We all know there is more than one way to run memory, in fact really you could say there are 3 ways...these being:
1 Low speed tight timings
2 Mid speed mid timings
3 High speed loose timings.
Question is which one is best?
After testing the new DFI LP P35 we found it offered quite a few options that proved usable for the memory with a given CPU speed.
Most enthusiasts or gamers buying Intel CPU's now are going to buy a quad core CPU, with this in mind a QX6850 was used for this article but owners of the Q6600 should also get some good data from this as the 8 and 9 multipliers are available to them. Of course if you have a dual core its still relevant also as it all depends on what multipliers you have on the CPU.
Please also remember with using a quad core the available FSB range is somewhat limited, while the excellent LP P35 is able to push upwards of 470FSB we used a max of 458 with an 8 multi for round figure of 3.66GHJZ clock speed on the CPU, in fact 3.66GHZ is somewhat of a magic number as staying within 7 MHZ of this we were able to clock the memory 17 different ways, with hopefully results that prove one way or another which is fastest and which way is slowest.
