For some reason, I can't increase the voltage going to my memory socket above 2.65V without getting an alarm from the mobo.
I'm running an Abit AV8 w/ the 3200+ 939 core. Currently, am overclocking stable at 235FSB (1.475 vCore), 4x HTT (1.25 vHTT), rest of voltage stock. The problem I am having is with 2 matched Kingston DDR500 (PC4000) HyperX DIMMs 512MB. I can't get these to run at the DDR400 divider. At this divider, the speed should only be 2 x 235 = 470 which is below the DDR500 that this memory is rated for. I have tried switching between slots 1/2 and 3/4. Note my memory timings are also more conservative than the memory is rated at (rating is 3-4-4-8; I'm running at 3-6-6-10 with the 13/16 increase in the other bios settings suggested for Crucial memory).
I can run more aggressive timing on the memory at the DDR333 divider (2.5-4-4-6 is stable at 235FSB and DDR333 divider). I think I can't run at DDR400 divider because I need to increase the vDIMM setting (I'm currently running at the default 2.65V). However, when I increase this to 2.7V, the alarm on the motherboard goes on and the alarm will not turn off despite rebooting. If turns off if I reduce the vDIMM back to 2.65V. 2.7V should be well within sane values, no?
I am also running the True Blue P/S which I know some people have had problems with. But I just changed it out with an Enermax--same problem...
Frustrating...
