yo I could use some help with setting up my memory for overclocking, I know this is not the overclocking section but this seems like the best place to post. Well my problem is when I overclock my CPU (E8400 @ 3.0GHz) to 3.3-3.6 GHz i have no trouble running CPU exclusive benchmarks but any RAM and CPU bench will fail, the problem is the timing is running to tight at 1:1 Ratio all though the ram is rated for 400MHz FSB, I read up DDR timing and tweaks but when I opened my BIOS I had a shit load of options I know nothing about, well I tried changing setting to the loss 400MHz setting from what i saw on CPUID, and the test failed even faster
Well i hate to wine in every ones ear about my problem but I can't find any direction with DDR2 and changing the timings, all Google give's me is DDR2 whole sales and BS like that and the DDR Thread here is a little out dated and hard to follow so I'm asking, no begging for some help, direction or a up-to-date thread or how to DDR2 something or other, anyway this is what I'm running:
-Asus P5Q Turbo MOBD
-Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz 333FSB 45nm Xigmatek HDT S1283
-Corsair XMS2 2GB (x2) 400FSB
-Asus EAH4870 Dark Night TOP
-Antec Earthwatts EA 650 Watt
Hey and I'm sorry this is another dry post asking for help with no end in sight but I'm really hitting the wall on this issue and I'm now starting to think I need to buy faster RAM when my current RAM will give me the overclock that i want.
Thanks -Kato
