

Added on February 17, 2008, 9:38 pmthe corsair ram not here yet....
haiz
will post my OC results after it arrives

Added on February 18, 2008, 7:04 pmwoot...
finally i got my self a Corsair XMS2 2048-6400 ver7.1
haiz... same performance as the DHX but lazy to wait for the DHX la....

my OC results... (sorry no screenies)

Intel Core 2 Duo E8200
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3
Corsair XMS2 Twin2x 2048-6400
Winfast GeForce 8600GT DDR3

Proc OC = Vcore: 1.136v ; Clock: 3.0Ghz ; FSB: 1500Mhz
RAM OC = Vdimm: 1.8v ; Frequency: 450MHz ; Timing: 5-6-6-21 2T
GPU OC = Core: 600Mhz ; Memory: 750Mhz ; Shader: 1296Mhz

bro..show some ss..wanna see the ram capabilities..if it barely survive on intel platform,i wonder how will it perform on amd base rig

erm... after OCing it... i really loose faith on Corsair XMS rams...
it clocked at arrond 420 MHz with a timing of 5-6-6-19
further than that will result in unstable platform and crash your windows....

THIS IS SO SHIT...
getting rid of this RAM soon...

that is shit..real shit..u know what chipset it used?

Ermm...what ram you bought??
Impossible so low wor.

-pWs-

Corsair Twin2x CM2048-6400
f***ed up ram... even Kingston's ValueRAM DDR667 can OC my proc to 3.2Ghz

Added on February 22, 2008, 4:27 pmthis one got stable at 2.8Ghz processor clock....
SHIT !!!!

Try pump some v,see how

tried... can go extra 12 +/- MHz more only T_T
approx 432Mhz like that lo....
damm shit

not planning to do Voltage OC by long term....

yeah..u just like me..loose faith in xms corsair..i think Team Elite/Team xtream more useful 4 OCing..
i have try Team Elite b4 n get really nice OC result..but after upgrade,c my validation CPU-z..

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=318443

Thats all i can get from my xms2..really bad..

try to loosen the timing..its tight dude..

whoasai not bad

hmm... wad type of RAM you use?
nice timings there....
but still my result are far worst than yours

yes..i know..my ram 2 tight..coz if i loosen the timing,my system will come w/ BSOD(blue screen)..thats y i said this ram very disappointed me..

But.........then i have try jack up the Vdimm from 2.04v to 2.16v@2.2bios..i get the new result..very nice result..
so i take back my -ve word about this ram..This ram ok la..u look my new OC..






http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9661/newsystempr2.jpg

i got 4-4-4-12 2T/1T @ 358.9MHz freq
how it is alive88?i know u know about this OC well...

my ram same with u kot.. Twinx 2x1gb xms2 ddr800 rev5.0>...if u wan to OC ur cpu,Vcore may at stock.but memory smetime cannot follow ur OC..thats y,we must low the divider n up the vdimm..

my cpu OCed from 2.0GHz to 2.51GHz..RAM freq 358.9MHz..real freqx2=DDR718..i know i have run below DDR800.but thats the better to stick with best speed of cpu n memory..i can OCing my cpu 2.60GHz or higher but i cannot handle the cpu temp..very hot..if i do so,my ram will get the better then DDR800..just wait to change the air cooler to water cooler..(mayb 2 years)... mayb i changed my system the next 2 years..hoho..

i can OCed..


a) 358.9MHz @ 4-4-4-12 n
b) 418MHz @ 5-5-5-15...


which one the better choice?

Time for u guyz go for other alternatives, changing other brands.

for me i would go for

b) 418MHz @ 5-5-5-15...

coz i wanna get some juice from my processor
wakakkaa

thnx..so i stick wif 418MHz..i hope my cpu will reach 3.0Ghz some day..

Try increase vcore and try 4ghz

so far i'm still the highest
