Raife Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 So when I start O/Cing by raising the FSB and get around 1600mhz I start getting various memory issues (i.e. computer won't fully boot). How can I prevent this? Any info would be appreciated!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 You using Corsair Memeory thats why. That brand don't overclock to well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raife Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 What if I change the CL and CAS to 2.5 rather than 2. I purchased the Corsair because I heard it was better to get CAS/CL 2 over 2.5 and corsair was the only resonable priced one I could find - now I know WHY! What would you recommend instead?

Bosco Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Well for Overclocking go with Xtreme or Samsung. I personally would go with Xtreme because it has a higher clock speed and a bit higher bandwidth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 you know bosco.. I thought I read Corsair overclocked well.. and from some of the reviews I read the corsair performed a bit better then Xtreme did.. what are your thoughs on this?

Bosco Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Well I have both and anytime I got into the high FSB speeds Corsair would start crashing all the time. The only three brands that could take it was Xtreme, Samsung and Kingston. But thats just me people have different opinons. As for what you read everybody has different luck, If I remember correctly OverclockersAus had the same problem as me with it crashing. I just try and give people options that I know that work well.

Bosco Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Raife: Lower the CL to 2.5 that might fix your memory problems. What FSB are you running it at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raife Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Well here's the update: I unlocked my CPU (because I could) but still am not having any luck with O/C. I went into the Bios and found out that the memory settings were 3-6-3 so I changed them to 2-5-2. No more memory problems with O/C, BUT now have been getting registry errors and DLL file error and one BSOD. All under 1600mhz (133-140 FSB) Ran SisSandra system Performance (I think that's what it was called) when it was only slightly O/C'd and it told me that the FSB was too high for the chipset. Does this mean my MB won't run faster than 266 and I can't O/C Not sure what else to do - walked through the Bios Optimazation Guide and made all the appropriate changes. PLEASE HELP - I want to O/C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raife Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Actually would it help to change operating systems to Win 2000 or XP (I know everybody loves Linux) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Operating systems don't have anything to do with overclocking. Have you tried increasing the voltage when you start overclocking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raife Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 I did but only by 0.25v - should it go higher? Also I had asked about the MB - any insight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Well personally I am not a fan of shuttle but thats just me. As for your voltage try different combinations to see if it will help, if not it could be the board or cooling. <_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
