Checking results, am I really as lucky as I feel?

Well, i got back to my oc this morning, and tried a few new settings. Last night I had trouble getting my memory clocked high enough, but things seem fine so far, it has passed multiple rounds of memtest86, full battery as well as over a dozen passes of test #5, super pi 32m stable, and prime95 is on its way into its second hour right now.

 

Here are my current settings:

CPU 335x8=2680mhz

HTT multiplier 3x335=1005x2=DDR2010

vid control 1.5v, special 104%

DRAM voltage 3.2

1t 2225 timings with the ram divider at 7/10 140

memtest reports my RAM speed at DDR670

 

Now, on previous runs, I always ran into trouble with memtest at around DDR500, I could get it stable at DDR450, but going any higher (eg DDR491) I got many errors in memtest. I finally pumped my DRAM voltage to 3.2 after checking OCZ's page and reading a little more about it, changed my divider and here it is, apparently running as stable as I'd like it, decent temps.

 

So, assuming it stays stable at these settings, am I really as lucky as I feel, or are these fairly typical results. do my settings look ok, is there anything else I need to post and share for a complete analysis? Do these settings look ok, am I hurting myself anywhere?

 

Cant wait to hear what you guys think so far...

yeah, it would be if that was actually the speed my RAM was running at. Apparently there is some problem with the 7/10 divider, memtest reads it as 1:1, which is why it was telling me DDR670 (fsb 335x2) my first clu other than the fact that this ram cant run that fast despite my wildest hopes, was that if it was running at fsb (335 * 7)/10 = 234.5 * 2 = DDR 469, which should be attainable with this ram at my voltages, but I dont think it was even running that fast. When I got into windows, cpuz did not display any frequency or FSB:DRAM settings. I dont know just what speed my memory was running at during those tests, but I am not satisfied that they were accurate.

 

I have now changed my settings again, everything seems smooth now, fsb 340*8 for 2720mhz, with the RAM divider at 2/3, so my actual memory speed is 226*2 = DDR452, as reported correctly by memtest and cpuz. Running benchmarks now to see if there is any change in stability or actual speeds.
