i'm talking about the ram on my board. it's not a heat issue because i got a big fan pointed to the side of the pc and i dont think its the rails because the card has it's own molex plug coming directly from the psu and the memory draws the voltage from the board i assume since i modded the thing so i can adjust it manually. the board only gives it 2.5v initially.
before i unloscked the extra 4 pipes i tested the card on 520 core and 560 memory and at that time i had 3.4v on my memory, which i didnt know i did i moved it by accident. i noticed the heat on the ram and turned it down to 3.2v. i had no artifacts. then i proceeded to do the flashing. enabled extra 4 pipes then flashed it to ati 800xt pe bios. it ran doom 3 without a flaw for some strange reasong. when i test for artifacts in the ati tool they are everywhere. increased the voltage on the card from 1.36v to 1.45v, that didn't help. so then i decided to turn down the voltage on my ram and no artifacts, but i need like 3.2v or 3.15v to have my system stable with the oc im running. when i go to 3.2v is the ram taking away voltage from the card and if so how can i get around that. i don't mind soldiering anything anywhere
any suggestions?
