ocz 1066 disk read error

[steelwolf]

Hi,

I got myself some ocz ram 2x 2gb sticks. im putting them into an m3a79-7 which at standard runss them at 400mhz, When i change the voltage to 2.1v and manualy set it to run at 1067 when i try to boot i get a black screen that reads "disk read error".

anyone have any ideas why/how to sort this.

thanks in advance.

Btw, the disk read error goes away when i lower the ram back down to ddr800. and i can boot into windows.

anyone have any ideas, still running at 400mhz because of this.


Edit:- now its started working at 533, i foresee a disk crash

At a guess the memory controller on the motherboard isn't willing to run the ram at this speed, at least under the current settings. I had a G35 board which refused to run my 1066mhz ram anywhere over 900mhz, replaced it with a P45 and the same ram then did 1150.
