Corsair PC3700 help

[KVWire]

I just got a new P4 3.2E chip. This chip will go up past 3.85 with only a 1.475 v increase. My problem is that my system has Corsair PC3700. I want to run at 1:1. Corsair says it will run at 233 fsb, but Prime95 give me errors at 228 fsb and above. I'm set at 3-4-4-8-8. 2.85v. What else can I do to stabilize my RAM and get my fsb up as high as possible? Should I turn off Turbo or performance acceleration mode or USB legacy? What about Spectrum Spread? What do I loose if I do?

Thanks for your help.

so go in your bios and give then at least 2.8 volts and see if it help :)

I'm up at 2.85, max for my mobo. I fail right away on prime95 at 231, but so far (20 minutes) I'm OK at 230. I just don't know what else to tweak.

Thanks.

Does anybody know if turning turbo off or spectrum spread will help stabilize my RAM? Any other settings that will help?

feed the ram with more voltage, if it does not work then you are stuck, change the timings or update the bios..............

Thanks Mata, thanks Minion. I'm at max volts and on the latest Bios. Oh well. Just a bit frustrated that I have a CPU that can go so far and can't use it. I'm going to have to save up for better RAM.
