HELP : New (faster) Ram, Now Won't Cpu Won't Reach Same Overclock?

Tbh I haven't read through it. But I do keep an eye on their DS3 threads and they have managed to solve, or atleast find a fix, for most of its problems. The beta BIOS's usually appear there first too.

See that big fat link at the top of the thread "Search this Thread", very handy for finding specific info.
 
The SPD causes the timings to go to 5-5-5-18 to increase the likelihood of the PC passing POST if, for example, the mobo runs a low voltage as standard. This allows the user to go into the BIOS and change the settings manually. It most certainly is not a problem with the RAM.

As for the problems you are experiencing, well I would clear the CMOS and try again at all stock speeds. Make sure you clear the CMOS properly and for a good 10 mins or more (the longer the better). There are plenty of guides out there showing you how to properly reset CMOS (power cable out + battery out + jumper across etc).

Following that, memtest the RAM and see if you get any errors. Assuming it's all clean, try booting to windows again. If you have a problem then, I would guess that a fresh install is necessary.

Reinstall windows as stock speeds, ensure everything is good and stable (Prime95 overnight wouldn't do any harm) and then start clocking again. Make sure you keep memtesting once you go over 800Mhz.
 
just out of interest did you clear cmos? or run memtest? i ran memtest with spd on @400 and it found no problems, but i have not reset the cmos but im going to when i get home tonight.
 
well i did a cmos clear of about 9hours and re-installed windows as i received my new raptor so will do some testing tonight and see where it gets me! i'l be annoyed that i can't hit 3.2 on stock volts again, with 4-4-4-12 timings!
 
ok folks went into bios set 4-4-4-12 timings with this ram and set it to ddr800 so i.e stock and failed memtest with 34 errors at 61%! guess these are going back! :mad:
 
some people have success with these geil and some dont. Its kind of like a 50/50 split which i dont like. I was going to get these but i'll think i'll pay the extra £50 or so and get some Corsair or G.Skill so i know atleast the ratio is better than 50/50

yeah thing is now do i risk getting some of the same stuff or get some new stuff?

i'd go for some other brand......corsair, g.skill.....which others are having a lot more success with
 
hi m8, i have the same mobo and ram as you but with 6600.i set timings to 4 4 4 12 and 2.3v and set them to 533 in bios then when i put the fsb up to 400 the ram will be at 800, have you tried that way? by the way ive ran them at 1000 with same volts (2.3)but with 5 5 5 15, the only blue screens i get are nv4_disd.dll :D

urm not sure if you read my above post, i've run memtest and i get 34errors running the ram at 4-4-4-12 2.1v ddr800 with a stock cpu! so it's definately the ram that's borked
