Just had a little go at OC, this can't be good

*Edited* What did you OC?

my cpu, left the memory on auto

Ah then I was right in the first place. Try putting a divider on the memory, it should lower the speeds, so they're arent in the red.

how do i do that mate? i'm a bit of a noob when it come to overclocking

Mr Men · 18 Jun 2006 at 17:02

look in your memory settings for something like 200Mhz, switch that down to 166Mhz

Soulja · 18 Jun 2006 at 17:03

ok, thanks i'll give it a try

That thread is a good place to start.

lowest is 200mhz, i got it down from 347 to 261 but its still in the red, if i left it like that what would happen?

jellybeard999 · 18 Jun 2006 at 17:56

just test for stability...

if its stable, whats the problem ??

those apps are generally garbage

I dunno what happens, I am just a learner too, but from what I read it might make your memory unstable and you might have data getting corrupted, what mobo are you using and what cpu are you overclocking? Did you lock the PCI and AGP clocks?

Try something like CPUz see what that says for your memory, just to double check it

The biggest problem I can see in that Pic is the AOL in the background...

Get rid of that and he holy god of computing will shine a 60% Overclock on you.

or more seriously, I wouldn't worry about the RAM speed in the monitor app, if it's stable then you have fast RAM and there's nothing to worry about

asus sli-premium with a 4400+ got it clocked to 2600mhz.

lol

yeah aol is a terrible program, always crashing and stuff :mad:

thanks for the info on the ram

Soulja · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:23

well it seems to be running fine at 2.75, what do most people get out of a 4400+?

Defcon5 · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:32

afaik that prog doesnt factor in you using a divider, so shows stupidly high ram freqs

Soulja · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:50

so i guess mine isn't to good then? what will happen if i leave it like that?

Mikey1280 · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:55

It appears the Nvidia monitor is showing the effective speed e.g. 200*2=ddr400 so the mem speeds are nothing to worry about. However your current speeds of 130mhz and incredibly odd timings 2-3-3-15 2T need sorting out. I suggest you read the overclocking guide before you fiddle further

Soulja · 18 Jun 2006 at 20:59

ok, thanks buddy
