OC'd my memory, with pictures inside, help

[lawlington]

I have GSKILL 1833mhz ram, 9-10-9-28-2T, I wish I could get 1T somehow, anyways I set my ez-oc to 4.6ghz, and XMP on, then selected 2133 instead of 1866 (which it auto selects when i put on xmp). I just want to make sure that this is correct and if there are any timings I should change, all I did was add 1 to the timings, 10-11-10-(added the 3 to get 31) so 10-11-10-31.

Here is a picture with everything, 4.6ghz oc, 29c core temps.. I want to push this further.

link HERE if you want a direct link.

Thanks

nice - but i bet your rig is noisy as hell

When I look under CPU-Z "memory" or "SPD" tab, im not sure how to calculate what MHZ the ram is at, what numbers do I add/multiply to get the RAM mhz

 

[dugdiamond]

i use BIOS

it is your mem multiplier * fsb

 

[lawlington]

ummmm look at CPU... 29c. RealTemp reads 35c

 

[dugdiamond]

no temperature monitoring software is perfect. RealTemp, (mine)OC3D Hardware Monitor, CoreTemp and HWMonitor will all say something different to one another.

the ideal is to use these apps as a guideline only.

i would use an app that over-exaggerates temps. that way, you will have some leeway

yea so I used core temp, real temp, and in the bios, and AiSuite..... lowest is 28c, highest is ~35c...is all good ?? and should I raise/lower ram timings?

 

[dugdiamond]

what most people do - is get a good OC, and be happy with the achievement they got.... then knock it down a few MHz.

EG: you are not going to see alot of difference between 4.6 and 4.3

the same goes with the ram

the main idea is get an over-average OC, that will not kill the rig over time

well done on the OC... now drop it down a bit

Wait, I know FSB X multi gives me the MHZ of the processor, but i mean how do I figure out what my ram is running at.

CPUZ says DRAM freq is 1066.9 and DRAM:FSB is 1:8, so what do I add/multi to find out the exact OC of the RAM

1066.9 * 2 (dual channel) = 2133

 

[lawlington]

sick wow, so I have 1866 memory running at 2133, should I just select a higher frequency and up the latency? would that be better or does it not matter

 

[dugdiamond]

IMO - leave it
