680i folks tighten those sub timings for 975x chipset like p

Post by eva2000 »

System:
  • Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 L627A872 B2 Step 6
  • Swiftech Apogee/Radiical Triple Fan Single Pass Rad/MCP655 + Kayl 100W Custom PSU
  • Asus 680i Striker Extreme 0402 bios
  • 128MB Gainward FX5200 PCI card
  • 2GB OCZ PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2
  • 4x80GB Hitachi 7K80 SATAII Raid 0 on SATA3 to SATA6 ports
  • Pioneer DVD Burner
  • 600W OCZ EvoStream
560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T 3-1-3-6-34 at 2.5v vdimm

Yup tight ass main and sub timings on Asus 680i Striker really do make a huge difference. Who would of thought I could pull off sub 13min 30s Super Pi 32M times at 3600mhz with a 680i chipset motherboard without even clocking memory above 560mhz (DDR2-1120) speeds!

Jumped all the way to 560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T with sub timings of 3-1-3-6-34 at 2.5v vdimm bios set. According to memtest86+ v1.70, reported bandwidth at 560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T was 5413MB/s versus at 533mhz 4-3-3-4 2T of 5209MB/s.

Final result = 13m 28s 391ms

Re-ran 32M but with cpuz and memset windows closed = 13m 27s 719ms !

1M time = 13.922s

All I can say is bloody fast for 680i chipset considering 32M time at 3600mhz is pretty much right up there with 975x chipset as far as i can see

Managed to clock ram up to 600mhz 5-3-3-3 2T but with even further tighten the sub timings even more but had to loosen CAS from 4 to 5 in order to keep vdimm at 2.5v bios set ceiling (within OCZ warrantied max vdimm of 2.52v) :)

Memtest86+ v1.70 reported bandwidth
  • @533mhz 4-3-3-4 2T 3-1-3-6-30 at 2.35v vdimm = 5,209MB/s
  • @560mhz 4-3-3-4 2T 3-1-3-6-34 at 2.5v vdimm = 5,413MB/s
  • @600mhz 5-3-3-3 2T 2-1-2-8-24 at 2.5v vdimm = 5,625MB/s
600mhz 5-3-3-3 2T 2-1-2-8-24 at 2.5v vdimm

That's fastest I've managed to run Super Pi 32M at 3600mhz cpu speeds on any core2 platform to date (including Asus P5B Deluxe/P5W DH, Intel D975XBX, DFI ICFX3200) !
