I've come to a conclusion that under overclock the system runs most stable when the RAM is running at the next available frequency(faster) than 1:1.
To test stability i used one custom test. The test consists of looping any mpeg-1 clip in WMP(any version) or any other player that uses windows default mpeg encoder (ex. ZoomPlayer) while running OCCT in the background. I tried simply OCCT(8+ hrs) & Prime95(12+ hrs) too, but no error occured. But with my test the system locks up. I tried it on both XP sp2 & Vista all drivers & BIOS updated.
Few examples-
FSB - Memory clock mode [unlinked]
FSB(QDR) 1600Mhz
Mem(DDR) 800Mhz (here its 1:1 ratio but not stable a/c to my test)
Mem(DDR) 854Mhz (next available frequency after 800Mhz resulting stable)
FSB(QDR) 1715Mhz
Mem(DDR) 857.5Mhz (here its 1:1 ratio but not stable a/c to my test)
Mem(DDR) 915Mhz (next available frequency after 857.5Mhz resulting stable)
FSB(QDR) 1800Mhz
Mem(DDR) 900Mhz (here its 1:1 ratio but not stable a/c to my test)
Mem(DDR) 960Mhz (next available frequency after 900Mhz resulting stable)
Now the question is - is this only limited to my case ?
