Hi guys... I don't consider myself nor a newbie nor an extremist. Please bare with me...
I tought I was upgrading when I traded in my 2x512MB Kingmax PC4000 that were running 1:1 at 245fsb. When I bought these G.Skill modules, I thought I would be able to run at a lot higher fsb than before, though before I had 2x512, and now 4x512mb. OK, so these G.Skill are supposed to run at default 275MHz 2.5-3-3-7 1T.
Today I learned that if you use 4x512, you cannot use 1T, so I'm stuck at 2T... OK.. I can live with that...
As of now, I have tried a million combinations to get the memory stable at different fsb speeds, different voltages, different timings (3-4-4-8 i.e.) and until now, I can't get anything going past probable 245mhz worth discussing. I got tired of seeing Prime95 send me errors after 1-2min of processing, so at the moment I am running with AUTO settings in the Bios (they're at the moment running at 225mhz, CPUZ tells me), just because I got tired of freezes and reeboots and wanted to post this here....
What am I doing wrong? Is there anything I should know I dont? Voltages fromn 2.7-2.85, different timings from 245-290MHz (I want to go 1:1), different CAS settings, etc. etc. People everywhere else are hitting super speeds...!!!
In my signature you can see my mobo and the rest of the details. Please gimme a ray of hope... What can I do? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Carlitos
