The official HWBOT DDR3 High-Clock Challenge thread.

[Calathea]

Should be fun, I guess this will be the first time benching subzero ram for many overclockers out there (including me)

[Massman]

I think most stages are doable on air cooling, but ... it's not going to be easy if you want low timings for ultimate performance

[M.Beier]

Lower timings isnt beating higher uncore.... But for the looks of it I still want to give it a shot

[xxbassplayerxx]

Well... I have the memory...

 

But not the IMC

 

Anyone going to be having fun with this?

[Quake]

When it ends?

[El Gappo]

Not sure I can handly it

Dominator GT area

[Redwoodz]

No love for Athlons

[xxbassplayerxx]

Since SB is dropping in early January, any chance of them being added to the competition?

 

I remember the rumors about 2400 being cake on memory!

[Massman]

Dominator GT area

 

Hyper, PSC, D9GTR (Thuban), ... plenty of choice!

Yeap!

 

First I have to verify the overclocking capabilities of the SNB, though.

Awesome. I'm definitely going to be trying it out and hopefully it'll set my Hypers free!

[SSA]

Cannot imagine how much I love to compete and regret I can't

 

Good Luck everybody .very very nice contest .

[nolonger]

Awesome, I have two memory kits to try on my Clarkdale. I got a set of PSC and Hypers, should be fun.

[MaJ0r]

Good competition! I think not only Dominator GT(GTX. etc) will be able to show us the magic

[Quake]

And when it ends? I need to know till when we can submit scores

[Christian Ney]

It ends the 28th of february

[Don_Dan]

Any chance you can add S775 to the competition as well? Pleeeeeeeease...

 

And maybe make MemSet mandatory for this competition as well.

[Massman]

Good idea x 2!

 

Based on this score, I've set the LGA775 memory limit to DDR3-2100. Therefor, I'm expecting 550FSB 1:2 runs (or maybe 660 5:6 haha).

 

Will add memset/cpu-tweaker to limitation list!

[El Gappo]

AM2+ category?

Thuban and Deneb

[El Gappo]

Might have a go at the deneb one, not got a board for anything else.

Thanks PJ!

 

1050MHz seems like a good limit indeed!

[SSA]

what about 775 DDR2 ?

 

1300 is ok ?

Any chance for P45/X48? Only two combinations will work - 643х7 (1070 mem) and 562х8 (1125 mem). Or someone will try 692х6.5 with 5:8 divider?

There is no 6.5 multi afaik.

And there is another combination that will work, but currently I don't worry about maxing out the CPU max frequency too much, at first we have to get our memory up to speed.
