ok I have got the said chip first of all what is a safe voltage for this chip??

I have this mobo Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R in the bios I have the option of system memroy multiplyer is that the RAM to FSB divider??

I have this RAM GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz , could someone give me somwe rough setting to get this chip upto 3gig which is pretty standard as far as I am aware.

Thanks in advance :)
 
Almost the same setup as me (though I've got an Asus A5E mobo).

To start with, if you're using air cooling, I've been advised not to go about 10 - 15 % of your initial voltage, and to do so in small increments. Having said that, 1.55V seems to be about the highest people recommend.

The RAM works for me at its rated 2.1V, but doesn't seem to like going about 860MHz (an FSB of 430) at a 1:1 ratio, but then I've not really tried to flog the RAM. You may well fare better...

My current settings are an FSB of 430 with a multiplier of 8, with a vcore of 1.32V, and the RAM as above. Seems okay so far, but I got there slowly, notching things up one small step at a time, especially with the voltages.

There are many more experts here however who can probably show you the path to the light side :)
 
Yeah but change that system mem multi plyer it chnages my multiplyer down from 9 to 6.

I have SMM set at 2.4 which puts mem at 800 mhz.

Anyone care to help a old hand whos lost his way
 
right am I been thick if I right click on my computer it reports back at 3.0 but in cpuz it says my multplyer is at 6 X ???

Anyone shed any light ?

Thanks for that info Semper si , I couldn`t figure out timings and SMM to get my 1:1 ratio , the penny has dropped :D

cheers

What timing have you got that RAm at for it to run 860?? you are running RAM GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz I assume?

4-4-4-12 - I've heard that Asus boards (like mine) don't always like GeIL RAM, so I've left the timings at their recommended latency. 5-5-5-15 did nothing but make the system unstable.
 
Have GeIL (4x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz on an Asus P5K-E and have had it running stable at 970mhz (485FSB) @ 5-5-5-23 (2T) @ standard voltage and had no problems on an 8hour Prime95 blend test.

Found that it ran stable @ 4-4-4-12 (2T) up to around 920mhz where I had to change timmings to 5-5-5-18 (2T) to get it stable again
