So odd that AMD intentionally simplified DRAM overclocking, yet for the most part people have made it quite difficult. Compared to what you have to do on an INTEL platform, AMD is child's play and I love that actually. Means you can get on with the business of overclocking quickly, even between motherboards. The IMC is also way more tolerant than anything INTEL has on their side, so it's 99% fun, 1% frustration at the worst of times and all 100% fun any other time.
Still glad to see everyone clocking the beans out of memory, so it's no longer some dark art and everyone can get involved and benefit from it all.
Here's hoping by some magic we can get the IF limit lifted in future CPUs, even 2000MHZ would help for 24/7 even more. For XOC, I'd even settle for a 1,200MHZ IF. That would still yield some beastly scores. AMD will do it I think, maybe not this year but whatever comes next year will. Even without increasing IPC, if the IF stops being the weakest link (more dividers/ higher limit or both), we will see large performance gains right across.
Going to go HAM on the IMPACT this coming week. Hope to share my findings
