Ran a couple 4Ghz runs, memory -100

Impressive stuff! Did you try CL5 at all? I know at least on Haswell it's possible with cold PSC.

  • Some weeks ago I decided to return to AM3 but wasn't sure which board to buy. In 2010-2011 I had good experience with ASUS M4A79T Deluxe, but following Infrared's advice, thought I'd give some Gigabyt

  • RAM walls at 920-940MHz are absolutely normal for Deneb and there is nearly nothing you can do about it. Some newer boards like 990FX can do a dozen MHz more than 790FX but it won't give you a noticea

  • Ran a 5Ghz just once, so would need to test few more things to compare

Hey, no not tried cl5 on am3....I have on other intel platforms, for me cl5 was not faster and was little more stressful. There been all sorts of tricks I've seen over the years cl5 and twcl8, it can look good but not efficient. On haswell I've compared cl6-twcl6 vs cl5-twcl6 at 2800mhz and was very close to the same times

 

next time I have ln2 and run am3 with ln2 memory I try it and post up, never know amd might like it lol

Did some cold memory messing on both Hypers and PSC on Thuban:

I didn't take the CPU cold for the Hypers run as I was running out of LN2 but on PSC I noticed a big IMC degradation from ambient to fullpot - while CPU-NB flies (I passed 5.1 GHz SP1M!), RAM MHz went from 1,100 6-8-6 to more like 1,025 6-8-6. Has anyone else seen this too?

BTW, both of these kits are really bad. I would imagine that more is possible on both ICs but what's the point if stability goes down so much at fullpot? ? Maybe 5-7-5 is the answer on PSC. I am waiting for better copper spreaders, bad heat transfer currently doesn't allow me to go as cold as I want to.

Might try some cold psc soon with thuban, might even try cl5 ?

nice job unityofsaints......always nice to see cold memory and pushing the boundaries of air memory  ?

Some lite Aida64 AM3 memory test, PSC and Hypers.....On Gigabyte UD5....PSC air 1.89v and Hypers air 1.93v.......I think the PSC should come alive when I ln2 them, will post that result next time ln2
