ok i got my pqi turbo 2x512 DAH overclocked at 225mhz with 2.9volts. it passes memtest with no problems or errors but when i go to try to run 3dmark05, it craps out and my system is restarded. the highest speed i can run 3dmark at is 215mhz and even there, i get lower fps and lower 3dmarks05 than when it was at 200mhz.
now, im not a benchmark ***** or anything like that but having just built this system, i dont have any games to test it with (world of warcraft sub ended, need gamecard; still downloading hl2 off steam) so im using 3dmark05 to see how it does. im just afraid this problem in 3dmark will forshadow problems i will face when these games are installed.
now my oc settins when this happened was...
HTT: 225
multiplier : 7x (9x is stock)
ht multiplier (right word?): 4x
memory was at 2.9v and timings were at first set to auto but then later set to 2.5-3-3-7.
i tried multiplier at 9x after thinking it was my cpu but no, same problem.
any ideas on whats going on? bad ram? i thought about that but it did pass memtest...
