Which OC should I keep?

[Visable-assassin]

for the last 2 months or so Ive been running at 210x12 1.85v (2520mhz) well I just started goofing with higher OCs and right now Im showing VERY stable results at 217x12 1.95v (2604mhz) However which OC should I keep?

Full stats on Each OC

Mobo NF7-S Rev2
2500+ mobile
1gb XMS 3200XL PRO


2520mhz

12x multi
210mhz
Cas2
Ras to Cas 2
Ras Precharge 2
Tras 11


2604mhz

12x multi
217mhz
Cas2
Ras to Cas 2
Ras Precharge 3
Tras 11


should I just keep the 2604? or is that Ras Precharge of 3 gonna slow me down slightly from the "2" setting?

Run Memtest86.
It should not only check to see if the memory work at that speed.
But will also give you a speed in Mb/s that your memory is running at.
So which ever speed runs the test faster with no errors is the faster memory speed.

Then try something like Prime95 which you can use to benchmark the cpu.

Luck.........

Eh? If it's stable, it's safe.

I would run memtest86 but personally, if the memory difference is not too bad, I would keep 2.6 ghz

safe? Im well within the max voltage and everything so no problem
I just stopped prime after 18 hours if its making it this far itll do 24, besides I need my system again LOL

Honestly dude, it looks good.....if you made it through 18 hours or Prime I'd probly keep it at 2.6GHz....if not for the sole reason that it sounds cooler then 2.52GHz.

She should do fine dude. at 18 hours she'll hold man.

Don't even worry about them at first...

Get your Max FSB/Ram clocks w/o errors, then worry about the timings.

So to your answer the 2.6

I'm curious about some of your other bios settings for those speeds. My setup is similar to yours except the XMS pc3200 is a combo of v1.1(512) and v3.1(2x256), and the 2500 is a non-mobile. Are you running the 'stock' abit bios? Right now I'm trying the tictac d10 one and I think I'm gonna go back to the latest abit factory version. What ratio fsb/ram does it like? TIA
