Overclock recommendation needed

[stujeffrey]

Hi,

 

I have just had my Ballistix swapped out (2x512).

 

I want to run the memory at 250mhz but do not want to overclock the processor. So I can run 250 x 8 instead of 200 x 10 for my CPU. However I am such a numpty when it comes to VOltages and was wondering if I would need to change any of my valtages or whether they should stay on auto.

 

I have found stability with 512 Corsair value, with all BIOS on auto. I got fed up with messin about. But Ballistix are back from Crucial now so not sure.

 

I am going to run Ballistix at CL3.4.4.8 250Mhz FSB (they are CL3 version 503s not CL2,5 505). I was going to use a 2.7v DIMM voltage.

 

Any recommendations????

Read the overclocking tutorial, Memory Section!

 

But in short, you need to see the max of your memory and if it can even get to 250mhz+. So put it at stock speed and stock voltage, then starting bumping up the speed by 5Mhz and test in memtest with option #5. If you get an error then try bumping up your voltage.

Well I hope it can get to 250, as thats what it is rated at (DDR500 PC4000).

 

I have no idea what I should run my CPU voltage at!

From your sig, it seems that you do! I don't know much about the A64 3200+ voltage, but its best to check the overcloking database for a setup close to yours.

I have my 3000+ processor @ 1.65 volts, my memory @3.0 volts, i have the 505's from crucial, it runs easy at 265Mhz, and my processor up to 2800 Mhz...
