1200Mhz Ram

[Malatory]

Hey,

 

Been in training all week so I have had little time to do a full search for this.

 

Quick question. Since I have gotten some 1200Mhz Ram to use in my intel mobo is the a Hacked version of bios that will let me clock it up to 1200Mhz or is this a hard physical limit on the board.

 

Yeah .. I am off to search for myself .. but if anyone has a quick answer that would be great.

I'd think it most likely depends on how well your mem controler decides to clock. Might have to volt mod it to get it that high.

 

Just thinking off the top of my head, but the randomness of the mem controler clocking would seem to me to be the real problem with getting that high of a clock speed.

The voltage that is needed is 2.3 or 2.35v. I am going to try it later tonight setting BIOS and then putting in the RAM.

 

realizing its a good chance that I am the 1st to have some of the 9600 RAM

Intelland is not AMD land. Core systems get their best memory performance when RAM is run synchronous to the system bus(atleast according the hipro5[worlds 1st ranked memory overclocker] and the results of pretty much every world record set in performance)

 

Just run it 1:1 low timings, and tweaked sub timings, you'll get higher real world performance that way as intel based boards run best when memory is run synchronously.

 

Or just run the FSB at 400 and use the 800divider for 1200mhz on the RAM, again, see the above.

 

compare/contrast http://xbitlabs.com/images/memory/core2duo...mhz/superpi.png

same timings at higher divider yield worse performance - and this is without tweaked memory subtimings.

 

 

note that this is all done on 400FSB, at 266 FSB the system bus is too much of a bottle neck for RAM frequency to matter a ton.

OK ram runs at 3-3-3-9 @ 800Mhz

SiSoft Bandwidth Test 5675 & Float 5670

OK I may double post here a lot .. but I will use this to get the max out of the Ram.

 

Right now things I have tested.

Postive:

3-3-3-9 @ 800Mhz 1t V2.30 (Best super pi 8m)

3-3-3-7 @ 800Mhz 1t V2.30

3-3-3-6 @ 800Mhz 1t V2.30

 

Negativ's

3-2-2-1 @ 800Mhz 1t V2.30 (Ok had to try it )

all of the 3-2-2-X @ 800Mhz 1t V2.30 = Reset bios

No other ram settings touched right now.

 

Since my current cooler is not up for par for high level OCing (Reviewing a Freeezer 7 Pro)
