ok sounds good
i better get to sleep soon too
school tmr morning

damn that sucks
for tmr maybe relax cas settings if you havnt dont so already

 

[zeusfaber]

they are at 2.5 and i dont think i can change then any in the bios. i think i can only increase them. what should i do?

its under DRAM timing control

you have:
sdram cas latency: biggest possible
row precharge time: biggest possible
ras pulse width: biggest possible
ras to cas delay: biggest possible

sdram 1t command: Disabled
Fast command: normal

next the voltages

its under Frequency/Voltage control

disable spread spectrum
up the DDR Voltage (v) up to 2.6v...if same problem exists up to it 2.7v

i looked and the timings are only adjustable if i turn on the optimum settings then they are cas 2 and wont boot windows, in any case thats going the wrong direction, so i geuss 2.5 is as low as i can go. im going to change the ddr voltage in a bit. can i increase the vddr without changing the timings?

OK,
the cpu is @ 1660mhz
the vcore is @ 1.85
vddr is @ 2.6
the fsb is @ 166
the mult. is 10x
the spread spectrum and sdram 1t command is disabled
the fast command is normal
the ram is @ cas 2.5
the precharge is 3t
the ras pulse is 6t
the ras to cas delay is 3t
under no load the cpu is @ 36C!!!
underload its @ 40C!!!

and everything seems stable (its stayed on long that last time, lol)

hopfully thats it, ill let you know either tonight or tomorrow
thanx for all the help!!

no problem

another program is memtest86
it stress tests the ram, kinda like prime95 for cpu

if it passes both, the only thing to do is push on further and experiment with new combo's when you have the time, as you know for sure which overclocked combo works

have fun
