Hi all,
Great news on the OC front, managed with the aid of this link
http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/747/747606p1.html
To get my E6600 from 2.4GHz to 3.2Ghz nice & stable….. unfortunately there was no help with how to OC my memory which is:
2x2GB Corsair TwinX DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500+Airflow Fan
I tried a similar route last night to how I overclocked my E6600 processor i.e. 40 MHz increments & I had totally system failure after pumping it up only a few times.
Basically from standard in BIOS MEM (DDR), MHz – 1066
I tried the following:
40 MHz to 1106 – result, all ok
40 MHz to 1146 – result, all ok
40 MHz to 1186 I had complete failure......... I couldn't even get the BIOS back up. Only a blank screen with some SYSTEM32 type error came up. I tried & tried to get it to work until 1am & eventually went to bed in a panic.
Set alarm earlier than normal, got up and as my PC had obviously had time to cool, I managed to get into the BIOS & quickly reverted back to 1066..... All seems fine now.
Firstly was my method for increasing the RAM correct?
If not, what is correct method?
Timings are 5-5-5-15
I had system volts for memory set on automatic – it jumped between 1.85v > 2.1v
SLI memory setting disabled
Any more info just ask.
Any help to OC my memory would be greatly appreciated... or even if its possible.
Cheers Heffers
