Overclock

Hey

I have just built the following :-

Intel E2180
Ocuk IP35-SOCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)
Crucial Ballistix 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT6464AA804)

Now, I'm having issues, Overclocking, could it be the 2 different type of RAM?

I have set my FSB:RAM Ratio to 1:1
And have just upped my FSB to 275mhz with a multiplier of 10 (standard?), with my RAM running at 2.0v, and leaving the CPU at stock volts, the PC doesn't even boot!

Any ideas, I don't understand why it's the RAM if I've set a 1:1 ratio, meaning I've underclocked my ram? I have set the RAM timings to 4-4-4-12, which is the rated speed.

Surely the mobo should be good at FSB 275, and I've been reading up I believe the CPU should not need more volts until the 3ghz mark

Take out the Ballistix and try again.

reset the BIOS and leave everything as it is and see if it boots then. If it doesnt, there a problem, if it does, then its something your doing.

It boots fine at stock speeds

Ace Modder,

The Crucial website says that ram should be running at 2.2v, have you tried that?

have you set pci-e frequency to 100? I would also bump up the vcore slightly. I usually work backwards on vcore so i'll give it a small increase as soon as i start and once i'm happy with the overclock i'll start to reduce it 1 increment at a time to see the minumum i can get away with is.
