Ste Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 You may have to change the RAM timming or Voltages to allow it OC more. As to what they should be changed to, I got no idea, ask one of the OCing buffs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 There's about eight thousand different flavors of XMS3200, so can you be more specific as to the model and timings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misuta_Yancha Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I bought this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Are you running stock timings and/or voltage? Maybe try relaxing the timings a bit just to see if you can get into Windows and see what's going on. You could also run Memtest at stock settings and see if you get any errors.

swifty11212 Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 for the sake of computers, dont give it 2.85vdimm, my pos corsairs died on those after 2.85vdimm after 5 months... yeah corsair blows, but on the plus side, no one's tccd ram can compete with the fx line of tccd from g.skill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 more liek mmmmmmmm... old school mushkin redline rated at 3.5+ volts... 603053[/snapback] I'd rather have the Geil that can do ddr600 at stock voltage with only a slight timing increase. If only I could do that with 4 sticks running. <_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
