RMA'ed Plat Rev2's still will NOT overclock?!

[apu673]

Ok I previously had a pair of 2x512mb sticks of OCZ EL Plat Rev2's (v1.0 TCCD), and they would not overclock to anything no matter what I did. They weren't even prime stable past 4 hours at stock, so I had them RMA'ed. I tried all types of advice on timings and voltages on these sticks. So I just got back a new pair of v1.1 TCC5, no big deal. They were prime stable for 2 hours, so I thought finally some good sticks, and i've been running them at 250mhz with the below settings, and at 2.6-3.0vdimm, it fails within 10 min. What gives? Could it be a corrupted install of windows, or a bad graphics card (new x800xl that doesn't run games without artifacts but i dont know?). I'm ganna continue to run these sticks at stock settings to see how long it goes in prime, maybe these sticks are fine but it's something else. :confused:

Try the things I changed..

 

Tony is right if you wanted a guarrantee then you should have bought faster ram..

 

Overclocking is NEVER guarranteed its just a bonus..
