Thanks, was the hardest one through this bench session. No idea why pifast turned out to be more stable than 1m this time.

Great review, also waiting one piece. Do you have a chance to measure ripple at high load (i.e. 1.8v 20A)?

PSCheck next time?

Я заказывал "пальцем в небо" с ALI, с зеленым проводом, достаточно точно показывают. Конкретно эта, кажется, из комплекта к какому-то термометру fluke. No, the only sempron I have. It did 485 bclk on SS with this ddr2 setup, but I wasn't able to go over 355mhz on C5F with it.

Yes, no go. Same limit with m2n32 before (I thought it was motherboard limiting me).

I like it being just pretesting:)

Strong one!

Great score!

Правильно указать объем надо - 16348, а не 16384.

Woot!

32m alone is not really telling on stability. The tighter you go, more surprises you get - and sometimes you need to go back and revalidate stability of previously adjusted timing you thought is stable as the timing you are adjusting now is affecting in as co-dependence. I was using multithreaded tests (hyperpi, hci memtest) as it gives better idea of stability.

Strong!

Well done Nik!

Another socket WR!

Well done!

What a board, great result.

Not always that, sad but true.

Это прекрасно)

Great score!

Make it validate 300mhz it it will go quickly:)

Intel SkullTrail was another option for 2008 dream machine:)

Vdimm and Vtt difference should be no more than 0.4-0.5v as far as I know - higher difference will kill cpu. I heard of people pushing 2.0v into RAM without bad consequences following that rule. I'm talking of nehalem - no such issue with 775.

D9GTR (CSX Diablo 2000 for example) was doing great, from 1600 6-5-5 till 2000 7-6-5 - these were not popular with Nehalem because of high vdimm requirements that was killing IMC until <0.5v difference rule was worked out. Hypers have appeared in late 2008 btw.

Removed them to help insulation and check how it affects OC. Result is it helps insulation and no effect on OC. Slots 1+3 are way worse with this sample, also very big drop in stability if all 4 slots were occupied - so no sense to have it anyway.

It was pretty strong kit (2666c8 tight air, 2850c6 tight LN2) so I agree it should be temperature limited even with SS. In the end, even below average kit of hypers is better than LN2 psc in x48 imho.
