Good man, you've already picked up a some fraction of points with the wprime run, every little bit counts

I'll try that... the setting it was at in those runs is what the bios set it at from the beginning. That ram is my old Corsair ram that is supposed to run at 9-9-9-24 so it might do it. I think the voltage was at 1.5 in those runs so it will handle more.

But it my bios there are like 4 more numbers after those and i'm not sure what to set those on at the timings you suggested.

LOL...Yeah, fraction of points is right.

Seems like I had more before what it was at the beggining of these runs, does it take away points after awhile if you don't submit for a long time?

Global points deminish faster than Hardware points. Hardware points are "fastest in hardware" so usually they stay pretty consistant unless other are sumbitting faster scores with that specific hardware.

OK... Got it to the same settings @ 800mhz, didn't make much of a difference at all. I went from 12.172 - 12.14 on wPrime, and the weird thing is CPUz and the mhz that wPrime shows look to be different... Heres a screenshot.

BTW... The timings are set to what's below if that helps.

TCL - 7
TRCD - 7
TRP - 7
TRAS - 20
TRTP - 4
TRC - 27
TWR - 8
TRRD - 4

And it is set on 1T, which is what the default bios setting had all of these at when it was set at the lower Mhz.

That's not a bad gain with only changing the ram. Remember that you didn't play with the cpu mhz. Now I'm not the best ram clocker but I just play around with those advanced timings until I'm unstable and then either pump up more vdimm or relax the timings just a little. I usually test with super pi 1m. It's short, fast and will be slower if you are too tight on timings.

So do I just leave the last four numbers on what they are? Those are the ones I know nothing about or what they should be set at on different timings.

For right now just leave those alone. Get your cpu/nb freq/ram/timings/OS etc. down and then you'll tweak those last for those couple milliseconds or 50 points on a bench of your choice.

UGH.... Sure would be a lot easier if I had one of you guys with experience here to see this bios LOL. I've never seen anything like it before, I mean i'm sure the settings do the same as the bios i'm used too does but they are all just called something else in this bios.
