Hi,
I've just done my first overclock and got my e6700 running at 3.4 ghz and orthos stable. During all my tests I had my ram at sync which was 340mhz and timings of 5:5:5:18 @1.85v - so just to clarify, cpuZ reports this as 1:1 ratio @680mhz.
My problem is as soon as I change the ram speed to its stock speed of 800mhz with the same timings it boots but hangs during orthos. When I used to run everything at stock, the ram ran fine at 800mhz with no probs. I thought that if I was just running the ram at its rated speed ie no overclocking then it would at least run. Is there a relationship to the fsb even if the ram speed is not linked to it. I changed the ram voltage up a few notches but had no luck with this. Any advice is very welcome!
cheers...
