i did get an error in bios says ddr voltage fail in red ?????? have i nackerd my ram ????

stock is 29c idol 45c on load tested with tat

is this ok or would you not bother clocking it up at all.

thnx for any help.

Ignore the DDR2 fail message. It means nothing.

55c under load is fine. Clock some more but try to keep it under 65c.

Which board did you change from?

If it's a different chipset then a fresh install of Windows might be called for.

it was a pre build packard bell just strippe the cpu and memmory out and built around that,its on fresh install ive noticed a difrence in bf2 on max hitting around 90fps but still no noise from the fan on me 1900xt.it was a msi board with via chipset on it .

at the momment encoding divx to ipod 2 films at a time using ipod converter xillsoft
running at 2.7ghz
core 1 reads 35c
core 2 reads 33c

im very happy with that,so in th realy world apps and games would it go as high 45c as tat reports when you fully load it.
