New Sata.. Cant Overclock Memory

[ivanvt]

First off. i was runnig happily for 2 months now at 2750 Mhz 1.52 Volts. Memory at 275 Mhz 2.5-3-2-5, i was using a single SATA Drive SEAGATE 250 GB connected to port SATA 3. using BIOS 704-2 bta

 

I bought a new SATA Western Digital 160 Gb to use as my primary hard drive. i connected that hard drive to port SATA 3. i installed windows and now i cant overclock my memory, my CPU sits well at 2750 and my memory at 210 Mhz 2-2-2-5

 

But if i try to change 2.5-3-2-6 or higher (ive tried 3-3-3-6) than 210 Mhz my cpu at 2730 Mhz cant boot into windows, ive already try all the combinations possible

primary hardrive at ports 1,2,3 and 4, backup drive at 1,2,3 and 4 with no luck

 

any recommendations? obviously i want to run that same as before 2750 Mhz, memory 275 Mhz 2.5-3-2-5

Comments?

Well after a few days more of testing i am still confused as to why i cant overclock my memory with 2 SATA HDD.

 

If i disconnect my backup drive (leaving only 1 SATA in port 3) i can overclock as usual my memory at 275 Mhz 2.5-3-2-5 CPU at 2750 Mhz.

I would check in bios under IDE Function setup to make sure neither of the drives is raid enabled. Just a thought.

Ok, so i checked the IDE Funtion and RAID is disabled, any more suggestions?

Is the added drive creating more heat? Check your temps under load, with and without the drive.

[ivanvt]

Nope, the heat is the same, in fact the new SATA Temp is 30C. The older one is 31C my CPU is 25C,Chipset 34C.

 

I was thinking about reinstalling Windows againg, cause i ran memtest 10 time.

Try slots #3 and #4 for that sata hdd.

slots #1 and #2 will comprimise the memory clock after 230 i think.
