RAM Timings - Help!

[Deleted member 70857]

Hi. I've managed to OC my AMD Athlon X2 6000+ from 3Ghz to 3.3Ghz and its stable

I'm happy with that because I have the voltage at 1.4.
Could I increase that any more and still be safe?

Also with my RAM, default is 5-5-5-15. When I try and set it to 4-4-4-15 it wont boot into windows. Am i doing something wrong or is it just not a good OC'ing RAM?

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+
RAM: OCZ Technology 2x2GB 240DIMM PC2-6400 Gold
MoBo: Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe AMD 790FX

If your cooling is good, then you should find the max voltage your memory is rated for and put it up to that, then go a bit more gradual on your timings, first try 5-5-4-15, if thats ok under 8 hours of Memtest86+, then try 5-4-4-15

overclocking is a time consuming and gradual process, normally after each change and test, even a small one, i let it stay like that for about 3 days of pc/game tasks, and then push it a little further.

i wouldnt go any further than 1.4 if you are on air, water you may go to 1.5, but thats pushing it.
