OC Memory Question

braz2kuk · 20 Apr 2007 at 12:37

Hi,

I currently have:

FSB: 389
Multi: x9
Vcore: 1.425
NB: 1.71
CPU Clock = 389 x 9 = 3.5Ghz (Orthos Stable 10+ Hours)

Memory Timings: 4-4-4-12
Memory Strap: 533 1:1
Memory Speed: 389Mhz

My problem is when i try to increase my FSB to 400 so that my ram will run at 800mhz like it is suppose to do system will not boot, even at higher voltages.

If i change the CPU strap in my bios to say 667 then this runs the ram at like 975mhz which it cannot handle

so is there any way i can get my ram to run faster? or at least to 800mhz? on this overclock? or do i need new ram?

Ram is in my sig, it is 2GB OCZ Platinum 4-4-4-15 Dual Channel Kit.

Thanks

what voltage do you have your CPU at?

braz2kuk · 20 Apr 2007 at 12:42

Says above : 1.425

you definitelly dont need new memory, what idle/load temps you getting

braz2kuk · 20 Apr 2007 at 12:51

IDLE: 37
LOAD: 59 - 62

Have you tried to slacken the timings a little on your RAM, just to eliminate that possibility.

Yeah tried them at 5-5-5-15 but still no good, any ideas how to chnage them to 2T timing on my board? can't find the setting for it?

is there no options to unlink the memory from FSB?

I wish there was, i can't see any option, what would it be called if it was there?
