From stepping C2 chipset intel p965 we awaited for different result. First , the appearance of this stepping on motherboard after 9 September. In second place, increase the memory performance in the asynchronous regime. Finally, support to memory of type DDR 2-800 but only 1 Gb modules. Slower memory can be also used, in 2 Gb . Let us note that the MSI company for its motherboards of series p965 neo got a similar limitation in the capacity of memory of type DDR 2-800 . Does this indicate that all MSI motherboard of series neo p965 are based onP965 stepping C2? Time will show.
i would today report about another advantage which many overclocker would obtain from stepping C2 chipset p965. w speel about a improvement in the overclocking potential. on the pages of xtremeSystems already appeared some note. the first motherboard asus P5B deluxe revision 1.03G stepping C2 fell into the hands of enthusiast.
After using the processor core 2 Extreme x6800 (2.93 GHz) stepping B2, our enthusiast reached the bus frequency of 604 MHz. The previous fixed record was 584 MHz. . in this case the memory work in synchronous regime DDR-1200 it was necessary to use weak timing,and yes even this was single-channel. In the second place,was used processor with higher multiplier but such result he could not get. Thirdly, other copies this motherboard have worse overclocking potential.
Some progress was seen. With interesting observations obtained from the experimenter . He revealed the dependence of the memory peformance with the bus frequency
Note that in the frequencies range of 400-420 MHz the memory performance falls, and the next level show up only after 467 MHz. The author of this experiment recommends avoiding the bus frequency of 360-400 MHz with synchronous memory overclocking,
Let us recall that our own experiments proved benefit from high memory frequencies with conroe, and the synchronous operating mode was acknowledged preferable. Related Products :
