Mushkin 8gb @ 540mhz\DDR1080

[mgoode]

I just got these sticks 4x2gb and just started playing around. 8gb is really stressing the board's memeory controller. I can get each set to 575\DDR1150
but with both sets installed the board wont boot at 550\ddr1100 at the same volts. Also they cost so much I am scared to really give them some volts. :)


Anyway this is where I got them so far @ 2.25 volts in the bios, memtested all night and superPi32 stable:

Very impressive. :beer:

8gb of ram and a quad core? I hate you. Joking, very nice.

Thanks, I just downloaded memset3.3 beta2 which works with the P35 chipset so now to do some tweaking.

Yeah, I've been considering getting 8gb ram... very costly, but I'm sure vista + oblivion will love it... But that system of yours is amazing... I do hope you get enough gaming in on it and not just overclocking...

[mgoode]

Overclocking, gaming, C# and Java development(I work in a hybird shop)
plus SQl2005 which eats up 2.5 gig just starting up.

Man thats just ridiculous! Nice job and congrats!

Okay I got them up to 562.5 this morning by upping the voltage to 2.4.

[Sam__]

lord thats a lot of volts.....u got gd cooling on them?

[mgoode]

Yes two 80mm fans blowing on them. I am really not comfortable running them any higher than 2.25 so thats where I will run them 24/7. I just wanted to see if they had some more in them:)

I would say in that case stick it into the highest voltage it would go, but I know if the ram fries your screwed. That stuff is anything but cheap. And sucky. Nice job.

[Eldonko]

Heh heh, now that is kick ass. :D

[dudleycpa]

I'm jealous...that's so impressive.:mad:

[kiltz]

my supertalent is rated to run at 2.2volts, i can pump it up to 2.3-2.4 safely but it does get hot to the touch.

[White_Pawn]

all you need is to put that memory in quad-channel. :drool:

How small is your page file? I'll bet you never even really use it...

[Albaholic]

:drool: how much did that set you back?

[mgoode]

:drool: how much did that set you back?

I believe 8GB will be efficient for quite a while. Currently 2GB is the sweet spot and enthusiasts, 4GB is the spot. 8GB will not be bothering you for QUITE some time!

Great results :beer:

[One Bull]

Wow that's just awsome! :drool:

What kind of memorybandwith are you getting at those settings with 8gig?

[bing]
