Awesome, how much did you get yours for?

OCed Q9300 to 3.2 GHz with stock cooling.
CM 690 and CM Elite Series Cabinet.
2x1 GB DDR2 800MHz
Stable @ 1.45V

getting it 4 11.5k.shall get it by next week.cudnt get it 2day cuz trains to Kolkata werent running.:(

Q9300 @ 3.2GHz with a vcore of 1.45v is a bit on the higher side.with that vcore u sud be able to hit 3.6Ghz or a bit more.

My OC's so far in chronological order :D -
AMD FX-55 @ 3ghz on A8N SLi
E6700 @ 3.8ghz
X2 3800+ @ 2.8 ghz on M2N-MX
Q6600 @ 3.8ghz 24/7 on XFX 680i
Q9450 @ 3.6ghz on XFX 780i
E8200 @ 3.5ghz on Biostar TP35D2A7
E8400 @ 4.2ghz on XFX 680i

OCd Q6600 to 3.0Ghz with thermalright ultra 120 extreme on a seriously crappy intel DG33TL mobo with no support for overclocking in the bios...did it via software (setFSB)..stable 24x7 stock Vcore transcend 2GB ddr2 800
Temps
idle=34
load=52
ambient=31
1.45V on stock cooling on a Q9300??!!??...Your temps must be through the roof and the max supported voltage for the Q9300 is 1.3625v...Reduce the Vcore if u don want it 2 fry


ERROR: 1.345, sorry.

Overclocking the budget monsters 8800GT and 9600GT!

Test Bed:
nForce 680i
C2D E8400
2x1GB DDR3 1333MHz
BFG 800W
Vista 32-Bit


Results:

9600GT--
Default clocks - 650 Mhz Core / 1625 MHz Shaders / 1800 MHz GDDR3 memory

Max clocks -
775 Mhz Core / 1977 MHz Shaders / 2300 MHz GDDR3 memory

The game used is Mass Effect-

  • Extreme High Textures
    Anisotropic
    Everything @ Max settings

    Default FPS - 1280x1024 - 45 FPS 1600x1200 - 38 FPS
    OC FPS - 1280x1024 - 73 FPS !!! 1600x1200 - 59 FPS !!!






8800GT--

Default - 600 / 1500 / 2000 clocks (core / shaders / memory)
OC -
764 / 1885 / 2319 (core / shaders / memory)

Game used is Mass Effect with similar settings as before:

1280x1024 1600x1200 1920x1200

Default 71 FPS 57 FPS 47 FPS

OC 86 FPS 72 FPS 64 FPS

from when did the nVidia 680i chipset start supporting DDR3 rams?:confused:


ERROR: 780i sorry

9500GT

Default - 650/1625/800 MHz (core / shaders / memory)

OC -
750/1800/2130 MHz (core / shaders / memory)


Game Used is Mass Effect with all settings maxed out:


1280x1024 1600x1200 1920x1200
Default 22 FPS 19 FPS 17 FPS

OC 25 FPS 21 FPS 19 FPS

As you can see, this is the result of the OC for completely maxed out settings. Expect 40-50 frames with 2x AA and 1280x104 with medium-high variable settings making it superb for it's buy.

^^^i dont think u ran any of the benches u posted cuz if u really had then u wudnt talk such crap.

read this:
nVidia nForce 780i DOES NOT SUPPORT DDR3 RAM.

now dont say that u wanted to mean 790i and not 780i.

Bloody heck then how come I was using the DDR3 1333MHz RAM?
And it was working too!!!!!!!!!!!!
It supports 1200MHZ RAM speed, for all I know maybe it was running the DDR3 RAM @ 1200MHz, is that possible, cause I ran it and I'm pretty much sure what was inside my computer.

hellgate is right there is no way torun ddr3 memory on ddr2 motherboard...if ur still hell bent upon this then post a cpu-z pic here which shows both the mainboard and the memory tab in 2 separate windows side by side ON ur desktop

stop spaming.

theres no 780i mobo which supports DDR3.

Hey friend... i had a doubt.... My old Mobo supports upto 333MHz DDR RAM... And at that time i am not familiar with clock speeds and by mistake i got a DDR400MHz RAM....:D When i insert the stick and start my PC it runs fine...Then after some months i learn a lot abt freq and i shocked to see that my 400MHz RAM ran at 333MHz speed...
If that's working then, why not a DDR3 RAM ran on DDR2 supported Mobo... as the freq is the only difference..(I dont know much abt DDR3.May be the slots are diff...)
Just want to know the details...

Ok you won, let me check the mobo and memory myself. I've been relying on my friend(an idiot on comps trust me) for the specs, where did you expect me to get all those proccs, I don't own a chunk of a multi-national, lolz.


I didn't mean to spam, look I'm not that much an expert on computing but do hope to improve my knowledge, so flaws will be present here and there.

6 months bak I had no Idea what a Core 2 Duo is, I've come a long way since then.

And trust me bro, I wasn't trying to spam, again.

Frequency Missmatch is a different thing, you can have a frequency missmatch and still the RAMs would work (ofcourse on a lower freq of the two) if the Type (or the architecture to be precise) is same. i.e you can have 2 DDR 2 RAMS OR 2 DDR 3 RAMS work at different freq, but not a missmatch between the types again UNLESS the mobo has slot support for both. Generally speaking mobos do not support both DDR 2 and 3 except high end expensive boards.
Correct me if I am wrong people the ASUS P5K series have this combo DIMM slots so P5K boards can support both DDR2 and 3.
