Is it safe/a good idea to nudge the Northbridge voltage up abit more and try?

Cob · 8 Nov 2007 at 21:18

Yip it's ok.

badgaz1 · 8 Nov 2007 at 21:44

One error in 20minutes which is the least I've had so far but still not particuarly encouraging.

still a step in the right direction mate, tweak one setting at a time, and re-test. it can take a while, and goodness knows I've no patience, but when it comes to hardware you have to go through the cycles. that said, sometimes you can be lucky. best of luck, mate

tbh, at that rate that is seriosly unstable ram.

You shouldnt have to tweak and push to get ram working at stock.

If ram fails at stock and recommended voltage as far as i am concerned it's rma time.

Could it be a data/drive strenth problem?

CyZMyAssBaby · 9 Nov 2007 at 00:53

absence i am told makes eagerness grow fonder. RMA the blighter's

badgaz1 · 9 Nov 2007 at 00:54

I don't even know what one of those is, but if it's easy to solve then I hope so.

Yeah I get paid today so I might nip to the local PC shop near me and buy the cheapest DDR2 Ram they sell (providing it isn't too expensive, they aren't the cheapest of stores).

Look what you've done. You've made me want to REPLACE my RAM with that instead of get some temporary RAM. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY CURRENT RAM WHEN I GET IT BACK FROM RMA NOW!?
