I got 2x512MB crucial ballistix (z402), and I want to overclock my system with it 1:1, no dividers.
Problem is, my best stable setting is at 235HTT, 2.5-2-2-8 2T
With lower settings I might get reboots / hangups.
1T at 230Mhz is also not very stable when gaming.
At 245HTT around that I might get it stable but only with way too high settings. Higher than this I get chance on resetting the bios with jumper after a hangup.
I thought crucial ballistix could do better than this?
What I did:
All MB options on off, like performance / cool n quiet.
HTT multi = 4x, AGP bus = 67Mhz. I tried the mem voltage on both default, and max, 2.85V
I also tested the max. CPU overclock (with very low mem speed), and that went up to 265Mhz stable.
All bios / drivers are updated.
My system:
3000+ venice
msi neo2 platimum
2x512MB crucial ballistix (z402)
GF6800LE
enermax 350W
sblaster live!
1 IDE hdd seagate 200GB
2 SATA maxtor 200GB on SATA 3/4
1 CDwriter. 1 DVDwriter.
Do I just have kinda bad luck, or is it something else?
I was thinking about too little stock thermal compound between the northbridge chip and the fan, but even on HTT multi on 2x I get these hangups on higher settings.
