Having run my new Buffalo ram for a week burning in with 24/7 folding, I took a shot with some higher FSB speeds.

First I added 1/10v to the AGP,chipset and memory then went to 11x213 (2343 MHz). Ran fine passed memtest, prime, 3dmark and an hour of gaming with nfshp2.

Created a system restore point there and said WTF.......11x218 (2401 MHz) and Voila! Just passed all the same benchies plus a half hour of nfshp2. Will game some more tonite to really shake it out but things are lookiin' pretty sweet.

3d Mark 2k1se = 14,104

I'm gonna run it here for maybe 2 weeks to a month and if all goes well, it's gonna be RAID 0 time !!
:+

Me so happy. I guess burn in time can really help.

Nice!

very nice, nicer then your 1700 I almost venture to say, what vid card are you using?(for 3dmark ref)

MSI GF4-ti4400 VTD ( their term for VIVO ) 128MB. Card is not OCed and no cheats were used either. Basically it's a silly OCed rig with the vidcard running stock with some version of Det drivers.

note: Drivers are 4403's (?) that's what it says in display settings and I'm running DirectX 8.1 not 9.

BTW, it looks like thats some good ram you got there

This ram is major league kick a$$ and @ $93 shipped per 512 stick fr newegg, it's a steal. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I bought the sticks a week apart too. It benches slightly higher than the twinmos brand I had in here, when set to same clock and FSB. The Buffalo tho is WAY more receptive to higher FSB speeds.

I think my kidz' pair of 256 twinmos sticks are better than the pair I had. They run 210 FSB without any extra voltage and possibly could run up here @ 218. I'm not touchin' anything here tho for a couple days. I'm superstitious.

You too huh?
I think this tends to happen when you are constintly changing the varibles in a highly overclocked enviroment

Sweet!

I need to get my NF7-S up and kick this system in the rear!
