Hi all, I'm pretty new to overclocking and my rig was as follows:
ASUS P5K Deluxe Motherboard
4GB RAM (2 x Geil F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK)
Intel E6850 CPU
I was getting a FSB overclock of 411Mhz with my old memory (the one listed above) and like an idiot I thought that the reason i couldnt push my CPU to 4Ghz was because my RAM was only 6400 (I was getting BSOD's post 405Mhz FSB), so I took it back to overclockers and swapped it for 4GB/2x... (*cringes*) OcUK 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit.
Now the P5K will only pick up this RAM as 6400 Rated and my system will not overclock nearly as well, ony reaching 350 on the FSB with multi of 9.
So my question is this: I know im on another journey to overclockers tommorrow and what RAM would you guys recommend that will run fine as 4GB @ 8550 speeds and which RAM is the best for overclocking?
Any advice would be appreciated - TIA.
Mantrid.
