Next step on my clock?

OK you are at 960 on the memory...

can you set the STRAP to 400 and memory to 1066 and run?

you may not be able to on the Q66 and thats where that new proc is going to shine... you will get 1066 @ 333 STRAP and 450 MHz with a CPU chugging 4050

my calcs show at 400 STRAP the memory should have 1066 available -but- will be forced to run tRD5 and it probably wont boot or be stable but try it

400 gives me 1066 available. Booted with no problem - running OCCT as we speak - temps still same

download and install this

http://www.tweakers.fr/memset.html

may ask for a reboot.. dont remember.. if so, do as it commands


once ready, fire it up and post the readout

if my guess is right and the moon and the stars line up with the numbers.. your just entering the FSX zone which is the best you are going to do on DDR2 and the Q6600 with the memory you are running


with that Q9650 you are actually 'in' the FSX zone

it may be possible to squeak just a tad more out of the system as is but I need to see the memset readout and the benchmark


its way late here so if I dont pst back its because I had to hang it up for the night but will be back tomorrow morning to check in

Rgr wilco. ANother 12 minutes and OCCT will have been ok for 1/2 hour.

OK I will wait

your do'in sweet... much easier than that nvidia board

[vgbaron]

Here they are -

[NickN]

OK

here is the final tuning part and it may not work


In MemSET the setting at the bottom tREF (Refresh Period) in the dropdown, set it to the HIGHEST T value... thats the highest number with a T at the end...


Next... PERFORMANCE LEVEL...

[vgbaron]

ok will give it a go and post tomorrow. Appreciate you're staying up!

THanx!

actually didn't lock so willpost the Everest in a sec

[vgbaron]

so far so good!

kewl

I figured it should be running PL6 with the right memory but I dont think that memory will do it.. the chips are not rated for it.. but you know... anything is possible.

memory manufactures are always substituting the better chips on runs where they are running short of the cheaper components so it is possible they may run PL 6


EDIT

[vgbaron]

Thanx! Good night!

[NickN]

you are welcome

its not often I get to work with someone who 'gets it' so I dont mind spending the time to get you tweaked

good-night  :)
