Hello and

to you

First off can I ask what bios, cpu volts, mch and ram volts you are using.

And all so have you given it a go with only 2 sticks.

If your not 100% sure what these setting are please read this thread

I can get the CPU to overclock to about 3.2 but my memory does not to well in MEMTEST

I have only done all 4 stixs!! I thought the more the better!!!

How I wish it was "more the better" it puts more load on the NB running 4

Before I start, I should have all so asked about your cpu cooler, what one are you using

tbearr · Feb 26, 2007

Cooler

Freezer Pro 7
120mm front and rear fan
and also a side fan,, trust me it is cool even the NB,, Cooling not a problem

Should I take out 2 stixs or will i be better of getting what i can with the 4 stixs? If I take them out, what order should I leave the other 2 in? 1 and 3 banks?

Deanzo · Feb 26, 2007

Yep take 2 out and leave 1 and 3 full for now
And see if that helps

Edit: Ive just sent you a pm, but just in case you dont see it I'll repost here.

When you OC'd to 3.2 did you change the Dram Spec to 1:1
