So what do you suggest?

If I set the CPU to run at 2.8Ghz, with an FSB of 400.

I thought that 5-5-5-15 was slack, I thought 4-4-4-12 was pretty tight

What do you suggest I put all the settings to then?

Thanks for you help!

I saw your timings of 5-7-7-20. 4-4-4-12 sounds great if you can get it to run stable.

Where did you see 5-7-7-20?

At the moment it's running at 5-5-5-15...

In the screenshot of the RAM configuration on page 6 or 7.

Oh right, Yeah, but I see, 5-6-6-18...

Hmmm, could that be a problem?

Do you mean you see 5-6-6-18 now, or on a previous post?

 

[Kornowski]

I saw it on a previous post, CPU-Z says I'm running at;

5-6-6-17

I don't know if that could be the problem?

That wouldn't cause instability, it's just lowering performance then running it at lower timings.

 

[Kornowski]

Ah right, Ok... I thin I've found somebody that's interested in buying my RAM, so I'll get some OCZ Gold, 800MHz and OC this baby!

I still don't think the RAM is the issue, as it's still around the same speed as stock.

 

[Kornowski]

So what would you sugest to save me buying some more RAM?

 

[taylormsj]

Well, i advise against cheap OCZ memory, i think i have the platinum or gold 800MHz, and it wont overclock well !

I think the best thing you could do it to get another P35 mobo, say an asus P5kc or DFI blood iron, and then sell your current Mobo, then you could keep your ram and lower the dividers.

 

[Kornowski]

Nah, I'm not goin' to get a new MOBO... Aint worth it...

I hear good things about the OCZ RAM, so...

 

[taylormsj]

my OCZ wont do much over 900 MHz, which is no good,

Id look into geil ram, a mate has some, it does 1GHz easy and is only around 35 - 40 on overclockers

With what timings?

 

[Kornowski]

I reallly thought that OCZ was good RAM;

[Kornowski]

Ok, I'm looking at this now, they'd be good, right?
