You tried just loosening the timings on the mem to get 1800+ and keep 4.6+ GHz?

Yea, I did that..I always lock on the last test ...I did run 5.75 and dropped the timings to 9-9-9-24 @ 1834 and completed but just a little bit of improvement 18,077...
I'm sure it's me..Probably the CPU or QPI volts...I am still greennish..!!!

I didn't think the GPU would make much difference with PCMark stuff but i ran the same set-up with a 4870x2 and couldn't get over 16,800 so it must count....

Still can't believe I haven't blown something up but there is still time!!!
You do keep HT enabled right???

I keep HT enabled. What are your subtimings on the RAM and what is your QPI/Dram volts. Also, what type of Core temps are you getting on the CPU this may also affect the IMC.

I am running my 1600Mhz Gskill's at 1914Mhz 9-9-9-24-1N tRFC 72 tRRD 6. I am also runing 2V to the Ram instead of the rated 1.65V.

HT enabled or not depends on the test.

For 05,06, Vantage definitely enabled... pretty sure same goes for 03. 01 and AM# disabled though.

Wprime and PCMark enabled, all other 2D benches disabled.

Pretty close Nuero. This is how I run em.
HT on= wprime's, pcmark, 06 and Vantage
HT off=AQM3, 01, 03, 05, SPi's, pifast, CPUZ

Yep, that is how i run them..3D 03, 05 and aqua give no better score with HT on. Actually Aqua needs to have an affinity adjustment to score large..If anything I can't keep the CPU speed up as easy and it doesn't help any...06 and vantage needs the HT...

I just wasn't sure about PCMark...As far as my temps I stay in the mid 60's running 4.575 on the highest core....Running PCMark05
I have never been over 1.80 on the vdimm...(paranoid)
Goat mentioned once that if I run a lower ram speed like with 3D03 at 4.650 lets say 1400ish I didn't need as much vdimm...I think he is right because when i drop the ram speed to run a higher clock for 03..1.68-1.72 works fine...

also to answer 2C's question I run about 1.54 QPI for 4.575....I have had it up to 1.58 for 4.650..Not sure if that is risky but the QPI voltage increase really helps when turning up the CPU..Thanks to 69_goat for that tip..
I have learned alot at this site....Still have a long ways to go....Great Forum...Good People!!!!
