Crazy seti times with XP2000

[killem1x1]

I just upgraded the XP1800 in my A7V266-E mobo with an XP2000, also placed a new stick of crucial in it. (2 perks from my job

Checkout these I'm running at 146x12.5/13, and the times are much worse than they were when I was running 151x11 with the 1800 and generic RAM. I'm using the same RAM settings, and I can't figure it out. The only idea I've had is to try the chip in a different system, and seeif it's just a "bad" chip.;but I can't see a chip just working slow?
Checkout the attached txt file for some of my times before the upgrade and you'll definately be able to tell when I swapped.

That's cuz seti loves high fsb. The higher it is, the better and faster seti runs.

Unlock the chip. Crank the voltage to the ram as much as possible. Crank the FSB up as high as possible, last step crank the multiplier as high as possible. You should get to 166fsb if your lucky (assuming your cooling is good, and maybe the Crucial will hold), and you should be crunching in 3 hours or so.

Now this is defnately strange. I didn't change a thing, and look at these times for the last few w/u's. Just over 3 hrs.

On the Individual Stats page you can see I dropped from 50WUs
a day to about 35WUs a day. I think a bunch of us just hit a batch
of hard WUs.

Let it crunch for a week and see what happens. But Yodums is
right about his OC method.

Yes, I definately agree with a higher FSB giving better times, and have unlocked my 1800, and my 1900, just not the 2k yet, because I was able to maintain (within reason) a farely decent FSB at stock on both of those other chips. I ran them for about a week, with each at the highest FSB, and dropped the multi by .5, and then a week at stock with the highest FSB, and the times avreaged better at stock. I'm sure my RAM was holding me back, so I purchased a stick of crucial, but that didn't perform any better than my generic stuff, I'm sure it's more reliable in the "ling run", but didn't allow a higher FSB.
