are these good timings

[badaphooko]

kinda new to overclocking .. can anybody tell me if these are good memory timings 2-2-2-7? i really dont know. can they be better? and why wont my motherboard go past 200mhz it lets you go up to 250 mhz but when i raise it, it goes right back to 200 mhz

a lot of boards/memory have trouble getting 200 fsb stable
2-2-2-7 timings are pretty fast
i have found 2-2-2-6 to be the fastest for most nforce2 board
but if you want over 200 you will probably have to losen your mem timings and up voltages on the nforce2 and memory

those are about as fast as you get get, only things better would be 2-2-2-6 or 2-2-2-5.. you might just have to mess around with different fsb and timings and run some benchmarks to see what works better. 3-3-3-7 may end up giving you higher bandwidth @ 250fsb than 2-2-2-7 @ 200 fsb on your system, you never know

Many Nforce2 boards actually 2, 2, 2, 11 are the fastest timmings and is less stressful than the others stated Try it and see how it goes.

ok ill give it a try .. thanks fellas

Pretty good timings/ tho maybe the ram will do better, I have mine at 2225/8 on a p4p800

i got my mushkin pc3500 level 2 running at 2-2-2-4 at 200fsb just like in that anandtech review.

yeah i think the 512mb sticks have a greater chance of not hitting high speeds, especially when you got two of them
most all the big overclocks are done with smaller chips
kinda like a trade off cause the mem is only as fast as it's slowest transistor
