I_Finland Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Hello. My first real overclocking try and i am happy with the results. X2 4400+ @ 11x244 2684mhz 1.475v My current memory is not probably the best possible oc memory and i was thinking if i buy 500mhz ddr kit. Will i get more mhz out of my prosessor using 1:1 FSB:MEM ratio and do i notice the difference? And which kit to buy? I got about 10500 3dmark05 points while i used 05/06 divider with 250mhz fsb and i got over 11000 when i switched to 1:1 and 244 FSB so divider lowers the performance a bit yes? How much is it safe to put voltages on the processor while running on stock air cooling? The temp sensor show right now 30C but i know its little bit hotter since my real temperature meter says 37C at the heatpipe. Also if someone could recommend good cooler for expert board with 4400+ processor id be happy. Here is link for the 3dmark05 score http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1673315 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahsark1126 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Don't bother with buying more ram. Running on a divider with tight timings is fine. I honestly don't know why everyone is obsessed with running 1:1 because clearly it's not any better than a divider and tight timings. There are tests all over the web, including right here. I actually have the same memory, and if I were you I would bring the timings back to 2-3-2-5 where they are supposed to be and run them at 220, that would get better results. The reason that you got better scores with 244 1:1 than 250 on the divider is that that puts the mem at 208, which is much lower. As far as voltage goes, I wouldn't go over 1.55. You already have a nice rig and a nice Oc, so don't worry too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Finland Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Yes i think you are right, i just got carried away with overclocking. But i still think i will replace the cooler for something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjahman Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I don't even really care much anymore. My x2-4800 runs 24/7 at 2.7 ghz. Prime stable forever and my old OCZ pc-3200 plat. el. whatever tcc5 crap runs great at ddr500. I like the tcc5 better then the pc-4800 "ever so wonderful" tccd stuff. My SI-120 does OK. It seems like the x2 gets wicked hot, even with high-end air. I guess a killer water cooling rig might help. Good Luck Fellow OC'ers! --EJM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjahman Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Whoops gotta change that sig. again. I switch hardware a lot. Sorry. --EJM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjahman Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Anyway, I know it's an x2-4800 but it's close. I updated my sig. with lots of details. I love my x2. I would never wanna go back to my SD3700, even though it was a very fine cpu. --EJM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is link for the 3dmark05 score http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1673315 You have to 'publish' the 3dmark score, else no one can view it. Remember to use the O/C Guide and it will show you how to test your CPU and Memory O/C. The guide will then set the HTT and Dividers to get the most out of your system. I knew very little about overclocking for performance before I came to this site. The overclocking guide (after reading it about 6 times) really opened up my eyes! Have a great day with that motherboard and CPU!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Finland Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 It should be published now, didnt notice it before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
