gotta do 3.5..assistence!

[SybrCLocK]

ok... here are the facts...
i found out how much i can raise the vcore.. it's 1.600
at 3500, divider 3:2, the computer boots, but never does windows!
at 3400, divider 3:2, i get into windows and in 3dmark it crashes

i`ve read on a thread that 3:2 memory could be a stability problem...
if not, is there any way to get it stable at 3.4 or 3.5?

thanks

raise that vcore a little more but not much....and yeah your ram could be limiting you....you need some mushkin pc3200 or pc3500 and vmodd your bored so your ram doesnt limit you

3:2 @ 292FSB wich is 3500 would have the ram run @ 192.7 mhz... so i don`t see how it could limit it..

and as i said.. at 1.625 the computer wont boot at all :(

thats all your cpu can prob do then...also look at the type of mem you got....if it cant run at its rated speed something is wrong with that too...one or the two or both

ram seems to be limiting the newer chips more and more. i'm a hypocrite but going cheap on ram rarely is a good thing. have you tried fiddlin with your ram timings?

I have to agree...try slower timmings with the same vdimm.
cheap ram sucks.
