    overclocking 6800 GT

    k8n neo2 plat... and so far i have no probs yet using rivatuner :).. however the only thing i dont like is that no matter how much i mess with these settings, i cant get it to use a 1000MHz memory clock when just doing 2D, its stuck at 370/1.1GHz. oh well ;\

    overclocking 6800 GT

    thanks the both of you, i will try rivatuner. as far as the sound goes, I am using an Audigy 2 and onboard is disabled in the BIOS. Thanks very much for the idea though, every bit helps! As you were also saying, yes, the screen also does freeze. I haven't paid enough attention to the sound...

    overclocking 6800 GT

    Hi, I own a BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC and I'm trying to perform a rather mild overclock. I'd like to overclock it just to Geforce 6800 Ultra speeds, so 400MHz on the GPU and 1.1GHz on the memory. I am using the newest drivers, 81.85 I believe they are, and I am using some coolbits guru3d...

    rebooting/video distortion

    Hey, I have owned my A64 3500+/MSI K8N Neo2 system/BFG Geforce 6800GT OC/Enermax 430W for almost a year now. When I got it, I was able to stabilize my 3500+ 2.2GHz @ 2.64GHz for 31+ hours prime95 stable at small fft. I upgraded from 512MB Corsair RAM to 1GB G.Skill DDR550. I ran the ram at...

    problems with new gskill ram

    I posted on their forum, and they seem to be willing to exchange. But, I am trying first to just exchange with the company in which I purchased from, it may be a bit faster process. I am still hoping it is not my power supply that could cause such a problem, as a few people in this thread have...

    problems with new gskill ram

    John, yes the modules were already tested individually. I could not get either stick to run DDR550 2.5-3-3-7 without failing. This is anywhere between 2.60V and 2.85V. I should hopefully have these modules sent back out by monday. I'm just rather dissapointed as I would have expected these...

    problems with new gskill ram

    Hey, Well I'm glad you finally got your RMA :). Good luck with the return and the new modules. I just finished testing DDR550 2x512MB 2.75V (if i recall) and 3-4-4-10, again, a fail. If possible would you also provide me with the cell phone number in private message, should things with...

    problems with new gskill ram

    Hey, I did try an overvid of 3.3%, but that did not work. I suppose I could try higher. As well, I should be able to RMA via the eBay store that I purchased them from, so hopefully I won't have nearly as much hassle, although I feel very bad for you in your case. On the side, I live in a...

    problems with new gskill ram

    Well, I just finished testing both modules individually at DDR550 2.5-3-3-7 1T (275HTT*9CPU mult) My cpu is capable of doing this as I have prime 95'ed on small fft at 11x240 for over 31 hours. I tested the ram at the above speeds at a combination of voltages between 2.60V and 2.85V as...

    problems with new gskill ram

    problems with new gskill ram

    Wow. I've got quite the conclusion. After swapping the dimm slots to find no luck, I then went and flashed 1.41 beta bios. I proceeded to test the usual DDR550 2.5-4-4-10 @ 2.6-2.85V, with as usual no success. As I was about to enter 2.85V, I wondered if the new BIOS unlocked any other...

    problems with new gskill ram

    welp.. ddr520 @ 2.7V 2.5-4-4-10 gets over 200 errors in about 9 minutes running constant test #5 in memtest86. I will soon test each stick invidividually, to see if both can actually DO DDR550... If I can conclude that 1 stick will not do DDR550, does that mean that I can rule out power...
