Actually... it's not stable at anything above 11.5x166. I have my nForce2 board now, A7N8X, and it does better than with the KT4VL, but I can't get a decent overclock AT ALL. I've tried using conservative RAM timings and all that... tried backing down the overclocking on my video card. I'm at a loss... I don't know what else to do. Increasing Vcore doesn't do anything... I can't even get it to run 12x166 with 1.750 volts... it always locks up in games... white screen, then it reboots. Maybe it's my bargain RAM... but I don't know... I don't get any errors in Prime 95... I've run Memtest and the RAM checks out fine... you wouldn't think just raising the multiplier would cause the RAM to screw up, so I don't know what the deal is.
It's running 33 C idle, and I believe 38 under load... so it's not a heat issue. I'm starting to wonder if it's an issue with my power supply... it's an Antec 350 watt that came with my Performance II Workstation Tower. If I raise the speed of the CPU, or the video card, I get those crashes. Oh well... I'm happy with the performance of it... just a little disappointed I can't get it to overclock any better than this.
