I have pc2400 micron with no ramsinks....epox 8rda nforce2 and a tbred B 2100.
My problem so far is the memory wont do above 150mhz stable, the default voltage I think is 2.63v, I have tried 2.7v but not the next setting up. When I first put it at 166mhz it booted into windows fine, but then started progressivly getting worse as it ran apps. I think they might have got hot, or they just can't handle it. I figured for sure they would do 166mhz at the worst timings, because at 133mhz the ram does cas2 with the fastest timings available without a flaw. Any help appreciated. Do you think if I made some ramsinks, that might help the issue? I know the chip is stable, I can run it at around 2270mhz and it runs fine at 133mhz memory and fsb, my problem is with the memory I'm pretty sure. I have tried to back the chip down to a slower speed by reducing the multi and raising the FSB to 166mhz and it behaves the same way, so the memory is the culprit. Please help me out if you have any suggestions. I may look into new memory even though I was gonna wait until the hammer for that. Suggestions on memory welcome too I suppose.
Thanks
