If I try to overclock my E6600 using Gigabytes C.I.A2 dynamic overclocking in the BIOS I get blue screens in windows complaining about memory. I read somewhere (sorry I lost the link) that the FSB : DRAM should be set to 1:1 to resolve the problem, is this correct?
That would mean that my PC6400 Ram would run at the same as my CPU bus speed which is 266Mhz * 2 for dual channel = 532Mhz rather than 800Mhz as it is supposed to be. It all sounds a bit weird having to underclock the ram so much but it solved my problem and allows me to overclock the CPU.
Also if I increase the voltage of the RAM to 2.1 (currently defaults to 1.8) could that be the cause of the blue screens when running the RAM at 800Mhz as this is what voltage Corsair suggest for my ram? If so how do I go about doing that on a Gigabyte P35 DQ6 motherboard as Ive looked everywhere and can’t find it.
