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

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!
