Hi All,

I got a Abit IN9 32 Max, E4300 C2D and OCZ PC2 8500 2 Gig ram.

OC'ed the e4300 before I bought the OCZ ram. Now that I put the new ram, I got my CPU at 3gig and running it as 5:4 with my ram which gives my ram 1066Mhz which is the standard speed.

I set the Voltage of the ram to 2.3V and the CPU at 1.365V, ran Orthos for 5 hours it failed with a message saying Hardware Failure.

Is that hardware failure to do with the CPU ram setup or can it be some other hardware?
Is the set voltage good or do I need to change them?

Thanks

Aye, but do you remember whether it was small or large FFT that it was running at the time as Blend just runs a mix of sizes to test both.

damn cant remeber, will have to run the test again and will let you know.

I put the CPU voltage to 1.405,

I cant locate stress.txt, otherwise would ave told you

tbh m8 I would first of all run memtest form a bootable disk for 20 passes b4 entering into windows - in my experience ram plays a massive factor in any overclock and should be tress tested to the max. I know it's at default but it could be faulty..

Ok,

Will do that and see what happens
 
Ok I got my ram currently running and completed 10 passes without errors :D

Shall I stop or shall I complete the 20 passes before trying again
 
Well you're over half way to 20 so you may as well finish.

My 4300 needs at least 1.45v for 3Ghz + at stock I think it's 1.35 which is higher than the rest of the C2D range. Your looking at a 66% OC for 3Ghz so you need to feed it some voltage.

I've run mine as high as 1.55v with a TT Big Typhoon and it's just fine.

Mostly @ 3.2Ghz 1.45v

Will go higher but start getting a little hot so I have to speed up all the case fans.

Cool thanx guys, well I did it till 14 pass and it looks good.

I will run SP2004 again, my CPU voltage is set to 1.405.

will keep you posted :)
 
Just wanted to add:

On my old rig which was instead of the OCZ ram, I had 2x 1gig GeIL PC2 6400

and my CPU was stable at 3 gig with 1.345V.

Do you recon coz I got this ram, the cpu might need more power?

Thanks


PS I just lost my data on one of the HDD's after I upped the CPU volt to 1.445
 
Hi,

The data on your HDD should have nothing to do with your CPU voltage. If anything an increase in CPU voltage increases stability providing temps are ok.

Only circumstance where you may get an issue is if the PSU can't deliver enough current and your +12v dips.

If the only thing you've changed is the memory and now your OC not stable at 3Ghz then it could be the north bridge voltage or cooling. It will be workin harder with faster ram. Did you set the memory timings manually ?

AD
 
I have set the timing manually to 5 5 5 15 2T only,

I dont know what to put in the advanced mem timing.

I have now formated my HDD, reinstalled windows vista and currently doing my SP2004 tests. is that ok or shall I have everything installed first before doing the SP2004 test?

Like all the drivers, office and other programs
 
Ok this is my result:

After 9h 42Min, I stopped SP2004. My CPU E4300 currently has 1.4250Volts stable with for that time.

Is that a safe volt?

Not sure about temp but am sure its safe :D
