geil value 3200

I have 2 x 512 cas 2.5 and 2 x 512 cass 2 (2gb total) in a dfi ultra-d running an opteron 165 overclocked to 2.1 ghz.

I'd like to know what timings I should be able to set my ram to to tighten them up a little, or indeed if it's worth it?

Just use the one thread so it's easier to see whats happening

Could you not get past 2.1Ghz?

The highest I can go is 2.16ghz - fsb is 240 htt is x3 ram is 166mhx 5/6 ht link (chipset frequency?) is 720mhz

It runs stable at 240 fsb full load but I tried to push to 245 fsb and upon reboot it lasted 30 secs then I got bsod with the following error - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I read on these forums that the HT Link should be as close to 1000mhz as possible but with the htt at x 3 I need to get the fsb to over 300mhz right?

I'm a looooong way off that.

temps are fine btw

would they really limit that much?

I'm expecting this chip to reach at least 2.5ghz and it doesn't seem stable at 2.1!

If it is the memory then I'd need to buy different stuff to make the cpu clock better ... if that's the case I may as well have sold all my existing components and gone for a c2d setup because the only reason I didn't was the thought of having to buy new ram as well as cpu and mobo ...

thanks for the help anyway
