My config is
Intel 2.4Cghz (800fsb)
asus P4P800 Deluxe
2x256 Corsair XMS3700 TWINX (dual channel mode)
I set my 2.4C to a 3.0 DDR500 1:1 Ratio setting. Prime95 runs fine for hours, but occasionally the machine fails to boot. When I touch the RAM, its slightly hotter than my cpu heatsink on full load! It's not to a degree that I get heat burn on my fingers, but its really hot.
The rams are overclocked to PC4000. Is this good for the ram or should i slow it down? running 2.6V i think.. should I crank that up? Running 3-4-4-8 timing as default, won't boot if I tighten it.
Also, I notice that if I run at (3.0ghz) DDR500 1:1 ratio, sisandra benchmark shows 69% efficiency at 5.5gb/s. If I run at DDR333 at (3.13ghz), benchmark shows 81% efficiency at 4.8gb/s. Does it mean my cpu can't keep up with the memory? If so, does that mean I am not getting any performance gain out of overclocking the ram? Tune to 5:4 ratio?
