Not sure if this was posted before but for other people that have Corsair Ram PC 8500 Dominator I noticed.
1. I can get it up to 1200 mhz stable @5-5-5-15 2T (2.125 vlts) unlinked from CPU running at 3.1 Mhz. Everest ram bench marks not bad but not great. 3dmark06 with latest 1.1 patch around 8400
2. I leave Cpu Fsb (1400 if I recall correctly) alone and run CPU at 3.1, scale down Fsb on ram to around 711 mhz with ram timings @ 3-3-3-9 1T (2.125vlts). Everest benchmarks shoot way up hitting almost 10000 on the read for ram. 3dmark06 with latest 1.1 patch around 10066.
3. Therefore tighter timing and not always FSB increase will give you better scores. Try it. Ill try to figure out how to post pics.
GOod luck.
I had meant to post this in the EVGA 680I motherboard forum can an admin move this thanks.
