SAJBAMA Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Ehm,memtest.55 is not that hot,ok it is but what voltages have you got?arent they too much or too low for the overclock you have?Run memtest for a couple of hours and see the temps and see if you get any errors.

Waco Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 You didn't stress test...what did you expect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoray Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 ive been running this setup for about 2 weeks straight hours of non stop gaming with room temperatures up to the 90's and its never once had a problem not one. But it did last night in like a 60degree room and all my other temps were good. I havnt gotten a chance to stress test it since because im at work but i got temp probes in 2 places on my ram now ill give it a shot when i get home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAJBAMA Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Overclocking without stresstest is usually a bad idea... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoray Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 my idea of a stress test was to bump it up and game the hell outa it lol. where should i get a program to test it i didnt see a memtest55 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 my idea of a stress test was to bump it up and game the hell outa it lol. That's not a stress test. Download IntelBurnTest and watch your temps when you fire it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rud3bwoy Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Well with 8 gigs of ram your going to have to push major voltages into the nb to keep it at 1066 or if not it will down clock all the sticks to 800 mhz due to the fact that all your dim slots are used and being put pressure on,when u oc try to use 4 gigs of ram i bet you get a better over clock. tho on 8 gigs of ram i was able to clock it to 1062 stable for 1 year at 3.76 then after a bios updated it was not stable no more for some odd reason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoray Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 my mem is at 1123 at the moment i dont know about the voltages but i swear my stuff was set higher i think it turned it down after it crashed.... i thought my mem was at 1193 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
