Sorry for the questions but I am kinda new to oc'ing and definently new to AMD and DDR systems. When I set the memory to 166MHz and run it at cas 2 (corsair recommended settings), it runs great. Sandra scores around 2100 or so for mem benchmark (kinda low?) and 3dmark scores 13569. If I up the mem to 200 MHz even setting it at SPD, my performance drops way down. I lose over 3k on 3dmark and Sandra drops to 1300+. I know that is pushing the memory and its not synching with the fsb (all stock/auto settings in bios) but shouldnt I get at least a little improvement instead of the dramatic drops I am getting? I have tried a little fsb oc'ing but I guess I dont wanna push my luck. Only 1 side intake and 2 rear output fans and cpu has retail fan/hs. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions??
Thanks In Advance
