Correct, but its not an effective check for AM2 because it does not use the full bandwidth of the AM2 memory controller. Even if memory is stable in memtest, its not guaranteed to be stable in other stress tests (heck, you might not even make it to windows).

hmm.. what your suggestion for memory test ?
http://www.memtest.org/
i always use dos memory test for checking ram

Thats the one I used. Good for earlier systems, but not for AM2. Use tests under windows like prime95/orthos. Open the task manager and check the amount of ram free listed under the performance tab, and set the stress test to use up at least 90% of the remaining free ram (not 100%, or the system will start paging). Try to quit as many background programs as possible before checking the free ram amount to make the stress test more effective. Btw, if using orthos, you must halve the number first, as orthos will tell each cores to use the amount of ram you set, which results in double that number of ram tested for a dual core.

drop your ht lar bro...
3X or 2X maybe...

only 590 can over the 1000

oic...coz i saw sempronic also used mobo like mine..his htt link can go higher than that..ok i will try...TQ bro...

increasing ht is the last thing...
get stable oc 1st

still ok lor..upgrade slow2 bro...ive waited for 2 years to get my own pc..is it true that HTT over 1000 for 570 chipset is unstable?

i have 570 before... it happening like that to me...

cyberloner, what happened to ur new rams. that night u brought ur new rams right?? patriot somemore....

ahh u remember @@
lol ... change to the kingston one lor and can set to 400mhz memory divider and can gain over 3ghz now...
so means... some ram dun like to be use in 400mhz mode... ( happen to the patriot i used one )
memory controller in the cpu so we need to find the ram it likes and clock... =)

wahh....still saw someone calling my name....
heheheh

I tried downgraded my CPU to clock voltage and able to achive 2.75 and still get 3Dmark at the same amount.
I think better I go for 2.75Ghz 44c load for daily use.

@cyberloner,
yep. its a very nice card. Im selling the card cause planning to change to 3870 CF with X4 and 790 mobo.

another F3 user ..after this there should be around 2x F3 user will flood here



vcore in bios = 1.25v
vdimm = 2.1v set to auto
