Need help with memory settings!(corsair twinx)

[Radikal]

Now I have new PSU: Antec NeoHE(=High Efficiency!)

well... it is under 480W, but definitely enough for this computer.

 

I have tried to overclock my cpu, but it doesn´t work, "the best" result is 2,2ghz but still computer freeze after few minutes!

 

few months ago I had DFI LP nF4-D, kingston valueram cl3 512MB(CL3 @200mhz)+Elixir 512MB (CL3 @200mhz), (Antec SP 350W, GF 6600GT)

with those I got cpu up to 2,75Ghz... but it was 100% stable at 2,7ghz (1,63V)... "ultimate record" is this same processor+that kingston valueram: 2,5ghz(1,35V), memory(2,5V) CL3 @250mhz--> SuperPI 1M: 36sec

 

When I bought new mobo and memorys(and finally a new PSU) I thought I would get new "OC records" ...but it doesn´t look good at all :sad:

 

So, now I could need some help to break the old records ...I think that the problem is memory timings, and I don´t know very much about them :/

 

here some information about the memory: Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 2X512MB ... http://www.corsair.com/corsair/products/sp...1024-3200c2.pdf

 

and the settings:

...which settings should work? ...I would like to get CPU up to 2,8ghz rather more, in winter temps are not problem (I have some tricks if needed; cold air to processor from outside)

 

there might be some mistakes in the text, but I hope that even some of you understand

thanks,

but those settings didn´t work...

I had to change:

FSB BUS Frequency....................225

LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio..............X 4.0

CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio..............X 10

CPU VID StartUp Value..................1,4V

CPU VID Control......................

CPU VID Special Control..............=1.4V

 

my computer didn´t boot if there was something more than in those settings^ ...and I´m sure that the reason is the memorys

 

2,25ghz with this processor isn´t good at all, and the memorys; 225mhz CL2,5 makes me angry :mad:

 

I tried to put more memory voltage(=more voltage, more stable): everytime when I put more than 2,8V I had to clear CMOS, same happends when I try to use: DRAM Frequency Set (MHZ).............

 

...maybe I just have to sell these memorys and buy kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/1G (samsung UCCC) ...this cpu 2,5ghz, SuperPI 1M 36sec

 

...or does anyone else have any good ideas(about what to try now)?

ummm orange slots right ?

If your gonna clock that CPU your going to have to give it 1.55 or 1.6 or your not going to get far

 

Ok I edited it so if the last time didnt work they this one

boths, cpu&ram... but it seems that those memorys are not for overclocking :/ ...1. memory dividers doesn´t work, 2. memory voltage doesn´t go over 2,8V

like I have said before; if I try to use memory dividers the next thing to do is clear bios, same happends when try to put more voltage(2,8V is the "highest" which work)

 

Those new settings doesn´t work, with those settings computer doesn´t go to windows, and the reason is memorys! ...it´s not because CPU, I put 1,703V to CPU, 1,8V to chipset and 1,5V to LDT (cooling air was +2celcius, so no heat problems )

 

 

but does anyone know why the memory dividers doesn´t work? ...and why I can´t put over 2,8V to DRAM :/

...I think I have only two alternatives left: 1. New CPU(what would be good?), 2. Better memory(kingston valueram etc.)

 

Thanks to Wil for helping me, if you or someone else have any new memory settings I would like to try them
