waa bro, i'm not in a position to give advice, suggestion mebe can lah...
nb volt seems a bit low for a 3kmhz, not so sure bout ht link help in boostin performance, most of d time i'll just keep it 2500MHz or below.
can ya ram can do 7-7-7 all d way to 1700 (or slightly higher)? from d stock settin they looked like bbse sticks (correct me if i'm wrong). from what tested, bbse sticks max out around 1840 @ 7-8-7 w/ near to 1.7v (or slightly higher, depend on quality of d sticks > geil ultra 2133 w/ 1.68, team xtreem 2000 w/ 1.725v @ 1824). i have yet to try 7-9-7 on bbse so if ur lookin for anything beyond 1840 i can't really comment now.
for ya case i think it could be d limitation on amd's imc. ofcoz my examples are diff coz i was only on a poor propus while ur on thuban which comes with superior imc, but i think ram fare further under thuban imc but timing wise (@ same freq) amd can't do as gud as intel.
sadly i have no thuban w/ me now, else i can assist in testin bbse sticks which sittin on my fren's table, i'm helpin him to push d cheapo eco 1333 sticks. up until now i still have no idea what chippies used in these sticks, could be bbse (coz eco 1600 are on bbse accordin to i4memory forum) but i suspect these sticks mite be usin low quality psc chips. d volt used on these sticks @ same freq is much lower if compared to geil ultra 2133 & team xtreem 2k.
u have any psc sticks w/ u there? imo it's easier to hit high clock w/ 'em instead of bbse chips. bbse shine in 1600 ~ 17xx @ tighter timing (7-7-7).
paiseh, i'm not helpin at all by off topic-ing...
i tested the NB volt one by one through the test, and this kinda the sweat spot. but i'll try more trials from your suggestion. as for HT Link, yes it does boost vantage score, around 300-500 points from 2k to 2.7k iirc.
in intel rig CL7 no problem. but i guess this is mobo problem. wkkwkk.... 1600 CL7 also cannot. already feedback to MSI, hope they come out with a fix. i haven't really tested out this pair of ram as i was on clarkdale before this. clarkdale very difficult to reach 2000MHz mark. 1.68v for 1940 7-8-7 iirc.
nope, i only have this Corsair at the mean time. poor man is like that. anyway i'll try the NB Vol thinggy. just tested vantage cpu test vcore 1.37 4.0GHz passed. but during full vantage run, graphic test not stable (VGA default). it's normal actually, i tried many times that CPU Test passed may not pass the graphic test. wkkwkkwkkw... maybe it's only me.
