hallo everyone, i know that my pc is obsolate but it works for me, here is the question i have
the mobo is gigabyte ga g31m es2l
the cpu intel e5300 @ 2.6 ghz
the problem comes here, that mobo is known to have millon oc problems, mine was fixed when i removed one ram stick
i can achieve speeds withought problem even at 3.6 ghz with the mormal voltage! but then i have to underclock my ram from 400 mhz to 370 cause the mobos multipliers are 2.66 3.33 and 4.00
3.12ghz is perfect stable with 240 fsb 3.33 multiplier and 800mhz for ram tested with prime 95 with max cpu temp about 60c under full load
now my mobo wont accept 300 fsb so the max i found stable is 280 with 2.66 multiplier and 745 mhz for ram, with that i can go up to 3.64 ghz cpu if i want but it gets a bit hotter and i am not comfortable with it and i dont like the ram underclocked.
So here comes the question, should i go with the normal 2.6 ghz and 3gig of ram at flex mod (2gig+1gig)
or its better to go at 3.12 ghz cpu and 2 gig of ram single stick? or any other suggestions
