Help OC e2180 (@ 3.2ghz)

I've overclocked my e2180, it's stable at 2.7ghz and 3ghz but once I reach 3.2ghz I get BSOD/Memory dump on demanding games. I'm happy with 3.2ghz just want it stable.

320x10 and 1.41v Core (although CPU-Z says 1.392v). My DDR is 400mhz, I set the ratio to keep at this speed (FSB: DRAM = 4:5), is that okay?

35C idle, <50C load though.

(e2180, Geil 2gb DDR2 6400/800mhz, Abit IP35-e)

Raise the vcore to 1.45v and test again.

1.45v is safe enough to have as long as you go no higher than 1.5v+

Also check the ram is set to 2.1v.

have you tested it in orthos to check stability

Yep,

Stable @ 3.2ghz.

Increasing the voltage worked. Just wondering if I dare push to 3.5ghz? I don't think my RAM will like it.

Had a hiccup this morning, PC didn't boot in to Windows, did once I left it running for a while to "warm up" then it booted in straight a way, which is odd.

Temperatures at idle are still 35C.

320x10 (3.2ghz), 1.45v.
RAM at 800mhz (400mhz whatever), 2.1v and 4:4:4:12 timings.

Anything that might be an issue?

You might need to drop the timings on the RAM a little or even push the voltage up just a 'little' on the RAM then test.
