1010 Mhz @5-5-6-18 Corsair Value RAM 667

[techcheat]

Hi guys my quest for 500 FSB was finally over today with achieving 505 FSB. I am posting some pics. The best memory timing I could do was 5-5-6-18 @ 1010 Mhz with 2.3 Volts. Did a SuperPi as well but there was not much gain due to loose timings, but still I finally crossed 500 FSB and probably am the second member on this forum to do so (have more of you done it?). I feel so :clap: specially since this aint no GSkill, this is a Corsair value ram :bleh:

I am attaching the CPUZ validation at 505... needless to say system was not stable at 505 as I was going in for tight timings. I will attempt again soon :clap:

^^ Congrats ! Good Job. Although lesser speed @ tight timings is a better thing to do.

Way to go .. but 5-5-6-18 @ 1010 Mhz will not be better than 5-5-5-15 @944 Mhz

Thanks for the response guys... I know that tighter timings at slightly lower FSB is better than where I am at, but for me it was the psychological barrier that my value memory could go past 1000 mhz

Good going !! But as everyone has already said, you may not really see a performance increase....

Cool! 2.3 Volts. But are running 24*7 or just for benching?? Does it have active cooling?? Coz @ 2.3v cooling is required..

I have a 120 mm fan blowing air right at the RAMs, I have memory coolers on the RAM as well. However this was just for benching at 2.3 Volts.... I generally run the RAM at 1.9 volts when downloading and 2.2v when gaming.
