Has anyone else had problems overclocking it I can not even get above stock with my ram at 1600 now if I put it down to 1333 I can go right to 3.8 stock voltage.

Just seems like the memory controller doesn't like it but I thought these newer 965 worked that out?
 
is there a particular reason you need your RAM at 1600? because there is no performance difference between 1333 and 1600.
 
I assume your overclocking is done by multipliers? How many sticks are you using? Try giving more voltages to CPU-NB?

Yeah it doesn't matter I was just curious. Yes there is a performance difference but it's not a big deal.

Tried giving it a little didn't make a difference. I have tried different numbers of sticks didn't help .
 
I would leave it at 1333. Tom's did a test on memory scaling with phenom ii. The DDR3-1600 config won the synth tests, but 1066 and 1333 came out ahead in the real-world apps. Unfortunately all of the systems were within 0.5% of each other.

Yeah I read it a couple games show like 4 percent gains over 1066 but yeah am not worried about it I just wanted to see if other people were having this problem.
 
Am surprised no amd guys helped me with this. Comes to find out it had more to do with cool and quiet sucking , that was causing the problem.

Nice to know that if you have it turned off in the bios overdrive can still turn it on.🙄
 
Yeah cool and quiet will screw your OC, sorry i didnt see this sooner and mention it. My 940BE would only do 3.3Ghz with C&Q, will hit 3.8 without it, takes some voltage though 🙂
