Barton setup

[[sAn]Assasin]

Got me new Barton 2500 (AQXDA).. 2323 mhz so far @ 1.775 Vcore and 11.5 x 202 fsb

Specs for the rig are as follows:

Abit Nf7-s Ver 2.0
Barton 2500+
Corsair pc3500 1x512
Thermalright AX-7 @ Smart Fan 2 (49c @ Full Load[25c room temp])

Questions..
This memory is brand new, i was running exactly the same specs with my std 2700 ram, wont go over 202fsb, Why? or should i not bother going for more?

I have only messed with the multiplyer (11.5 seems max) and fsb, any thoughts on the settings for the memory now i have some decent stuff? i have done nothing with it at all except set it to CAS2.

All voltages are stock apart from the vcore, where do i go from here?.

All i did was up the fsb then the muliti and the vcore.. and got a good result.. well i think so... so whats next please?


And and thoughts on my temps?

Many thanks..

[Socket eh?]

See if it works with cas 2.5.

I hit the wall at about the point as you, with similar components.
I built this system about 2 weeks ago and have since been able to lower my vcore to 1.725 from 1.775. Gonna try lower tonight and see if it's stable. The best stable speed I achieved was 207x11.5.

One thought, have you tried increasing the vdimm voltage? I have mine running at 2.8V.

It does work at cas 2.5... but i dropped it thinking it would be better? as this is cas2 ram..?


Will try upping the voltage on the memory...

Post later on with the results..

im kinda curiouse, but what is cas 2.5?

[Mustanley]

CAS Latency is a number that refers to the ratio between column access time and the clock cycle time. It is derived from dividing the column access time by the clock frequency. This formula is:

CL >= tCAC / tCLK

Where:
CL is CAS Latency.
tCAC is Column Access Time.
tCLK is Length of Clock Cycle.

I pulled this from http://www.sysopt.com/articles/latency/
there is more info on this topic if you want to follow that link.
