P5W DH Deluxe and Corsairpc8500c5 (again)

[pks1414]

I have read loads of threads relating to this subject and being a complete idiot I still cannot get my machine to run stable when I try making some of the changes. Although the ideal solution would be for Asus to come up with the solution I would like to get that bit more from the memory which at the moment sits at 5300. My System specs:

 

E6700 stock fan Runs at about 32/33 idle

2 x 1024 gb Corsair C8500 Ram

Evga GeForce 8800gts

Thermaltake 680w psu

 

I initially built the system to give me a bit mor oomph to run Microsoft FSX, and to be honest at stock settings it doesn't do a bad job.

 

When I change some of the settings I either get a freeze completely or the BSOD(twice)

 

I would be really grateful if someone could come up with some settings that will allow me to get a bit more performance.

 

As I said I am a complete newbie at this I don't want to compete in the overclocking world championships I just want to get that bit more performance

 

Cheers and hope everyone had a good christmas

Try these settings:

 

Configure System Frequency/Voltage

AI Overclocking = Manual

CPU Frequency = 400

DRAM Frequency = 800MHz

Performance Mode = Auto

PCI Express Frequency = 100

PCI Clock Synchronization Mode = 33.33

• Memory Voltage = 2.2v
  
  
• CPU Core Voltage = Auto
  
  
• FSB Termination Voltage = Auto
  
  
• MCH Chipset Voltage = Auto
  
  
• ICH Chipset Voltage = Auto
  
  

 

Advanced Chipset Settings

 

Configure DRAM by SPD = Disabled

DRAM CAS# Latency = 3

DRAM RAS# Prechardge = 3

DRAM RAs# to CAS# Delay = 3

DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge: 12

DRAM Write recovery Time = 4

 

Run memtest. This DRAM can give you very tight timings. I personally would use the 1:1 (CPU:DRAM) ratio and run very tight timings.

 

You can raise the timings to 5 - 5 - 5 - 15 and set your DRAM to 889MHz and test with Memtest. Then you can try 1066Mhz and retest. I would not do this as I find that lower (Tighter) timings are better with 1:1 than looser timings with higher DRAM than FSB.

Thanks for coming back to me, I will try these. Can you explain what and how the 1:1 works, or what it refers to, I have seen this in loads of posts but haven't a clue what it is. Also I only have the stock cooling fan will the cpu take an overclock like that?, albeit my case has a big plastic tube that sits above the fan to draw in cool air (Aopen Nouveu)

 

Thanks again
