haha, i can definitely understand that. unfortunately, that OC was unstable in the memory test, i was getting errors in sp2004 and then i decided to clock it with memtest, also no luck regardless of the voltage. i didnt dare go beyond 2.25, and it was still erroring so now i'm pushing it back to the 3:4 (533) divider and pushing my fsb as far as it can go. i'll try it with p95 later sp2004 running stable for 12+ hours as i'm writing now.

current settings would be:
fsb: 285mhz
cpu: 2567mhz @ 1.26V
ram: 760mhz (4-4-4-12) @ 1.8V

will try tightening my timings again later i just realized that while its a lot of work, this is more fun than i imagined my old athlon was an unlocked chip, so there wasnt much to do, but when you're working with so many constraints its very satisfying to get the most out of your equipment!

yup, that's d spirit, if u get things done in a harder way, u tends to appreciate it more. i'm not khx hater but imo khx ddr2 aint perform up to d level of performance ram. how bout 26xhtt w/ ddr800 divider on ram? u can shave off some volt for d chip + fully utilize ya ram? just a suggest thou, coz i prefer a more balanced setup for 24/7.

4-4-4-12 on 1.8v..wow..nais..

Yup hoping to see their prices here, i'm thinking of maybe something like the current 780G prices i think

i have to agree, for some reason the newer khx's dont live up to the name. right now i'm just benching this cpu cause its going to my sis to do her rendering work, while i move on to a "dual core". moderno, i'll be visiting you soon

as for the cas timings i was so pissed off at the damned rams for not working at 667 divider, and then some more the silly mobo go put such stupid timings like 5-6-6-18 on sub-800 timings. i was like nabei, take that! and then ran it through memtest now i'm satisfied a bit.

i think the only good thing about hte khx now is that its cheaper than other rams. for example, i was looking at some mushkin ram for ddr800 at 4-4-4-12, its around rm190. the khx kit was 145, and since my cooler is a S-N config rather than E-W, i can fill all 4 slots since the heat spreader is low profile

from what i read last time, 785g is nothing but an overclocked 790gx. hmm... but w/ d cf capability coupled w/ sb710 which can do core unlockin tricks, sure it has some sellin points if d price comes cheap...

thinkin of goin back to "B" w/ ddr3 now...

woot, ur gonna be new x2 550be user soon mate? great coz d jr board is capable of runnin unlocked chips stably.

lol... ddr2 khx sure disappoint me... i got a pair b4 which can't do ddr2 800 @ 5-5-5-x even it's rated @ that freq...

off topic: r u from jb mate?

Hmmm 785g has a bit better config i think than a 780g with its native support of 6ch LPM..
Beside on AMD side we still need an update interm of a better spec M-ATX mobo.. M-ATX mobo are kinda scare nowdays

Goin for DDR3 on a "B" bro?? Why not? Go for it bro

another man falls down...to a ddr3

cloudwan...how hot ur tracer running last time?
i have 2 80mm fan blowing at the top and bottom of ramslots..still i can feel the heat when run all four sticks..

when run 2..not as hot as this .. i touched the outermost ram..so no "air flow there not good la" for me...
(and i priming with another 2x1gb ram have no activity at all... 32bit os tho )

my casing airflow not so good. 1-2c (nb and cpu temp) increase when close the side panel.. huuu..even added a fan at the 5.25" bay

when i see a 790gx a3+ sellin @ RM355 only there was a voice inside my head tellin me i must try ddr3 in order to stay updated...

will see how's d sale of my Devil board 1st, if thing goes well then "B"ack for Good is inevitable...

What are u waiting for?
Just buy it. Too bad, I got no money already.

-pWs-

R & R for ah_khoo nowadays:

1. must not have extra stuffs pilin in d room.
2. old stuffs must go b4 new stuffs come in.
3. no more loan unless old ones cleared.

u see my situation bro...

i thought ur sellin off ya raven? d $$$ can buy more than a board ledi...

Perghhhhh, u run 4 stick but when i was using it i only use 2 sticks
Of course the temp goes high coz the heat is hard to dissipate due to the tight fitting between 4 rams
RAM temp never was an issue to me b4..

Demmmmm RM355 only meh? If only it was priced like that back then when i bought my mobo
Miahahaha, go go ah_khoo.. By the way the candidate DDR3 u already single out ker?
Don't tell me u gonna go for KVR also

change it next year ah khoo
so then i can buy ur mobo leh..huuu


no..i feel the most right and most left (left side of #1 and right side of #4) so no bad airflow at those 2 place.. in between yes..
but still hotter then when running 2rams...

nvm la..will take out later.. just wan to see the bling2..hehehe

@ah khoo..
ur right..it short circuit..
i put a "half screw" (donno waht to call it) at the place that have no hole at the mobo..so the ramslot lands on it...
haish..sorry last time

yup, that's d latest price from kitkit in garage sale bro. u should have wait for few more weeks...

yup, d el cheapo ddr3 i reserved few days back... cheaper than my ex reaper which is sold @ $110...

i'm gettin more & more el cheapo nowadays.

from what i heard, 1gb module on dj-e is capable of doin DDR3 1800 @ 9-9-9-x on intel, if 2gb module can do DDR3 1600 @ 8-8-8-x that would be great...

can't wait next year bro, else my ddr3 will turn rusty...

u can't just put like that mah... u dun have platic type one meh?

Miahahaha, luckily only short a bit, if burn terus??
We can't live without the bling2 right?
By the way the stray Kanggaru just arrive today with my bling2 fans

I can't wait that long mah, nanti my CCF & casing rusty already

kitkit also selling the 790gxe 128 at rm335..demm makes me wan to sell off my board..luckily i will head back to perlis tomorow..so cant cod with buyer from kl..so cant sell..lucky2 i am..

huuu..no.so now i put some doubletape ( i got alot when wrongly bought 3m tape twice ) to make sure no iron/electical conductive thing in contact..huuhuhuh

haish..this sem my ptptn finish edi even havent start class yet..so i miss the chance to DFIsm myself

@cloudwan
ya..thankfully not burn..since i did tried it dozens of times la..
hehhe.. ya.bling2 cant apart from me.. but the hard part is, when want to oc, i need to take off the side panel.. or just take everything out.
huuuu

@ah_khoo

U seen this Patriot Black Edition DDR3 selling at SG x? How much is it? They say it uses Micron chips instead of the dreaded Elpida Hypers

argh....shld i sell of my reaper go for d3?...
damn confusing....

copycat otromen...

most newer batch of elpida hyper are problematic or doa, but those earlier batch are doin sooooo great...

bro, they don't play w patriot here, either gskill, ocz, corsair or team from what i observed...

i had gud experiences w/ patriot before, 1GB kit tccd runnin 313MHz @ 2.5-4-3-x and 2GB kit runnin 240MHz @ 2.5-3-2-x ...
