Knavinusa Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I've been trying this out for a few days now, but the highest stable overclock I've been able to reach is 230x11 before my RAM limits me. My 4400+ is supposed to be able to reach around 2.65 Ghz before I have to go past 1.65V. Has anyone had any luck getting the 2 GB kits to overclock well, or am I just unlucky? I'm using the OCZ4002048ELDCP kit, by the way.

Evil-Fruits|R4z Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 If your RAM is topping out @ 230Mhz then y not stick it on a Divider and continue OCing the CPU? Also I would say that 230Mhz on DDR400 RAM is a pretty good OC tbh. r4z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knavinusa Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I've been thinking about doing that as well, but I'd prefer to keep it at 1:1 unless if there is no other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 That is the max of that ram must use divider above 230. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a divider doesnt lose you anything regards performance as long as you choose the best divider to keep the RAM as close to its max speed as possible. Limiting your CPU to the speed of your RAM is costing you a lot regards running the RAM on a divider with a 2.6Ghz CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRial Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 I am pretty sure there are some articles floating around here that go over the ram divider, timings etc that really put things in perspective as far as minimal to no loss with the divider in place. You will get more out of the system overall with a higher CPU overclock than keeping the Ram 1:1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
