Problems getting my system stable


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd post my OC results on the off chance that someone might find it useful. My 4400+ has been running at 2.75GHz per core for the last two weeks - 250 FSB 11X Multiplier 2750 MHz @ 2-3-3-8 RAM settings. I've even been gaming, downloading, and converting tons of video like a fiend too - often at the same time. I'm not using the supplemental power inputs on the MOBO, but I have had to compensate for initial dips in power on the 12 volt and 5 volt rails using the True Control front panel. Though I set the chip at 1.45 volts in BIOS, Smart Guardian reads the voltage at 1.55. I included my BIOS settings below. Temps after several hours of Quake4 while downloading at the same time have never been over 39C. Tends to run idle at 33C and 36-38C under load. Maybe I just got lucky. :D

New Latency for C2 Modules

Corsair is pleased to announce that effective immediately, all Corsair "C2" rated modules are guaranteed to run at a CAS Latency of 2 in all current production AMD motherboards!

 

Basically, the 2.5 only applies to Socket A stuff.

 

That quote's from the front page. Their forum is at:
