Leaderboards updated

Edited to include leaders in Dual, Triple, and Quad Channel memory configurations

Results have been posted below the leaderboards and I'll add them here as well...

Leader, Dual Channel:

Leader, Quad Channel:
Woomack

Here is a new 4-core (6700K) dual channel sub:




I'm still working on the old C2D/C2Q and P45 chipset DDR3 combo... It has been a "tough slog" trying to run up higher fsb with higher memory speeds (>1800MHz+) with this platform.

My current stable baseline is running on the 333 strap at DDR3-1800C8 (PL7) with 4x1GB sticks (early high voltage micron ic).




Playing around in Windows with Gigabyte's EasyTune6 software... Not really dialed in or stable... This was @PL8:

Here is my 9800x overclocked. Sadly even with the same memory speed/timing it isn't near as fast memory wise as my 7920x:

*Edited to include Leadership in Memory Read, Write and Copy divisions*

Leader, Memory Read:

1900C8...475 fsb; 333 strap: 20:10 ratio; PL7



Edit: Pushed the fsb up a little further using Gigabyte's EasyTune 6 software in Windows (not very stable).

Thanks PolRoger!

It is not an easy proposition. I find it very difficult to run anything below a 400MHz FSB strap on my P45 rig. I have settled for the 3:5 FSB : DRAM ratio and feel like that is the most stable configuration for my Q9650. The law of diminishing returns kicks in once you get over 1600Mhz on the memory clock with the Core 2 Duo. That's why I settled for 10GB/R/W/C speed and called it good. From there, I just worked on memory timings to tighten up my OC. Running 7-7-7-13 @ 1445Mhz (like I said, on the 400Mhz FSB strap). The Asus P5Q3 has lots of options available to help you with memory tuning but I'm finding out most of them do absolutely nothing to improve performance and/or stability.

 

[MaddMutt]

I need to try and tighten my memory for a better score

 

[storm-chaser]

MaddMutt,

That sub puts you in 3rd place in the memory latency division, good job!

*Leaderboards Updated*

 

[custom90gt]

Now if I could just figure out why my writes are SOOOO SLOWWWWWWWWWWW @Woomack help!

 

[storm-chaser]

Leaderboards updated. We have a new champion in the memory bandwidth division!!!

(BIOS design/coding)... VTT voltage settings and GTL Refs for CPU and MCH... also tRead/Perfromance Level (AI Twister on ASUS?). Socket 775 boards with DDR3 were a flash in the pan quickly supplanted by the original core i7 series with IMC. The true meat of Socket 775 development was running lower memory speed DDR2.

Looking now for higher FSB on the 400 strap:

3:4 ratio PL9:


3:4 ratio PL9 pushed up to 590fsb with EasyTune6 in Windows:

Here is my "new" Ryzen 1700x - not super impressive, lol

Leaderboards updated. Looking good custom90gt that puts you ahead of OC-Nighthawk in the bandwidth category. That latency though...

Sadly I haven't had an AMD system for a long time, going to have to fiddle with it a bit to figure out what I am doing, lol. Perhaps it doesn't like 4 sticks...

Nice memory read. I have no idea why write is so low. Hard to say when I can't see BIOS and how it's acting at your settings. There is also one weird thing on this platform. On ASRock I have higher writes but on ASUS and MSI others can make higher read than I do.

Btw. I won't add any new result. For X299 I have only 2 memory sticks which already went on auction. I've ordered a new kit ... first was meh so I've returned it, 2nd one was already after a return and Amazon didn't check it. The kit had 2 "fake" sticks so I had to return it and I wait till I get money back. Not to mention that 2 working sticks couldn't even run at XMP/4000. I already ordered 3rd kit and there will be a delay so I won't touch X299 for next 2 weeks I already sold 2 other kits to cover costs.

Here is my best effort on my Q9650 rig... running the 3:5 ratio on the 400Mhz strap (so the memory speed is more like 1437Mhz)

Sadly I won't be adding any more X299 results either. I picked up a 1700x and MB for super cheap so I'm going to run them until new stuff comes out. I do like this hyperx ram quite a bit though, seems to run well...

Time to get those last minute subs in...

 

[mackerel]

On the results summary I'm listed as having a run at 4500, but my best was 4000.
