Is there a point where you can drop the multiplier too far? I've found that a good way to test memory (in the past), has been to drop the multiplier a good way, then up the fsb... I'm begining to question that a little...
For instance, i have some tccd, that i tested up to 330 on a 4x multi, without issue. But on a 6x multi, i couldn't hit 300. (3000+ winchester paired with asus a8n-sli deluxe board...)(tested with superPi 32m, memtest86+ from bootable cd, futuremark suite)
Now I'm testing some ch-5 hyperX stuff on my dfi expert...I'm having trouble making 230 stable on a 11x multi, but dropping it off to 4x and i'm at 240 so far, and am continuing to test. No errors so far at 250... (testing with memtest86+ onboard; primarily tests 5, 7) (running 2 3 2 8 12 14 3 3 1T [i can provide full memory timings if needed] @ 2.92v and stock vcore)
The reason i'm asking, is i was under the impression that 240 was about the top end for ch-5...but i seem to be pushing beyond that...
[edit: 260...]
[edit: now testing 270...running all memtest86+ still 2.92v and stock vcore]
[edit: errors @ 270 only a few seconds in to testing...no errors on 1-6]
[edit: dropping to 260 and rerunning all memtest86+ same v and vcore]
[edit: 260 ran without errors 2x through all tests]
[edit: 230 not possible on 9x at current timings, 2.92-3.01v and up to 1.5vc]
[edit: 220 fails 11x 2.92v and stock-1.45vc]
Meh OK...it should be able to do 220...I must have a timing off or something...
