Thats pretty decent for a 6400 really (assuming it is a 6400?) you might well be running out of mobo rather than CPU voltage tbh. 512 FSB is pretty good for the P5N :)
Wouldn't worry too much mate. For a few quid (depending on who you goto) you should be able to get any problems sorted long after the official warranty has expired. The price you paid for that unit was great tbh, performance (assuming the probe reads correctly) is well up there for 1/2 the...
Have had no problems with P5B Vanilla (so would assume the rest of the P5B series would also be ok) or the AB9. Both i965 boards.
Can't remember if I tested on the P5N (Nforce 650) but if I did then it worked.
That is of course assuming the CPU actually makes it to 400FSB.
Most of the quad's on various boards seem to be heavily FSB limited for whatever reason. The only boards which seem capable of pushing higher FSB's are the 965 based boards, with the P5B looking to be the cream of the crop.
The...
Winrar favours lower latency over higher bandwidth. ie Tighter timings over more FSB.
Not sure what b/w that program is measuring but it sure as hell isn't the "normal" measure for memory. DDR2 is pushing ~ 10 Gb/s atm (heavily clocked DDR2 at that), try a test such as everest or sandra and see...
No, memory speed you get what you set :)
These speeds are multiple loops of 01/03/05/06/AM3 stable. I've not gamed at these speeds, so they might not be rock solid.
Make: BFG OC
Model: 8800 GTS 320
Core Speed/Mem Speed: 648/1860 (930 non DDR)
O/C Software: Rivatuner
O/S: Windows XP...
This little table is of use when working out clockspeeds.
There's quite a few steps (these are also present on the GTS) when pushing core clocks. The clockspeed you set isn't always the one you get.
Assuming you only want stable results (and how stable is stable?)
8800GTS 320 is probably the best bet. GTS 640 might give you a bit more futureproofing as game texture sizes increase etc but the 320 should be plenty tbh.
No.
Either add another 8800GTX for SLI that way, or another 8800GTS for SLI. Performance increase will be more noticable and the cost (certainly in the case of GTS SLI) might not be that much greater than the upgrade to 8900.
Core2 E6600 @ 4.2ghz bottlenecks a 8800GTX to an extent, 3.2ghz is certainly going to be a bottleneck.
K404 did a good round up in this thread, worth reading over :)
The only time you'll see a GFX bottleneck (ie where a faster CPU yields a smaller gain than increased GPU clocks) is when you're running a 3d intensive app @ High res with high AA/AF. I'm still CPU limited with GTX @ 641/1044 with the Core2 @ 4.23ghz. (ie more CPU speed yields a bigger...
