Pc performing strange....

[Shamanji]

Hello im new to this forum, this is my pc spec's.

Intel core2 Q9650 4x 3.00GHz
Gigabyte X48-DQ6 "F8D"
Silverstone Strider ST1500 "Psu"
Ddr2 4x2 Gb Pc 9200 Ocz Platinum Xtc "Cl 5-6-6-18 2.2v"
Club 3d 4870x2
Club 3d 4870x2
Sony Floppy A Drev
Dvd 20x burner
2x 1500GB HD
Windows 7 ultitame 64 Bit

The Memory Ddr2 4x2 Gb Pc 9200 Ocz Platinum Xtc "Cl 5-6-6-18 2.2v" i recently bought to upgrade from 4gb too8gb of memory, the ones i had in before was Kingston hyperx 1066 Mhz 2.2v, when i had the 4 gb in my machine everything was running good with games fps was good...altho playing for hours made the pc a little slow, thats why decided to upgrade my memory from 4 - 8 gb, then i bought Ddr2 4x2 Gb Pc 9200 Ocz Platinum Xtc "Cl 5-6-6-18 2.2v" and after i installed those my benchmarks had been a little crazy with the scores also games dps had been worse.

i have done a clean windows install, no luck there and i tried with catalyst 10.1 too 10.4 no luck there...

my scores are now...

3dmark 03 = 78000-96000 [ was 96000 steady before with the 4gb]
3dmark 06 = 14800-17600 [ was 17600 steady before with the 4gb]
Vantage    =  15200-18000 [ was 18000 steady before with the 4gb]


altho my pc dossen go down or gives me bsod or anything im still anoyed with this.
can any of you help me with this?

I just think Gigabyte boards have compatability issues with all 4 dimms occupied with OCZ stuff.

[Shamanji]

well with the 4 stiks of 4x 1gb kingston hyper x memory 1066mhz tehre was no problem...

[Fatman]

Hmmm maybe so, but what I meant was with the OCZ gear and Gigabyte boards. I know I had issues with 4x1 gig of the OCZ Flex 9200 1150Mhz ram, wouldn't run stable so I ended up running with corsair 2x2g 8500C5D and haven't looked back.

[Shamanji]

ok....is there anything i could try before giving up?

[Fatman]

Well you could try bumping up your (G)  MCH +0.2. Do you have the ram timings set manually or have you left them on auto? If on auto set them maually to what the sticker says on the side of the modules. And also make sure the voltage is set correctly. What is the rated speed for your ram? You may not be able to set it to run at that, you may have to lower your SPD.

[Shamanji]

well its pc 9200 1150Mhz  5-6-6-18 2.2v, and that is also what they are running in the bios..i never use auto on memory.

[Fatman]

So are you actually running the ram at 1150Mhz?

[Fatman]

try changing the mutiplier to run it @ 1000Mhz and see if that makes things better.

[Shamanji]

no they are running at 1066 mhz atm 5-6-6-18, because i cant the board to run them at 1200 :/ you meen the system memory multiplier?

[Shamanji]

in my bios i can  set the smp too many things... but i have to know what fsb my cpu runs at its 333 i got that q9650.

when i want to change my smp spd i have to take in consideration that there are 4 thing to choose from.

a = 266 Fsb
B = 333 Fsb
c = 200 Fsb
d = 400 Fsb

so i have to choose within b and i can choose 2.00b = 667Mhz 2.40b = 800 3.20B = 1066...


i was running them at 3.20b and now im testing 2,40b 800mhz... tyoo see if it changes and it still dos the same thing. i dont know what else i can do...

8 gigs of RAM is not going to improve gaming.  If your machine is slowing down over time, I'd look at temperatures and make sure you're clean of malware.  If you want to get your 8 gigs working, that's fine but it's not going to improve any game.
