Overclocking advise....

Hi

I have 3800x2 AM2, with a Asus M2N4SLI mobo, with 2GB of Generic RAM.

My system has been running at 2.25ghz with my RAM at 281mhz for a while.

I know my RAM was underspeed running initally.

I have just upped my FSB to 230 with my RAM set at 290mhz(ish)

After about 30mins, I got a BSOD.

I always thought my RAM was my limiting issue.

But I just upped my FSB:RAM to 1:1 timing

I now have the following:-

Would upping my voltages a little help with my BSOD problem? is that causing the CPU to become upstable? at 2300mhz

Yeah up the CPU voltage. Tho I would have thought that the X2 3800+ would do more than 2.25ghz on stock voltage.

Maybe the RAM is becoming unstable... it is running beyond spec, check it with memtest

If you read my post, I was running my RAM at 280Mhz (below spec) whilst my CPU was at 2250mhz using 225 FSB, upping the FSB to 230mhz which meant the RAM should still be under-spec speed caused BSOD!
