I am trying to overclock my 3000+ Winchester, I am able to get at 275 FSB (2.47GHZ) stable, but I chose the wrong ram, (Ballistix) and am unable to overclock synchronously (1:1). In fact, when I put my ram ratio to 133 (2/3 ratio) my ram is at 183 FSB. I cannot run my Ballistix at 2-2-2-6 or even 2-2-2-10 with any stability. I was able to get one benchmark in of 3dmark 2001, but the rest froze. Prime95 fails in under an hour, and I am frustrated. I don?t know if there is another factor I am not considering in my overclocking, I think my CPU is stable because I am able to run at a lower ram ratio or loosen my ram timings with Prime all night. Again here are my settings I can run with stability:
MSI K8N Neo 2 platinum
3000+ @ 275 FSB x 9 (2.47 GHZ)
2x512 Ballistix PC3200 @ 183MHZ (2/3 ratio) 2-4-4-10
Enermax 420W Noisetaker
HTT 3x / Stock CPU voltage
I would probably be fine with some DDR550 but honestly who has the money to spend on some TCCD based memory after spending about $250 on Ballistix. I don?t know maybe I could sell my Ballistix on EBAY.
Anyone want to trade for some G-Skill or Corsair DDR550? Just kidding? this isn?t a post to sell my ram, but to fix the issue I am having with not being able to overclock because my ram won?t run 2-2-2-10 @ 183.
Weird eh?
