Delayed_Reflex Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hey, I have recently just built a new gaming system, but find I am not seeing the performance I should be, Due to RAM or so I think. My system is Gigabyte 8ik1100(Rev 2.) 3.2 Intel HT 800fsb 1024 TwinX Platinum XMS pc3200(3200C2PT) Radeon 9800 PRO 128 meg Audigy 2 120 Gig Baracuda SATA In X-SuperAlien Case with 420W PS.. Now Im seeing benchmarks of 5800ish(3dmarks2003) and this is after ive done tweaks, pagefile, windows updates ect. In sandra my memory is getting like 4500mb/s... My buddy is getting 8000mb/s with Kingston HyperX which was cheaper then mine.. Any ideas? Thanks a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your buddy is giving you a different reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayed_Reflex Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 Im having some trouble overclocking. Im an overclocking newb I guess you could say. I have my cpu at 210X16=3.3ghz instead of the 200X16 its supposed to be.. It boots fine, but will crash a program or randomly restart as im Gaming or benchmarking? This sound cpu or ram related? My ram temperature is only at like 40, or maybe a voltage problem? Ive tryed numourous combos of voltages for both cpu and dimm. cant make it stable. ne ideas?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 12, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 12, 2004 I do not think you will be able to over clock this MB. I have tested several Giga Byte MB's based on I875 chipset and none of them will O.C. more than 4-5 MHz no matter what memory you use. However, I would make sure the timings are set to By SPD and set the Dim Voltage to +.2 volts and see if that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
