Guest shaolin95 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Test 5 and 6 seem to be the best ones to really test your mem stability. What are you OC settings ie FSB ? I think you are pushing your memory to hard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daishi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 what the tests do, exactly, is pretty self explanatory in their names. however, as an addendum to what shaolin said: i don't think that we can definately say that it is your memory that you are pushin too hard, however what it takes to get it to stop failing is what will tell the tale. failures, as opposed to crashes, tend to mean not enough chipset or not enough ram voltage. in you case, with onboard mem controllers it's probably low ram volts, but not guarenteed. your current ram can't take the really high voltages, so that is kinda out. what i had to do myself, because i COULD NOT GET A HIGH FSB, is to go with a lower, but 100% stable ram clock, and tighten up my ram timings as best i could. these DFI BIOSes leave you plenty of room for that kind of tweaking (as tedious as it is) you have previously said that you do not care about being prime stable. i understand. it is really tedious to get an overclocked system to be prime stable. for me, because i use my computer of everything, it was WELL worth the effort of having a truely stable system. you might want to get it there yourself, by the time that you are done OCing it.

ridikolous Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 on test 5: i can run my ram at 240x10 with no errors.... but when i run my ram at 236x11 it generates like 20 errors per pass..... what can be wrong here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridikolous Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 oh one my thing its stable to where i can play my games at 2.5 4 3 8. i can play for hours and hours long with no instability... so do u guys think im good to go?

Guest shaolin95 Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Then it must be CPU related I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridikolous Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 but my cpu can overclock to 2.64 without no problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daishi Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 core clock and FSB are not independant. i can hit 2.6 without a problem (13x200) i cannot hit 2.5 (12x208) you can't hit as high a clock with a hig FSB. hell, i could probably hit 3.0 with FSB of 166, but what would be the point?
