Vdimm...when to raise?

Just like it says. At what point should i raise my ram voltage?

Running p95 on stock Vdimm, 1.65 Vcore @200x11.5, going strong.

When your system becomes instable i guess, just like the other components.

When you become instable at a FSB because of memory speed.

Sometimes raising the dimm voltage will allow you to tighten memory timings at a given FSB.

After you go through overclocking and hit errors in prime95 or booting into windows. Narrowing the problem down by running the memory at different async frequencies will help, as will backing off the CPU oc. It is hard to completely and comprehensively OC a system to the max as there are several variables not limited to FSB, CPU, cooling, mem, voltages and PCI buses. The best you can do is find the limits of each of your components in turn, in this case memory and bump until it gets to ridiculous voltage levels.

Get a number for the max your memory can do with ordinary voltage, increase the voltage, run memtest86, if no errors then increase FSB in say 3mhz increments until memtest generates errors. Wash, rinse and repeat.

I really should make a flow diagram of the OC algorithm lol.

what are some safe voltages that for the ram? right now im using TwinMos ch-5 PC3200 at stock voltage with timings 6 3 3 2

As long as it doesn't get too hot, about 2.9V seems to be the max. Do it up to this or whatever you will be comfortable with.

hmm i think 2.9v is what its on now at stock...

hehe trying to squeeze 2.5Ghz outa this baby

Nevermind, the stock Vdimm is 2.6.... will raising it help prevent 100000 errors i get in memtest86 LOL ? or do i have to back down on the FSB to get rid of the errors and how much of a problem will the errors cause?
