OverClocking Ram

[binladenpl]

Hello, i have a question. I took out my samsung stick as its only 133mhz 512mb to overclock my 200mhz 512 stick to 200mhz , i overclocked it and in cpuz it shows 200.5 mhz ,but my pc runs slower than before overclock. Any one got an idea why is that?

[sneekypeet]

does the ram pass memtest 86+?

[binladenpl]

why? i did not test it yet

[binladenpl]

memtest 86+ 2.01 reported "no errors"

anything alse i can try?

[sneekypeet]

that verifies to me the ram is OK thats why I asked you to try it.

Also were both stick running at 133MHz b4 you clocked just the 200MHz one?
It may be the lack of ram making it feel slower. I say run SuperPi !.5 in both configurations to see if it IS slower or just FEELS slower due to lack of ram!

[binladenpl]

they were clocked at 133 obviously, pc wouldnt start if a 133 mhz stick was clocked to 200mhz

lemme try superpi

errr what do you want me to do with SuperPi !.5 ? i dont know what to do ? what you mean both config's?

you have gone from 1gb of ram down to 512mb ram.. if you are running XP then you will notice quite a performance drop, even with the faster DDR...

[DrunkenMafia]

you should try and pick up another 512mb stick of DDR400 ram, they are fairly cheap these days.

its not worth to buy any kind of ram for the comp i have, im waiting a lil bit and will get new one

no worries, but you should be able to pick up a stick for around the 5-10 dollar mark... just for the hell of it.. ;)

sorry It was SuperPi 1.5 and you run a 1M test to see if it is faster running 1X200MHz 512mb (configuration) and then run testing with 2X133MHz 1GB (configuration)

Hope this is more clear!

For gaming I wouldnt trade down to 512mb of ram either!

[binladenpl]

i rather save that 10 dollars and have a 10 dollar difference better cpu :P

[binladenpl]

Well i post my resoults here just incase they get deleted of of superpi

1mb kingston 200.5mhz - 1min .781sec

1mb Samsung and Kingston 133mhz - Resoults comming up shortly

[binladenpl]

idc why but i couldnot edit my post....

ok so samsung + kingston 133mhz 16k before , around 350 now 276

i dont know about 1mb , eighter i wrote it down wrong before or now its longer a lot longer

it shows 57.625

[binladenpl]

Ok i know now. I gained 3.156 seconds. Its quicker 3.156 seconds.

What should i try next to make it faster?
