Overclockersdream Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Ok as you can see I own a pair of 1gb (512x2). anyone know How high can Crank the FSB with this ram? also when ppl write things like the following 250 mhz 2.5-2-2-5 2.8v That means 250 FSB or the memory Frequency is at 250mhz? Because I'm Thinking if I Keep my total Memory frequency at 200mhz each or 400 mhz in total my ram should be able to hold up and i can crank my FSB to 270. i KNOW My porcessor can handle it. but will the ram hold up w/o any risk of damage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you are stock votls you'll be fine - but I doubt that ram can hit 270mhz. You can try, but I dont think it will post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBalrog Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I have a pair of PC4000 and I haven't hit past 260Mhz But yes 250Mhz 2-2-2-5 Means 250 FSB and 2x250 = 500 Memory bus. And without upping the voltage you can not dangage yoru ram, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent uP Rage Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) You have PC3200 right? I don't know about that, but my Ballistix PC4000 has seen 295Mhz. so, I'd think 230Mhz 1:1 would be doable. IT doesn't tend to like a lot of voltage though. Mine likes 1.55-1.6V. Any more than that and it weird things can start to happen. But you shouldn't really damage it until 1.7+. Also, try a divider. With a 5:4, you could get your FSB to 250Mhz(if your chip will do it) and have the RAm running at 200Mhz. That's what I did with my old 2.6/HyperX PC3200. On a 5:4 div, I could run 250Mhz FSb all day. At 1:1, it wouldn't go over 217Mhz. Edited May 15, 2005 by Pent uP Rage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBalrog Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 You have Ballistix runnign at 1.5 Volts? DDR not DDR2 right? DDR is in the 2.5-2.8 Volt Range. Also I haven't loosened my voltaged that much so i'm not sure how high my ram will get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigears Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 i got 2x512 pc3200 balistix. i can't get my fsb past 215 without it hanging. i've also got the voltage at 2.75 and i've read that balistix is rated up to 3v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
