2x1GB OCing ram, suggestions needed

Thinking about purchasing two of these and dual channel OCing them. Anyone have any experience with these modules? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a...9&CMP=OTC-pr1c3watch&ATT=System+Memory

2x1GB OCing ram, suggestions needed

Looks the issue becomes whether or not to push good PC3200 past SPD to overclock or get PC4000 and underclock it while tightening the timings. What's better?

2x1GB OCing ram, suggestions needed

I'm looking to put in 2GB of memory into my Asus A8N and I'm thinking about doing some light/medium overclocking. I'm in the process of getting a Thermalright XP-90 and Panaflo 92mm for the cpu as well as doing some case moding etc.. But what I lack is ram, I've found 4x256 sucks for OCing as...

Anyone have ASUS A8V Deluxe?

I too am interested. I would most assuredly switch memory if those tests were to prove successful.

Help! Asus A8V deluxe rev2 + Crucial Ballistix problem...

Yes, I know. My system does indeed run stable stock =P... I've been too busy playing games to really start pushing the parameters from stock by 5MHz and testing completely etc.. Maybe this'll be a good project when I'm on Spring Break.. In the meantime, gotta take pics of my Asus V9999GT in...

On my board there's a 1:1 and a 2:1. I think the 2:1 is 1:1 for everyone else, but my 1:1 runs at 100MHz if the HTT is 200MHz, so I don't think that's quite right for it "being an issue" (=.. or maybe it is?

Criminy, I have four sticks of ram, and not only that, crappy value ram. So with all my dimms being populated, that would probably explain why things are so unstable past 200MHz. If I have it at 3:2 and leave it well below 200MHz I can run it at 1T, and I guess since memory frequency isn't...

I've used 5:3 and 3:2 mostly. Even if I go down to 1:1 where ram would never be an "issue" that really defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I mean, what's the point of OCing my CPU is the ram runs slow?

Thanks for replying. So far what I've been able to accomplish is OCing the HTT to 230MHz with the 10x multiplier and having it somewhat stable. I haven't run Prime95 on it for 12 hours yet, but it ran 3 hours without errors. Seems my CPU doesn't like going past 2.3GHz which kinda sucks, but...

I have a rev2 that came with 1008.003 already on it. CPU-Z said 1.xx and I got nervous so I looked on the actual motherboard near the PCI slots, and it said Rev2, so phew =P But I flashed it to 1009.007 and it seems to be working alright.

GuitarDaddy, that's pretty good for your ram man. Mind if I ask what kind of ram it is you have? My ram isn't very stable past 200MHz, but I'm not surprised, I bought value Kingmax ram.. (even though it's PC3500, rated for 234MHz it doesn't pass memtest past 220MHz or so..) Right now I'm...

Alright, the results are in. I couldn't get anything to run at a somewhat stable state until I upped the VCore to ~1.6V ... I thought that was a bit high for a Winchester, so I don't know how to explain it. A curious observation I made is this.. when I change the VCore in the BIOS to anywhere...

Hi all. A very interesting discussion indeed. I have an A8V w/ a 3200+ Winchester, and I've had exactly similar problems when it comes to ram. Although I made a really bad decision going with Kingmax PC3500 (4 256MB chips) I haven't gotten my ram stable past 200MHz. Currently I'm running...

Which Socket 939 board, that is not nForce4 chipset, can run 4 sticks of RAM @ DDR400?

Alright, well, sorry for sounding so ignorant. I've just started getting into this, so sorry for frustrating you =\... But if the "Reference frequency" were 250MHz with a multiplier of 10x to make the CPU core frequency 2.5GHz, what does that mean for the ram frequency? Like I said, I've just...

Asus 6800GT 128mb - sell on or keep?

The same thing happened with my Asus A8V Delux mobo.. defaulted to DDR200. And I also bought a V9999GT, and I'm sooooo disappointed. I'm going to sell it ASAP and buy a real GT, any recommendations on which brand GT to get? Hopefully one I can OC to Ultra if I decide to? =P

Asus 6800GT 128MB???

I actually made the mistake of buying the V9999GT. It is trash. Besides Asus' proprietary monitoring software (Smart Doctor) detecting random voltage spikes, the card was disappointing. I can't RMA it because I threw away the box *sighs* so I have to sell it and then buy a real GT. Any...

So what do you all suggest, getting two sticks of 512MB ram that's PC4000 so I can comfortably OC my HTT to 250, let's say, and have the ram at 2:1 is a good idea, no?

Booting from SATA optical?

Yeah, I don't get it. My friend's mobo (also an Asus, but for his XP) has this SCSI/SATA option where you enable it and then you can have that in your boot order. My BIOS doesn't have that, and the BIOS version I have is 1008.003, which I thought was the new one. So I don't know what to think...

I've been with Viewsonic my whole life, never had a complaint. So if you do go with an LCD, I wouldn't doubt the quality of the one you're looking at now.

Booting from SATA optical?

Sorry, to clarify, I meant to say that I can change the boot priority for my IDE drives, like the HD. But I can't do a boot priority for SATA because it doesn't have a master or slave or anything like that. So I'm really wondering how to make it boot from CD when the BIOS' boot goes straight...
