Gosh, 18 minutes and 2 bumps.

You could try having a little patience.

I'm sure when someone reads your post who can help they will.

Bumping a thread twice in 20 mins isn't going to go down well...

edit: too slow

Surveyor · 21 Jun 2011 at 22:29

While you're waiting please check the model of the motherboard as there isn't a GA-M68T-S2.

Is it the GA-M68MT-S2?

What speed are you running the XMS3 at?

There you go, a free bump while asking relevant questions

Yh typo sorry and it the mobo you put and mutiplyer got ram is 6.66

1333MHz then.

You could try reducing the memory multiplier to 5.33 to start of with.

That way you'll know it's not the RAM if the overclock fails.

And BTW, you have 1 line too many in your sig.

Sig. looks fine

When you increase the FSB you increase the speed of the RAM as well as the processor.

By reducing the RAM multiplier you know you're not overclocking the RAM too far and can rule that out if the overclock fails.
