    Can bad RAM lead to processor instability?

    I am in the process of RMAing my faulty kingston hyper-x ram (won't run 100% stable even at default settings), and I am noticing my 2400+ won't do 2.5 ghrz stable anymore :( I've been trying to burn in this processor for about a day now and nothing is working. Could it be that the...

    What's the best ram for around 200?

    Makes sure it isn't Kingston, I am having the worst experiance with them ever. What I need it to do is atleast go up to 210fsb and low latencies. Thanks

    Urgent help with a Vdimm mod I did on my nf7-s

    I did the mod to give my ram more voltages, but nothing changed in my bios. How do I give my ram more voltages? I am pretty sure I did this correctly since nothing has blown up and I double checked to make sure I soldered a wire to the correct pins.

    Vdimm mod for the NF7-s Rev 2?

    Can someone lead me to this. I want to put 3.1 volts into my kingston hyper-x pc3200 so the damn things will go to 220 fsb stable. Also, what is considered *too much* in the world of RAM voltaging. I have heatspreaders on my Hyper-X and even at 2.9 volts, they just get warm. Thanks in advance

    Voltage question

    I currently am running 2 volts into my 2400+ M so I can get 2.55 stable, my question here is, I feel that I can get more mhrz out of this baby with some more volts. Would it be a good idea to do that (I would never go above 2.5 voltages)? I am running it on a thermaltake volcano 12+ and it...

    Would there be any point in having a divider for my RAM here?

    Ugh, yeah. I quit. I can't get a divider that will help me out here. The closest I can get to 400 mhrz is 360 (my fsb is at 230, I can't go higher) and performance is worse. Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with the AXP dividers?

    Would there be any point in having a divider for my RAM here?

    Is there any problem that I might see? I've heard that the n force 2 chipset doesn't like dividers.

    Would there be any point in having a divider for my RAM here?

    My kingston hyper-x ram blows chunks (can't go above 205 fsb at 8-3-3-2.5 stable) and I have been forced to settle my overclock for my 2400+M to 2.55 ghrz (204x12.5) becuase of it. My question is, would there be any increase in performance were I to have a higher fsb with a divider so my ram...

    PSU problems

    I recently bought a thermaltake purepower 420 watt psu and it's been randomely restarting, my computer. I looked in motherboard monitor and apparently my 12v rail idles at 11.73 or 11.80 and itloads to even 11.6X. My initial thought was because I had 1.95 volts pumped into my cpu and 2.7 volts...

    My CPU passes prime but

    My fsb ram ratio is 1:1 and it's running at 10-4-4-3 (haven't tried lowering those at all).

    My CPU passes prime but

    yeah, it's 2.6, I am raised it to 2.7, and I still have thememory cannot be read error in counter-strike source (but I guess a lot of people are having that problem). I'll see what Call of Duty gives me later.

    My CPU passes prime but

    My system seems to be not stable. It's weird. I keep on getting memory cannot be read errors in Half Life 2 and CSS (either that or it will exit itself out) and in Call of Duty, it will crash to desktop. I have my 2400+m at 228x11 @ 1.95 volts, it's completely stable according to prime95...

    The Prime 95 fallacy

    I hate people who are so paranid about Prime95. Prime95 is an excellent tool that I often use. But I only let it run for 30 minutes and if it passes that, it's stable for anything. I have never ever had a problem doing it that way.

    FX-55, OEM vs. Retail. Which is better?

    OEM should be less because the OEM version just comes with the processor, nothing else. No warranty, nothing. Link?

    Quick voltage question

    I want to get my 2400+ perfectly stable at 2.5 ghrz and I believe I can reach that at 2.00volts. I have a thermaltake volcano 12 extreme so cooling is not a problem at all :P IN fact, I never go above 116*F So is 2.00 volts fine for my cpu? Will it not explode?

    Raising fsb past 220 on an abit nf7-s

    It seems that I can't raise my FSB past 220 when I am seeing people with the exact same processor boasting speeds like 280x9 (don't remember specifics but bear with me). Everytime I raise my fsb above 220, my bios alarm goes off. And I read this entire article about this guy who got his...

    The Prime 95 fallacy

    Personally, I feel that my computer is stable after the first test (the 8 kb one or whatever). I've had my system like that forever and it has only once come to bite me in the ass (cod crashes after like an hour). I would like to have 100% stability but if it means the difference between...

    Advice for new PC for niece

    Hell no. Get a 100 dollar ABIT or Asus mobo and a 420 watt thermaltake psu just to be safe. Even that would be cheaper than your combo and more efficient.

    I have it at 200x11.5 right now. It seems pretty stable. I ran 3dmark01's Mother Nature test for about 30 minutes with now errors. I am gonna see how it works under Doom 3. Maybe I might be able to get it up to 200x12 This is an amazing chip. I am idling 100*F right now on air!
