questions about my overclock

[madhatR]

hey guys .. i really never pushed my ram or anything since i have had them .. got my new psu and just started messing around ..

2x512 gksill LE

right now im running 8x300 1:1 3xhtt timings are 2.5-4-4-7-7-256 that is what it displays in cpu-z ..

are my timings pretty weak ? i got a new motherboard and its driving me insane

im only getting around 7100 or a bit more in sandra for mem bandwith ..

anyone care to give me some advice ?

Your sandra bandwith seems to be about right for your clocks. With LE's you should be able to run 300MHz with 2.5-3-3-7 but since you have Winnie that won't be the case unless you got one of the better steppings, but it mainly goes to around 2.6GHz. I would suggest that you first test your CPU limit with burn in technique and after you figure that out then tighten up your timings and try to run with 1:1 ratio if you can. I'm running with 1:1/290x9 with 2.5-4-4-8 and getting around 7500 in sandra, but with your RAM you should be able to do it with tighter timings and get more bandwith.

yeah i guess when i get some money ill sell this winnie and get like a 3000 or 3200+ venice

well i havent really tried to raise the vcore .. highest i went was like 1.45 or something .. adn 2.9 on the mem voltage .. i guess ill try raising the vcore up to around 1.55 or higher and see what she will do

yea ive been messing around with my overclock .. nothing is stable .. 8x300 before was no problem .. and then next time i reboot .. nothing ... ive had nothing but problems trying to overlock with this amd .. intel was easy .. this winnie sucks
