Help with memory Pls

E8400 @ 4.3ghz - P5Q Deluxe - 4gb OCZ Reaper HPC PC2 8500 - HD 4850 512mb GS - Xigmatek HDT-1284EE

O.k. thought things were going too smoothly.
From the beginning in BIOS I changed the FSB and the VCore and got Prime95 stable, 8+ hours stressing the; "TFT'S" is it? (I know so noob.)
@ 8x540 with a Vcore in CPUID of 1.288. Right. Temps I was happy with, staying around 54-55C. All good.
Tried blend test in Prime95 and fail, changed the DRAM to 2.1 still fail. Tried 2.2 fail. Even tried upping the vcore a little bit to 1.32 ( getting desperate.)
So now I have ran Memtest86+ and fail on the first pass getting this error:-
TST - 7
PASS - 1
failing Address - 00041921540 1049.0MB
Good - f8503dc4
Bad - b8503dc4
Err bits - 40000000
Count Chan - 1
Gonna try 2.3 DRAM next, though if it fails after that I am lost.

cpu pll, fsb termination new ones on me lol. Just read that giving the nb an extra 0.1 may help. Yeah went 2.3 to the memory though failed a blend test straight away, so not a problem them getting anuff juice.
What would you suggest?

 

[jmc007]

Yeah @ 4.3ghz was small fft stable overnight just over eight hours, vcore showing 1.288 in cpuid, I'd set it at either 1.3 or 1.32 .
Will try those other voltage settings now.
They are running in a blend test now @ 8x540 1.325 vcore took the memory down to 2.1 (should have listened to you and put 2.02. will do that next.) and the nb fsb term and cpu pll voltages you suggested. Talley Ho.

 

[jmc007]

Bugger. Fatal error. O man. Cheers for the help so far gotta go bed for now. yawn. night.

 

[jmc007]

I did another small fft test, over 8 hours stable again so it has got to be my RAM right?
I am guessing maybe my early bios, vs 1204 is the problem.

 

[jmc007]

Currently testing these bios settings in a blend test, supposedly good for OCZ Reaper HPC DDR2 4GB 1066MHz Dual Kit (OCZ2RPR10664GK)
Will let you know how I get on.
UPDATE:- These settings failed in blend after an hour. Dam.

Guess all I can do now is reset to defaults in bios and check each stick seperately.

(On a side note:- So 533 is the maximum fsb I can have with this RAM? As if I go higher I get no option in DRAM Frequency for DDR-1066Mhz?)

Right finally got Blend stable. Reckon my OCZ kit just wasn't happy with that overclock. Plus not reading the begginers overclock sticky properley did not help.
Here are my final (for now.) stable settings. Might help someone.
* I dont remember changing this setting? Anyone know if it is right? I know it is stable but...just do not remember changing it.
