Dominator quad 5-5-5-15 @1066 Help

[grahamdunstan]

Hi there ih have 4GB quad kit Dominator - 8500C5DF G @1066 5-5-5-15 .

 

my cpu Q6600 OC to 3.48 QDR 1500 MOBO asus striker extreme Bios 1305

 

what i would like to know is the best settings for ths ram all i seem to be able to get is 5-5-5-15 2T trc 18 @800 2.225v

if i put the voltage to 2.2 the computer gets the BOSD just B4 it goes onto the desktop and thats the mem @700mhz

 

what voltage can these dim's take would i be safe to put up the voltage more to try for faster speeds or could that fry them.

i would like to even get 1000mhz with 4-4-4-12 all help very much welcome .

 

Thank you in advance.

Memtest the sticks at stock speeds (1066 @ 5-5-5-15) and see if that gives any errors. If so, you're in for an RMA I'm afraid

try trc higher... like 20 and up... maybe 23...

ok i will try both these things that you have said iam unable to test untill thursday so i will let you know waht happens.

 

thanks for the help .

 

PS what about the voltage on these should i keep them at the rated vplts or when overclocking them is it safe to put it up abit say 2.3?

Hi guys thanks for your help i have now got my ram running at 1.2Ghz 1205mhz 2.2v @5-5-5-15- TRC-22 i found if i went to 23 it would not boot after 1000mhz bringing it down to 22 has made loads of diffrence.

 

However i seem to have hit a wall now at 1205Mhz if i was to set the RFC-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP would i be able to get it to run even faster again ?

 

Iam so glad that it was not going to be an RMA.
