Ram over 800Mhz?

m a bit confused by my ram speed...does this mean my ram is running at 824Mhz? it cant be...i do have 2 sticks of 800mhz ram and the other two are 667mhz,my ram voltage is set to auto i think.

what.jpg
 
hmmmm yeah shouldnt they all be running at 667 then? hmmm..
so maybe you've overclocked them a fair bit?
 
well yeah i thought that,the funny thing is though i havnt changed any memory settings,They must have changed when i overclocked my cpu automaticly because they are set to auto .



its still at stock voltage aswell.... 1.8 Volts

hmmm well thats good then :)

sorry to hijack threads :D but what does dual channel interleaved mean. ive read a few things about it. still dont understand... is it better then just having symmetrical dual channel?

im not quite sure tbh...sorry.

btw guys im confused by memory timings...are mine bad or what?

im still learning :D

i done a memory write benchmark in everest and these are the results

Your timings are fine. DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4 is fairly common but since you are running DDR2-667 @ ~825MHz (330MHz * 2.5 ---- 266.6MHz * 2.5 = 667)

Dual channel interleaved is dual channel symmetric.

Intel said:
Single-Channel
The system will enter single-channel mode when only one channel of memory is routed on the motherboard, or if two-channels of memory are routed, but only one channel is populated. In this configuration, all memory cycles are directed to a single channel.

Dual-Channel Asymmetric
This mode is entered when both memory channels are routed and populated with different amounts (MB) of total memory. This configuration allows addresses to be accessed in series across the channels starting in channel A until the end of its highest rank, then continue from the bottom of channel B to the top of the rank. Real world applications are unlikely to make requests that alternate between addresses that sit on opposite channels with this memory organization, so in most cases, bandwidth will be limited to that of a single channel.

Dual-Channel Symmetric
This mode allows the end user to achieve maximum performance on real applications by utilizing the full 64-bit dual-channel memory interface in parallel across the channels with the aid of Intel® Flex Memory Technology. The key advantage this technology brings is that the end user is only required to populate both channels with the same amount (MB) of total memory to achieve this mode. The DRAM component technology, device width, device ranks, and page size may vary from one channel to another.

Will my ram be okay running at over 800Mhz?

my system seems to be stable with no problems.

2 of my sticks are 800 anyway so ive only overclocked my 667 sticks some.
 
I'd imagine so but if the voltage isn't rediculously high and it's not overheating it's still going to live longer than it's likely to be used for.

well its still at stock 1.8v :)

also all the memory has heatspreaders built on like this

Okay, rereading the thread I think I understand now. When he over clocked his processor it likely bumped up his voltage on his RAM as well. The memory is probably running at 2.0 volts or higher.
