About 6 months ago I bought myself a nice stick of Kingston HyperX PC2700 512MB. Up until now it has been running perfect at its default speed (333mhz) but i was recently noticing a lack of FPS is several of my fav. online games so i figured i would overclock my computer.
First of all, when run with 166mhz fsb the memory reports no errors in memtest and runs flawlessly. Today though, when i went to 175mhz fsb the memory reports anywhere from 1000-90,000 errors in the last 2% of Test 5 in memtest. I have tried relaxing the timings, changing the seating of the ram chip and increasing the voltage. Every test scenario reported the same errors, no matter what i do. I cannot understand why though........ can 9mhz to the fsb make the memory that unstable? i was really hoping i could push 200mhz fsb....... but until i get some help - i don't think this will ever be possible.
i have an 8rda+ nforce2 mobo, athlon xp 2000, and a geforce3 ti200.
is there anything i can try?
has anyone had these kind of problems before?
