I've been struggling with overclocking for the last two days and I've come to the conclusion that my Corsair Value Ram just wont cut it for overclocking on my chaintech VNF4 motherboard
Whatever I do I cannot get the FSB past 230. Lowered the HT to 4x, even 3x, and I get a blue screen/restart every time windows begins to load. This leaves my memory at 5:6/383 mhz with a measly 3500 mhz overclock for my a64 3500.
Tried upping the voltages, installing different bios's, loosening the timings to rediculous amounts. Nothing... Cant get it past 230.
So I've decided to send the memory back and order some performance stuff in hopes to fix this problem. I dont want to spend too much money, but I want something that gives me the ability to overclock my computer to a decent level.
What would you guys recommend?
