sigh, this is my second pair of platinum rev2's from OCZ, but these ones are v1.0 so tccd =)

but they still fail memtest on test 8

i ramped it up to 230 mhz at 2-3-2-5 and it boots and can run prime95 for 15 min now without errors. should i just try ocing with this pair, even though it failed memtest? or will it cause problems later...

you just have to find what works. if it passes memtest, start OCing.

PSA: just because it passes memtest doesn't mean it will be stable. memtest is really just a good indication of whether or not there is something physically wrong with your ram. slowly start OCing and use prime95 alot.
