Hi guys,

Can any1 tell me watz the highest freq can Q9400 goes?
Those hu r using the same category proc can share wif me?
This is wat i can clock n its stable... mor den dat nt stable d...

great job getting 500FSB on that .
possibly aorund 550 max i think .
try google around .
hehe

Mayb becoz of my RAM i thnk...
Coz i OC my 800 to 1000...

If i get 1066 Ram... wif ratio 1:1
i can get higher^^

hi bro....

try to set your ram to lower mhz 1st.. i mean lower then default mhz..

then OC your CPU... if your CPU stable then just clock your ram.

this step is most OCer do it 1st....

I dun noe y my mobo must use 1:1 ratio wan...
EP45-UD3L

So the higher RAM freq the higher CPU freq...

Can sum1 help me wif this?
i wana get rid of 1:1 ratio...

1:1 is the lowest you can get.
If you ram is bottle-necking your overclock mileage, then you should change to a good ram.

-pWs-

this is the lowest ram speed for the setting.

what mobo is that?

EP45-UD3L

Added on July 8, 2010, 7:52 amMy ram do nt face bottlenecking prob...
itz stable...

jz wana stop using 1:1 ratio...
coz i wana try to oc my q9400 mor higher without oc-ing my ram...

Added on July 8, 2010, 7:54 amwat do u min by lowest ram speed for the setting?
My ram is A-DATA Gaming series at default 800mhz...
i oc to 1000mhz...

in 1:1 ratio...
the bios shows 500 x 2 for the RAM (1000mhz)
500 x 8 for the proc (4.0ghz)

Get yourself to learn the divider.
Then you will know what we going to say here.

ASUS can set proc n ram unlink in bios...
bt mine can...
surely link in high oc...
else, i can unlink it when i set it as default freq

u said it urself......
dats y need to set to 1:1 ratio.

I dont rily get wat u min wif the statement

Dat mobo function only 1:1 when i overclock my proc...
The proc feq link to the ram freq...
so when i oc my proc, ram will be clocked too...

^^ so asking for superb overclocker's help...
how to make it "unlink" so that i can oc my proc only without changing ram clock...

u cant unlink it unless u use nvidia chipset board, but i dont think they going to overclock a quad to 500fsb easily.
and if u use 800mhz for 500fsb, u wont not get desire performance.
They key to tweak the performance in p45 is the PL setting, with 1:1 u will get > 10 in PL, maybe 11 or 12, u can check it using memset.

yes hengmy said rite..

nvidia chipset really hard oc FSB to above 400mhz.. there is FSB barrier..

btw TS, did u know how calculate the divider at 1 place?

for eg: 1066 FSB / 4 = 266mhz x multiplier = Speed thus 266mhz x 3 = 800mhz ram... 3 = ratio.. as u see 1:1 ratio... (i take 2:3 ratio)

Oh...
mine is 500mhz : 500mhz
so is 1:1, iznt it?

your adata ram is performance ram or value ram?
what is your dram voltage?

Itz 1.80 - 2.10...
i set it as 2.04...

Performance ram...
Itz gaming series ram...

Look lk this http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1461147&hl=
I attach 4 pics...
Bt Ther is only 1 picture with DDR2 800mhz...
The rest is DDR3...
Coz im selling DDR3 n use DDR2

not sure how far this ram can go., maybe you can get DDR2 1066 ram.
a base clock of 500mhz is impressive already.
i think 1:1 is the lowest ratio already, you don't have 5:4 to let the ram run at 400mhz with 500mhz base clock.

Yeap...
DDR2 wif 1066mhz will b great for me...
waiting for PIKOM PC Fair to get 1 pair...
