Upgrading performance on my single old computer
Upgrading performance on my single old computer
I'm sharing some tips on getting your RAM to run faster with your setup. It's been a bit of a challenge, but I've got some ideas to try.
DDR3-1600 memory operates at 800 MHz. Use CPU-Z to verify your memory performance. The Core i7-920 isn't an Extreme model, so memory dividers are restricted to DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...l-qpi.html For improved speed, maintain higher BCLK rates. Memory and BCLK are closely connected. These boards perform better with 6-core Xeons such as W3670 or W3680. Fully loaded, they should handle a Xeon at 4500 MHz across all cores. X58 boards are costly, but processors are affordable on eBay.
