I have Q6600 G0
Asus PK5-E
2*1GB Crucial Ballistix PC PC2-5300

Armed with the necessary guides and tools I thought I'd make a start!!

Before making any changes, I thought I would memtest and Orthos just to see if they threw anything up before I started.. Which they did!

MemTest throws errors up with both sticks are installed :confused: single sticks in each of the slots are ok and no errors are reported, but two sticks do :confused:

Orthos after about 30 secs gives this error :

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4

I do get the odd windows error, but put that down to vista!

Before I start tweaking, does it look like Ive got dodgy ram etc? (if so how do i find which one if memtest passes individually?!)

Thanks :)
 
At the moment, I have the bios set to "standard", so everything is showing as auto. CPU z is reporting 5- 3 -3 -15 -20
Frequency 333.4
FSB: DRAM 4:5
Voltage 1.8V

Core Voltage 1.144v (although this varies in CPU z)

When say increase by 0.1v is this the DRAM Voltage?
 
Thanks all

I have now set my DRAM to 2.2
VCore to 1.25

and the errors have disappeared :) Off to the overclocking guide ;)

When looking at the comments on the ram page, people have overclocked the ram.. will the come about whilst following the guide or is that the next level?!! :)
