I want to make sure that since I spent all that money on this RAM, that I am using it to its fullest capabilities.

so should I run a FSB of 1600 with memory at 400 then (3.0ghz with RAM at 800mhz)?
I am new to the over clocking game. I had no idea how much higher you could go with these Intel core 2 duos. Any information is appreciated.
By the way, how high can I go on stock cooling. When running PCMark, the highest I got it to go was 47C at 2700mhz? What is the limit for heat (with regards to stability and longevity of the chip)?
Also, on a side note, i could not view my PCMark or 3DMark results online... what gives?

could you show a pic for u MoBo with the Artic Freezer Pro 7 installed? what thermal paste are u using? how are you cooling the chipset??
thanks

Ok thx.. ill give him a call tomorrow and make him see the rev
Nope only corsair and only asus board hehe.. a small store in hardware
Tell him to give you a deal on the Corsair PC8500C5. With those you'll be good for a while. You can always call Corsair and complain they might cut you a deal on an exchange

Where are the rest of your settings in your Signature??? We have strict rules about that.

You can set your memory up to speed. You set it Unlinked FSB speed Memory Speed 800
Example Unlinked 1200/800 9x300 =2700

Hello Mr..C2D
look at my signature
now am i into the rules??
Where i can see in Bios, if my memory kit is running in dual channel or single? i am not sure yet :s
Another n00b question: where i can test if my Memory are able to OCing in my signature's system?

I am using MX1 as Core2 suggested.
You can use either the HR-05 or HR-05 SLI (sits offset). Both can be used with a fan to keep the temps down.
Even though I can get to 3900, does not mean it is stable. Although I can get SuperPi to run, I can not get ORTHOS to run longer than 5 seconds. I believe it to be my memory (cheap ass mid range memory). So I ordered some Crucial Ballistics (micron chips) to see if I can stabalize it more. Also not that the memory is at 800 with a FSB of 1950 (1962 is the max I can get).
Also: FOR ANYONE WITH CORSAIR MEMORY: I have run into a problem of disappearing lables as seen in the picture below.
Disappearing Lables
Has anyone else run into this problem? If I can not get Corsair to issue a RMA to replace this memory, I am stuck with piss-ass memory (Aeneon) chips that I won't even be able to sell as Corsair. Has anyone else had a problem with the Heat Shields comming off? One side of one stick (heat shield) has come off and I can not get it to stick back on (and no I did not remove it, it just fell off). Been waiting on Corsair for 6 days now.
Thanks

This is from Cosairs Site Corsair DDR2 Chart
Make a post directly with Ram Guy at Corsairs Site Look at his Signature it has a link for bad parts
Edit: I see you like to use Zip ties too

Well, it has changed since the last time I asked. I was told by the RAM Guy that they were Aeneon chips and not QIMONDA (whatever they are????) Guess I need to GOOGLE to see what I can find on these chips. Good, Bad, Ugly, Paperweights?????

the temperature monitors like asus probe are inferior to core temp - usually the difference is 5-9 degrees C which is quite a bit.
but check out intels thermal analysis tool. it gives you the proper reading and it is the most likely to be compatible with vista already.

Don't feel bad I have a few too. Actually I could get mine to 900MHz
The 8500C5 are great and they use the Micron D9GMH (B6-3) chip. I wish I had checked the price of the 8500CD Dominator's they were only 10.00 more.

Just an update on a few things I have done. Last night for the heck of it I put my new ram PC8500C5 DDR2 1066 in the yellow slots I had been running them in the black slots thinking I would have the best performance there. The best I was doing was 1020 -1030MHz and 1040 would crash. After changing them to the yellow slots I can easily run 1066MHz on Auto or manual in the bios. Temps and voltages were lower across the board too. Now, I have always been able to use the yellow slots from day one and have had all four slots filled ( 512x4 ) till I received this new ram ( 1024x2 ) so this my not apply to you. I am just wondering if any one else has switched back to the yellow slots since upgrading to 0401. There seems there could be a little better voltage control or a remedy to this yellow slot syndrome.
Update: SLI Memory Option in the bios For all of you lucky enough to have SLI Certified Memory its worth giving it a try. The bios will read the information on the chip and will set your ram to run at its optimal performance. I said the other day that if you choose to enable this you would not have full control of the FSB and Memory speed. I was wrong ( I am learning this too. )all you have to do is select EXPERT in that option and you can change settings as you please. Experiment with full auto and manual settings for your ram and let me know if this improves performance
