i thought i had my 8400 stable at 4.0, but as it turns out it fails about 8 hours into orthos using blend setting. my voltage after vdroop is 1.41 with my FSB at 445. i am using kingston kvr800d2 RAM, with timings at 5-6-6-18 and a DRAM frequency of 445. stock ram voltage is 1.8 and i have it at 1.9.
i have noticed that my games get little intermittent chops, for example i will be running a solid 70 FPS and the screen still is choppy every few seconds. it's not terribly noticeable, and still playable but it definitely annoys me. i didn't have this problem before OCing.
everything i have read says that running 800mhz ram higher than 400mhz will likely cause a BSOD. my system runs fine except for failing orthos and the game problem. it could be something else other than the ram but i get the feeling that its the problem.
would buying 1066 RAM or higher likely fix the problem?
northbridge voltage is on auto
