post the rest of your system specs please...I've been searching alot on forums and cudnt find anything like this thread.. im glad i found it, now u guys can help me out.. Im new here and just started posting..
I have a Q8200 overclocked to 3.3ghz OCCT stable.
Now i want to go higher but im having stability issues, i see some of you people have OC'ed it to 3.5ghz...
Anyways, i get crashes and system freezes.. I have a Corsair DHX 2GB 800Mhz rams (2x1gb).
Is my ram holding me back?
People with 3.5ghz on the Q8200, what rams are you using? 1066mhz?
thanks in advance
^Thank you very much
Q8200
Asus P5Q-E
Asus Silent Knight 2
2GB CORSAIR DHX XMS2 800MHZ (2 x 1gb) Dual channel.
ATI HD 4830 DDR3 512MB
Cooler Master 600watt PSU
My ram timings are 5-5-5-18.
The max they overclock to is 950mhz from 800mhz.
I have tried out 6-6-6-20 still cud not get it above 3.3ghz.
Silent knight is a pretty good HSF... As the temps of my Q8200 idle around 50 and overclocked at 3.3ghz and 100% load the max is 68-70.
