I know that the mem board probably gets a lot of qeustions like this; but let me ask them and if you have mercy you will help me.
I have some mushkin DDR 400 and I was woudnerign about Overclocking
(I HAVE READ THE GUIDE AND HAVE SPECIFIC QUESITONS)
Okay I have the timing in my nf7 set to optimal and I know that it makes the memory slower but lets the FSB climb. Im going to be getting a xp 2600M soon and may go as high as 500mhz fsb (im on water, and might be dreaming, but I want to know)
Is there any way ram can handle that? I know thats, what 20% overclock. Bassically how high can I push my ram, its nothing special, but how far, keep in mind 1.7v is my max and Im not volt modding. so what do you think, am I going to max out at like 420mhz? or am looking more at 460mhz? I have no idea,
And also, what is the damage factor? CPUs can take a beating of Voltage and Heat before they die. But what about ram, how carelful should I be? if my max Votlage is 1.7 then can I break it? i really can't afford $200 for new ram so i need to be safe
Thanks!
