2 seperate BH-5 sticks run at 260 but wont run 250 in DC
I have ran Stick 1 and Stick 2 by themselves up to 260FSB at 3.6v. Windows will boot and I can do a run of 3DMark01 with no problems. When I put them together to run in DC even with 3.8v at 250FSB windows sometimes wont load, and if it does 3DMark01 is completely unstable. I'm using the OCZ DDR Booster for the voltage.
I have the VTT chip heatsinked, NB has an NB-1C, the SB is passive cooled and my case has decent airflow. I'm no expert but it seems to me none of that should matter anyways if I know for a fact each stick is capable of 260FSB at 3.6v but wont run 250 in DC at even 3.8v.
