I belive my ram is toast

[GunnerMan]

Well I finnaly figured out why my FSB will not go over 220Mhz. My ram seems to be toast. I put ram on a divider, put HTT to 3x and CPU at 9x and set FSB to 230, boots like a charm. Leave dividers the same and remove divider loosin timings to 3-3-3-6 raise voltage to 2.7 will not post. CMOS clearing required. :bang head Theyy run stock fine so is it safe to sell em?

[Reefa_Madness]

Yeah, its safe...it won't hurt you a bit.

Now the buyer on the other hand, well that's a different story.

All kidding aside, if you are referring to the set of OCZ in your rig, then as long as you make it clear that all you can guarantee is no DOA and that they run default settings then I would say that they could be sold. The good thing is (and I speak from personal experience) that OCZ will warrant those sticks to subsequent buyers, not just the original purchaser, unlike some of the other module makers.

With that transferable lifetime warranty, any future buyer can take comfort in knowing that if those sticks were to die, a replacement set is but a few short emails away.

Ok thanks, off to ebay scence I KNOW no one in there right mind here would want em hehe.

[GunnerMan]

Ok well I tried something, I tried 230 Mhz with 2t command and I got a post. Could it mean my San Diego has a worst mem controller in the world? My other system is broken so I cant test the ram over there. Guess I will wait and see.

[GunnerMan]

Turns out my ram isint toast, I just went back to older BIOS and I am typing this at 230 FSB 2.7volts 2.5-3-3-6. CPU at 2.53Ghz :D

[Reefa_Madness]

Are those the v1.1 with TCC5 or are they a TCCD set?

[GunnerMan]

I belive they are TCCD they have no ver number. Anyways i spoke to quick the 230 FSB was about as stable as a horse on ice.

Your PSU is also kind of weak for the stuff you have in your system. How many amps does the 12V rail on your PSU have?

[GunnerMan]

Not sure on the amps. They seemed to discontinue the model at Antec and I would need to take out the PSU to tell. It is a TruePower.

[GunnerMan]

Ok im about the only poster in this thread but anyway, I have gotten it to boot at 250 FSB with the 704-2BT BIOS but its not Prime Stable.

What...Steve and I don't count??? :)

Also, the information requested by Steve about your PSU's 12v rail should be visible without having to take the PSU out if I'm not mistaken...look on the label/sticker on the side of the PSU.

[GunnerMan]

Ahh thats true, need to look on other side. Ill look today.

[GunnerMan]

Ok update here is my PSU power and it is totally bad on the 12V. here are specs

Max: 5V= 36A, 12V= 20A, 3.3= 28A

Yeah the 12V is low. Might I recommend this PSU, as prolly Steve would too:) :

[GunnerMan]

Now im kind of mad I just got a cheap 40$ psu for my other computer that I don't OC. I shoulda bought this instead and put this Antec in there. Oh well I can probably sell this Antec on ebay for 40$ lol. Just tryin not to spend money lol.
