A2Z · 19 May 2006 at 21:02

been playing around with my winnie 3000 (on asus a8n-sli), and just got it to boot 300X9 (2.7Ghz) for first time ever....

now my ram(2 X 1gb corsair cl2) is on divider 333, and its running at 246mhz

now i wana push my cpu higher and see what happens, but first i wana put my RAM slower so it doesnt limit the overclocl....

but

when i put it to 266 divider i think, it wont boot, i dont get it, as am i not making the ram run slower? :confused:

You need to loosin the timings on your ram, when i put a devider on my ram it tightens the timings

now its 2.5-3-3-7

ill try 3-4-4-8, i hope this wont be too much of a performace drop if it works?

//edit

i tried loosing timing to 3-4-4-7 and put on 266 divider but still would not boot

put it back to 2.5-3-3-7 and left on 333 divider, wouldnt boot at 305X9, but am now on 303X9, which makes it 2.73ghz, which im happy about, 1.8 > 2.73 :cool:
