I am basicly new at this overclocking buisness. I have a 8RDA+ with PC2700 and I am wondering what I have to do to get the memory to 333. It says it is at 266 right now. All my settings are basicly stock because I am scared lol. I want to start messing with these settings and learn to do this stuff but I don't want to mess it up. Trial and error seems the only way to get anywhere though. Thanks for any info.
 
Ok lets start what kind of cooling hsf are you using and what kind of mem. Also what cpu are you using?
 
Here it is

I am running a XP2000+ the memory is 2 sticks of Kingston PC2700 256mb/ total 512mb. Not sure what brand the heatsink is but it is pretty huge I upgraded quite a few levels on it when I got my combo. I have a very cool case. Total of 5 case fans outside of my cpu, graphics, and power supply fans. I do have a fan controler also and my case temp never gets over 79 and my cpu has been up to 115 at the highest I ever seen but I don't know how accurate that temp is I am sure it is higher than that.
 
115 is about 50c or close to thats kinda high for cpu temp . do you know if its a pally or tbred . Also have you tried other mutiplies to see if they change the cpu speed or have you just been using fsb ? In bios there is alot of options so here we go to sites that you can use to figure out what you want to change .
