What's the definition of very obtainable? Any stress test results?

The code is a capable board but beyond 4200 depends very much on the CPU also.

Bass Junkie....both Prime 95 small ffts and blend tests were performed and system is 100% stable. See attached screenshot for Aida64 memory benchmark.

Silent Scone..."obtainable" is what it is...the board runs the 4400mhz memory speed @ 1.42 v without any issues...it is very CPU dependent though....I guess I have a very good chip with a strong memory controller.

Always wise to post stability screenshots with embedded frequency, voltage, and timing utility shots. It's a better way of getting one's point across.

Any time you make a stable ultra-high memory frequency claim in a forum (especially a speed that is above what the board is rated for), it's always good to include evidence. The very nature of your post is making a claim, and that quantifies as trying to get a point across. The lowest denominator for a forum post claiming 'obtainable' is slapping together a screenshot of AIDA memory bandwidth and a few CPU-Z shots. The issue is it promotes people to claim breakneck frequencies are stable, while they supply very little evidence.

In the case of uncommon DRAM frequencies, it's good to include memory-centric stability tests in one's post, not just Prime95, which isn't the best way to test memory - HCI Memtest or Ram Test is a better method. It's not that the doubt is being cast upon you. It's just good to uphold a standard that prevents people from promoting something that can cause more issues than it solves. We don't want to promote minimalist screenshots that claim stability. More so when the opening post fails to mention that it may be conditional.

For the record, I understand there are many types of overclocking, and, I'm definitely partial to pushing a system. Yours truly partakes in the extreme side of overclocking, too. We just need to understand that there's a line between a personally obtainable result and one that's fit for anyone to run 24-7.

This thread would have been a lot shorter if evidence was provided in the first post. That way, we don't end up with awkwardness, or cause a ripple effect that results in users getting into a situation they are not equipped for.


Hope this makes things clear, and please, do not feel offended.
