Hello All!
I have checked all the FAQs and read all the stickies, but I still have a problem...
I just upgraded to an AMD Kuma 7750, OCZ reaper 1066 memory (2x2gb) and the Asus M3A78-EM motherboard.
I have an Nvidia 9800gtx, and am running windows 7 x64, build 7057.
here is the problem:
I can either get a nice, stable overclock by setting the multiplier to x15, resulting in 3ghz. Runs Prime 95 fine, no problems. However, this ONLY works with the ram at 800mhz, ganged.
OR, I can get my memory up to 1066mhz ganged, by not OC'ing the processor at all. This configuration will also run p95 just fine.
However, with the multiplier set to x15 and manual memory settings (2.1v), The system is completely unstable.
Am I missing a voltage issue, What?
Why does cpu-z show that the EPP mode of my memory show a "needed" voltage of 2.2v (which does'nt work either.)?
Surely there is a way to OC my processor AND have my ram run at 533mhz (1066)??
And, if there is not, I am WAAAY better off running the processor at 3ghz and the memory at 800mhz, correct?
Thanks in advance for your time,
