Full Version: Software to overclock RAM?
Lowyat.NET > Computers > Overclockers United

Hey guys, I'm running my rig on a DP35DP Intel Motherboard. And the most I can overclock my E6850 is 3.2GHz. Using Orthos, I've identified the RAM as the problem. Because I'm using an Intel motherboard, I cannot adjust the frequency of the RAM from BIOS. I've been using SetFSB to OC my pc. Is there any other way to tweak my RAM? Otherwise I've hit a brick wall.

Intel boards are not made for overclocking. I don't think you can do it unless Intel unlocks their bios recently.

Yea i think only those C2Xtreme mobo able to OC.I forgot what its called.
PhantomThief
Ahh, that's sad sad.gif . It's a pity I only got into overclocking *after* I got my rig. I still plan to upgrade my rig at the end of the year though, probably new RAM and a new mobo. I'll be back asking for advice then. Thanks guys biggrin.gif

You can tune ur ram timing with Memset..

can memset really tweak the ram on the fly?

yeah..
PhantomThief
But can I set the frequency of the ram to match the CPU? Cause my ratio between RAM and CPU frequency is 6:5 now. I want them to match.

Go into bios and change to 1:1 divider tongue.gif
PhantomThief
I haven't found that option in the DP35DP bios. Is that setting available? Where is it?
general_odin
what's your ram's stock frequency ??
800Mhz or 667Mhz ?
if its 800Mhz FSB, you can do it through the bios by strapping the ram and CPU together as 1:1

Then your CPU will be OCed and not your ram
PhantomThief
That much I already know. My problem is that my motherboard is an Intel motherboard and does not support OC-ing. Which is why I'm asking for an alternative to adjusting the frequency from BIOS. Cause that option simply isn't available on this motherboard.

Memset is the way.

I want to ask 1 question, the Trfc value normally for a value ram is around where?
IcEMoCHa
you can try the bios there is a setting called something ratio or divider.. Normally it is set to auto u can set it to 1:2 to get ur ram to run at the same speed as cpu fsb..
PhantomThief
The closest thing in BIOS I can find is Reference Frequency. No idea what that is.

does the settings there show 1:2,1:2.4 etc... ?
PhantomThief
Nope. It shows 400MHz, 333MHz, 266MHz and 200MHz. I tried adjusting it, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever. I'm out of ideas.

Intel board can o'c with softwares?
PhantomThief
Yep. It's the only way to oc an intel board, actually.

adjust it lower then check the ram frequency in windows with CPU-z..
PhantomThief
I already did that. Thats why I said it had no effect.

Does this software reliable enough to support oC ram?
