    Asynchronous Overclocking ram cant handle spd timings...

    I am trying to overclock my 3000+ Winchester, I am able to get at 275 FSB (2.47GHZ) stable, but I chose the wrong ram, (Ballistix) and am unable to overclock synchronously (1:1). In fact, when I put my ram ratio to 133 (2/3 ratio) my ram is at 183 FSB. I cannot run my Ballistix at 2-2-2-6 or...

    Ballistix PC-3200 overclocking

    If you can clock BALLISTIX as good as or better than anand's, why don't you run your setup 1:1 at over 2.5 GHZ it would probably be faster than running it like you are now w/ 5:4 ratio. I wish I had your stix... :) Mine are very poor... now I am running at 250 FSB mem 200:166 with ram @ 208...
