Hi there all, I realise the subject is a bit weird but I could think of anything else.
I got an Asus A8N32-sli mobo with a AMD athlon 4200+ X2 (socket 939) with 2 gigs of Hynix memory. I started OC'ing the other day and I got the CPU running at 2.64Ghz stable (240mhz HT bus with 11x multiplier) when I lost interest and got more interested in flattening a town in World in Conflict.
Now here's the weird thing, I checked my memory speeds and currently CPU-Z is reporting a frequency of 264Mhz, but Everest reports it running at 240mhz effective clock (120Mhz DDR) Which on do I believe?? Also another thing, Does CPU z report clock or effective clock speed? It it reports just clock then that means my RAM should be running at 528Mhz DDR 8O
Shed some light for me please
Weird memory clocks

Is this thing on?Helloooo?
Yeah I did change it from auto but it has instead of the divider it has speeds( 100mhz, 133mhz and so on) then it like changes, at 250FSB it at 183mhz as an example it uses CPU/12 but at 270 it uses CPU/11 (working on what CPUZ says). Running on 250 FSB on the dot. Guess I just need to brush up on all this stuff again. Been a long time since I've messed with OC'ing.

Re: Re:
I was thinking the same. The timings are REALLY loose, but still. They RARELY make it over 250..Hex_Rated wrote:He must have got really, really, really good Hynix sticks to pull that off.WiK1d wrote:It's 264MHz/DDR528

You mean 3x or 4x instead of 5x, naturally...WiK1d wrote:Well, it's either on Auto, or YOU changed it. But remember, if you go over 250FSB you need to drop your HT Link to 3x instead of 4xCharger14 wrote:He he, true true. Either way I got it sorted now. They both agree and and PC running as it should. Apparently my mobo uses a weird memory divider.
I've seen Hynix do almost 300MHz/DDR600 on 3-4-4-8 24/7 stable, but at those timings on an Athlon64... Your performance is going to suck.WiK1d wrote:I was thinking the same.
