i feel the ram could be quciker ??
i got 4gn ocz reaper pc 6400

it is 360.0 mhz
1:1 fsb:dram
5
6
8
18
command rate 2t

how do i clock the ram more or shouldnt i ??

just feel it should be faster? ( the pc )

Its not a bad overclock, i mean not as high as some. I have my E4500 at 3.3ghz for comparison a 50% overclock.

[wazi]

i had it up to 3.4ghz but a tad unstable
wot bout my ram speed and timings ??

[mac124]

You should be able to run that memory at 400mhz minimum, probably a lot faster, i run mine at 480mhz and i know people who run it at 1000+, your may or may not reach these speeds.



Regarding your cpu what voltage are you running it at and what are the load temps in core temp / everest / similar?

[Blaineoliver]

I have my reaperX at 1000 with 5-5-5-15 timings, i could push it much further honestly.

You should be able to use a different FSB : DRAM ratio to boost your memory, and as the others have said, 5-5-5-15 at PC6400 (400MHz) is what it's rated to do.

Have you used Orthos to stability test yet, and as 'mac124' asked, what are your temperatures like?

Note: My E6600's at 3GHz and I find it plently fast enough.

[wazi]

temps is 45c standard and with orthos 2006 ( dual core stress) i have cpu 60-65c
core 1 54-57c core 2 54-57c
system temp 29c
im using artic cooler pro
and artic ceramique
plus 2x90 case fans and one 120 exhaust

just pushed the ram to 450 now thats better

[PwnDirect]

what cooling you using? idle load temps? 100% stable?

[wazi]

artic pro
idle temps 45c
under load 67c
how long do you run orthos ?? my machine is on all day any way downloading encodiing etc...
i ran orthos on blend/gromacs etc for lil while and no probs

[mac124]

Entirely up to you, though some say 8 hours others say 24, how long is a little while?

[NightshadowUK]

I usually go for 12 hours but have had it fail 18 hours in.

What voltages are you running btw?

[wazi]

i just changed the setting of ddr2 to 1080 and it shot up to 540mhz !!!!
i ran for half an hour by the way
and i havent touched votages

[mac124]

Well if you are happy enough to call 30 mins stable then thats all that really matters, at the end of the day its your pc does it do what you want / need it to without crashing? Personally i'd give it a good thrashing playing your current favourite game for a good hour or two at least if not then run orthos when you go out for a few hours. Personally im from the "it does what i want for as long as i want ergo its stable enough for me" school of thinking, but that is just my opinion.
