Hey, my rig is all working now and i've just started to overclock it. Managed to get the Opteron 165 to 2.9ghz fine, however it would seem that I get memory problems in WoW and a couple of other games. Pretty sure it's not my graphics card as it is left untouched.

My spec is;

Opteron 165
Asus A8N-SLi Premium
OCZ 2 x 1 Gb EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum
Antec NeoHE 550watt PSU
7900GT

I know how to overclock the CPU etc. but know sod all about RAM. What do you advise about changing RAM settings to get a stable overclock?
 
Newb question coming; what's a divider? I hear the term being mentioned in overclocks and I have rough understanding of memory:fsb ratio.
Will post CPU-Z screenies in a sec.

Do you need details of how the memory acts when it is overclocked? I put it back to normal because of the memory problems I thought I was getting.

Ok thanks. When I was clocking it was set to 'auto'. I'll post some screenies of it when it's clocked, to see if my RAM can be changed anymore.
Will reply soon ;)

How're those memory timings? Does anything need to be changed?

Edit: Got like tearing in games again from it. It only seems to be when I go beyond 2.7ghz. Temperatures are fine. Any idea?
 
Dropped it to x7 no problems. I'm now back on x9 and no problems at all. Do you think changing the RAM voltage would change much? I've just been doing everything at stock, bar CPU.
