1:1 is better than others...

not always

Your pc running smoothly bcoz u oced the proc already, and better if you use 1:1. You can do some benches for the mem bench for other divider and see which one gives more bandwidth.

i failed to set my memory back to 667Mhz(DDR2) , it will unable to logon windows zzz

abit confusing here....
so the DRAM:FSB ratio is still 3:2, or 500Mhz:333Mhz .. seem like the ram is faster than the cpu. Do i need to oc my proc to 500*9 ? XD

nonit la bro...

ur e6600 fsb is 1066 ma...

then u set ur ram to 533 ma run at 1:1 liao lo...

no la. .. now my rated FSB is 1333 according to CPu-z ...
and duno y, my DRAM frequency set to AUTO at BIOS now, it is better bechmark compared to what is manually set to 800Mhz previously

can u explain,which situation dont need 1:1....i'm still learning to oc...newbie here.hope otai like u can explain..

he just means that sometimes, 1:1 isnt the way to go.
like lets say your rams arent that good, you need something to bump it up.
or if you wanna run your rams at a higher speed, but you want your fsb to be lower.

u dun need to run 1:1 when u ram cant cope with the speed same like FSB.. e.g, when u use super duper value ram that cant overclock well above 400mhz, but u want to run ur FSB higher than that.. then no need to do it..
i juz give example, but most DDR2 now can clock above 400mhz

ooo...thank you for explain...btw,1:1 is the best rite...

u still didnt get what we say.. maybe

haiyya..so no problem la if not get 1:1?

It depends on your preference and ram capabilities.

Preference
If let say you only use 400 (FSB), your ram will run @ 800MHz 1:1.
From here, if you want to overclock ram, you can use other divider.

Ram Capabilities
If you use 500(FSB), your ram will run @ 1000MHz++ on 333/800
Now, most of the ram can run more than 1000MHz. But if take for example, the ram cannot run more than 1000MHz. So you will forced to use 1:1 to lower down the ram speed.

-pWs-

and and...

if ur cpu is 1066,
when u run @ stock -> 266fsb
if u run 1:1 , ur ram runs ddr533
if u run 2:3 , ur ram runs ddr800

for above 2 case, (provided ram timings stay constant)
run @ 2:3 , gives u more bandwidth on ram's read & copy as well as lower latency
though fyi the write bottlenecks by nb, so it didn't increase proportionately with others.

Hey im kinda nub in this forum, looking forward of upgrading my cpu to the Q9550, anyone can supply the stats.. Thanks =)

u lookin bout wat bro?

i think he is looking for review.... btw, here are some reviews for q9550

hmmm.. sorry is out of topic here..

jus bought a new server.


2.83ghz, 1x quad xeon, 24gb ram 1tb 10k sas hdd, dual 1100w redundent psu.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Wow, one hell of a rig.. 24gb ram ?

its a server...
