What is my actual ram speed? HELP!

BIOS is reporting a speed of 1600mhz. Yeah, I was thinking that since i have XMP Profile enabled that it really must be running correctly. However, I notice that when I changed from my XMP profile to a manual setting of 1600, some of the timings went down by 1? So, I am keeping it at a...

Sorry, forgot to mention that they are 1600 rated kit. So, they are running correctly then?

What do you mean? Looking at the screen shots you're saying that they are running at 1600 like they are supposed to?

What is my actual ram speed? HELP!

What is throwing me off is the "max bandwidth 667" in CPU-Z when I look at each individual RAM. On the memory tab it shows my RAM running at 800mhz, which I know is normal, but yet, when I ran 3dMark11 it says that my ram speed is only 667mhz? I am using 2 Mushkin Enhanced Radioactive 1600mhz 2...

2500k @ 4.5ghz with Vcore @ 1.18

Thanks a lot. So, what I am up to now is I am overclocking all 4 of my cores. I disabled throttling so that my computer will always be at 4.5ghz. So far, temps are higher than they usually are, 10+ degrees higher since I am no longer using an offset, but using a fixed Vcore of 1.3v. Temps...

2500k @ 4.5ghz with Vcore @ 1.18

Yeah, that is what was making me confused. I was using less volts than others, but yet I still had the same temps. I was confused and I thought that CPU-Z must have been reporting it wrong, so that is why I started a thread. It is odd though. Core Temp says one, CPUZ and HWMonitor say...

I do not know what my Vcc is since I did not take down any numbers when running it, because if it failed I was not planning on pushing it any further. As for my max temp, they were in the high 80's if I remember correctly?

Haven't tried. Tried 5ghz and I booted and ran IBT 3 times before it died on me, but I have not tried 55x or higher yet.

lol don't get me wrong. I'm not offended by what they say. I just wanna post some proof so that they can either valid that what I did is right, and I do have a stable system, or so that they can tell me that I did something wrong so I can fix it. Since this is my first time I would like some...

Okay, I have a thread about this over at Tom's Hardware as well and it was closed because I started getting flamed with posts saying that I am lying, and that I am photoshopping my screen shots. Since I cannot post there anymore I wanted to ask you guys what other proof I could provide to...

2500k @ 4.5ghz with Vcore @ 1.18

I do not remember exactly what I set the offset to. I am thinking that I set it to +.5, but I did it in one quick swoop so I cannot say for sure what it was. I'll have to take another look at it sometime this week. Since it did not passed IBT and since the temperatures were already so high...

Here is a little update on my endeavors. I just tried OC'ing to 5ghz and it posted. I upped my offset from -.100 on a 4.5ghz OC to +.5 for the 5 ghz. It posted, and ran three instances of IBT before it blue screened. Here are some information on how IBT went: (I did not take a screen shot...

Wow, Thread is quite popular lol. Sorry, I have been too busy playing Skyrim to work on screen shots and any further overclocking. Since I have a stable system I have just been playing Skyrim instead of pushing it and messing something up. Finals is next week so after that I will try to...

They are quite similar. However, my DRAM Voltage, PCH Voltage, etc. (the last BIOS picture) are all set to auto. I'll write down my exact BIOS settings later. Gotta head to class! Haha! Pretty sure this was a rhetorical question, but I'll answer it anyways. Batch number is: 3134B737

I just bought my chip recently as well. Bought it on Black Friday from Microcenter for $149.99! Thank you to the Microcenter guy who handed me this particular chip! Thank you! lol I have not. I do not have the time right now. I will try and OC it to 5ghz this weekend of possible.

Hello, I am currently running my 2500k @ 4.5ghz. I have it OC with an offset of -.100 which gives me a Vcore of 1.18 when running Prime95. I am cooling it with a H100 (push with stock fans) on medium setting. Temps: Max Load - 56°c, 53°c, 61°c, 61°c Idle - 25°c...
