ADVICE: E6400 failing MemTest #5

[rxblitzrx]

Memtest #5 at FSB 350 = 2.8GHz....... PASSED
Memtest #5 at FSB 400 = 3.2GHz....... FAILED
Memtest #5 at FSB 375 = 3.0GHz....... PASSED
Memtest #5 at FSB 385 = 3.1GHz....... PASSED
Memtest #5 at FSB 400 = 3.2GHz....... FAILED!! only made it through 1 pass.


Should I loosen the ram timings? or up the CPU voltage (currently: 1.375V)?

Yes and yes.

Memtest #5 at FSB 401 = 3.2GHz....... PASSED CoreV: 1.3875
(The 401 trick really does help. Weird.)


Memtest #5 at FSB 401 = 3.2GHz....... FAILED!!! Only lasted 6 minutes. Then 3 minutes. Possible problem: north bridge overheating???

up your vdimm voltage

It's rated for 2.1V only and I maxed it already. Should I go higher? Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800

Did you try 5-5-5-12 or 5-5-5-15?

do what roguestar suggests. if that doesn't work, try upping the vdimm to 2.2 or 2.15.

Cool thanks. I'm waiting on my north bridge cooler to come in. Will post results later in new thread.
