need a little help here. just got my new mushkin pc3500 lvl 2 dual pack (2x256) and i imediately tried going to 220x10 at default vcore and ram voltage cause i figured it could handle it. windows would not boot. tried 219, 218, 217, 216. still no boot. upped the vcore and got partly in before it blue screened at 217. also, my chipset voltage was at 1.7 for all of this. normally my cpu can handle 200x11 at default vcore so 220x10 should also be possible right? i'm obviously using aggressive timings because the ram is rated for 2-2-2-6 at 217fsb. even when up ram vcore for 2.6 to 2.7 (my board overvolts 0.1 so 2.7 is really 2.8 which is higher than mushkin is rated for) i still could get no boot at 217. is my cpu fsb incompetent? when i say doesn't boot i get corruption errors sometimes but most of the time it just reboots as soon as windows starts to load. as i said my chipset voltage is already up and it doesn't feel hot to the touch.
any suggestions or should i call mushkin and say what's up?
relevent specs in my sig. using bios 17.
