FX-4100
MSI 890FXA-GD65 with latest BIOS to support BD
RipjawsX 2x4GB DDR3-2133 CL9 Kit (F3-17000 blue heatspreaders)
Supposedly the new FX CPU supports 1866 multiplier. Won't work, no matter what the voltage/timing. I can do 1800MHZ CL8 though, and rock solid stable.
The best OC settings I could do for 100% stability are:
HT Reference: 225
CPU: x20 (4500MHZ) 1.46v (and never gets above 40'C under full stress)
CPU-NB x11 (2475MHZ) 1.26v
HTLink x12 (2700MHZ)
RAM is using the x800 divider for total 1800MHZ, 1.65v.
Using XMP timings except tightened by 1 after I found my maximum frequency.
It could be my motherboard holding me back. New FX CPU was supposed to have better IMC, but all of my tests have shown worse bandwidth and latency compared to AM3 chips at equivalent memory speed. Also the CPU-NB just won't clock as high.
I don't mind raising voltages substantially on my CPU/mobo if you have any suggestions. My system has excellent cooling and fully loaded temperatures are quite cool. I'm ready to juice this rig
How much can I raise RAM voltage and still be under warranty? I wouldn't mind trying to push 1.75v though them.
Also, why does my kit have a green PCB? Your picture, as well as newegg's, and bjorn3d all show a black PCB just like on my Snipers.
Can I remove my heat spreader without voiding the warranty? I want to put a low profile, copper heat spreader to allow a better fit and more airflow under my Hyper212+.
I have owned many G.Skill RAM kits, and in my opinion, they are always binned very tight, always working at advertised speeds, but with little extra headroom.
Thanks for the stickers you sent me a few months ago.
