duckdown Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Hi all.. I'm currently running 300 x 9 = 2701MHZ Prime95 Stable 16+ Hours and was working on bringing my RAM up to speed now. It is OCZ Platinum 2GB kit, rated at 2-3-2-5-1T DDR400 RAM. People previous to me with this set on the forums say they don't overclock for crap, and just to run them on a divider at regular 200mhz speed with tight timings.. So I used the A64 Memory Frequency Conversion program (A64MemFreq), and according to it, with my settings, on the 143mhz divider my RAM would be at ~207mhz (Should be fine..) However, upon rebooting, I noticed my motherboard only has a 140mhz divider option which is 7:10, and that should've been sufficient I woulda thought.. So I chose it, and now starting running Memtest86+, and look at this!! Obviously this cannot be correct, can it? I should note its well over an hour now and it hasn't errored once.. What the heck? Anyone wanna weigh in here? Is this a glitch, and will it affect my stability do you think? Can anyone reccomend some other settings if I did something wrong? Thanks all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm27 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I would say memtest just isn't reading that divider right, go into cpu-z in windows and see what it shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckdown Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 This is messed up.. I did as you said after a couple of hours, and have booted back into windows now.. And the friggin FREQUENCY: box in CPU-Z is greyed out and doesn't display anything! I can't find out the frequency through that either What in the hell is going on?

red930 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Run a newer version of MEMTEST86, possibily the 1.65 version should fix it since that's a bug or something.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckdown Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Hrmm I can try a new Memtest in a bit I suppose.. But why is it screwed up in CPU-Z too? And is there something else I can use that doesn't require me to burn a new CD and reboot.. (Ie: Another tool like CPU-Z) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddm27 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 what version of cpu-z are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckdown Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 what version of cpu-z are you running? The most newest; I just downloaded it from www.cpuid.org Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDMF Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The 140 divider shows up in memtest as 1:1. Use a calculator and the formula to determine actual memspeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
