Okay I have tried a few different settings trying to get the highest OC out of my 1700 B on the 8RDA+ with 2 Elixer 256MB PC2100 running Win98 with the memory running SPD settings. I have had this config up to 177 x 12 with 1.9V and it was running fine but I got Prime errors after 30 minutes or so. I took it down to 166 still got errors. Now at stock speeds and voltages I am getting Prime95 errors. My temps are between 32 - 39C under load with system temps at 31-32C no matter what speed I am at. Do I have bad ram or is it something else? Any help will be great, thanks. :)
 
Hmmmm. Even at stock you get errors? I have never seen that before. Have you tried a lower multiplier? Also try taking one stick out at a time and testing again.
 
hum,,, were you getting error's before you overclocked the hell out of that ram???

try what that guy said about, putting a chip in by itself and see if your getting errors on both or only one,,,,
 
I didn't clock the hell out of the ram, I kept it at SPD so it was running under 140Mhz according to the bios. I am running with 1 stick at 10x100 right now with no errors so far.
 
Okay so I have run both sticks at stock voltages and speeds and both ran for more than 30 minutes in Prime. I stuck them both back in but in different slots and I am running Prime again. We'll see what happens.
