Hey guys,

Wanted to find my limit of my memory so off i went into BIOS, set my CPU multi to 4x and started upping my HT. Details (besides just what the gear is... which is in the sig)
timings 3-4-4-8
memV 2.5V

Anyway, i was going damn well, it was scarey, and i hit a point of disbelief (literally, i didn't believe this was accurate)... i hit 300MHz and still going strong. this is NUTS, can't be right... and i was.

I decided to bring the multi up to 8 (which brings my CPu up to 2.4GHz, which is lower than it always has been... still higher than stock which is 2.2)... and wouldn't post. so i start bringing the HT down, first slowly and then in leaps and bounds, until i was back to 250 again as memtest wouldn't let me do anything... but what was confusing is that memtest didn't show a SINGLE problem with the memory over a 3 day period all the way up to 300 (stopped there as like i said, didn't believe what was happening), until i brought the multi up. so someone give me a leg up as to what happened?

please?

IIRC it's know that lower multis <6x don't give accurate real clock of how high your HTT is .. well if my memory serves me correctly

Stick with multipliers 6x and above for testing max HTT/Memory 1:1

rightio, so if i set it to 6x when testing for my memory ceiling i'll get accurate failures instead of wailing successes? thanks i'll check it

Yeah it should but been ages since i touched AMD.. might be listed in my guide can't remember http://i4memory.com/f32/announcement-a.html hehe
