Help on OCZ ram OC

[noobish]

RAM : OCZ DD2 PC6400 SLI @ 5-5-5-15

Tried OC : 4-4-4-12 stock voltage and it gives me BOSD during Splinter cell double agent after like 15 mins of game play, by far thats the only game it crash me. I Havent ran memtest with it yet b/c i never install a floppy drive and cd burn drive :/ just never use it at home.

Anyone can help me how on how to stable at this timing? like voltage wise ?

i actually read the BOSD now and it seem like my on board sound. realtek audio.exe ect.. something something. anyone have similar problem with their sound drive messing things up?

Wait, you you tightened the timings to 4-4-4-12, when it's stock at 5-5-5-15 ? If you are running your ram at ddr 800, you have to use 5-5-5-15 for the timings, or bsods are gonna happen. If you're ram is running 1:1 with your FSB, which would be 333, and thus ddr 667, then 4-4-4-12 might actually work.

Then I would consider reinstalling your audio drivers, get the latest from the realtek website, and see if the problem persists.

yea i have the lastest drive already and dont seem to find any support or anyone one else have related issue. let me do 1 more test see if its really the sound by uninstalling the sound drive.

Yea about the timing i dont know wth im doin , just ppl say lower the number so i did it and it works i guess lol

and yes speed is at 333 i would post screen shot on here but i dont know how.

You might need to bump up your vDIMM and vSPP. Check what voltage it is running at in the BIOS and then check the manufacturer stats to see what needs to be done. You can run RAM at tighter timings. I'm running my Corsair XMS2 Dominators at stock 400MHz (DDR2-800) and the stock timings are 5-5-5-18. I'm running them at 4-4-3-4 @ 2.15v (manufacturer 2.1v) and I can run them at 5-5-5-12 @ DDR2-1000. It just might be your RAM. Just try running them at stock and see if it fixes the problem.

One can burn Memtest on a CD. GOOG search.

It is possible to drop timing if you have a quality module. Also helps if the RAM is rated at 1.8V at 5-5-5-15. My Kingston DDR2 800 Value RAM shows 5-5-5-18 SPD (1.8V). RAM is stable at 480MHz with 2.1V and 4-4-4-12-2T. Top speed is 540MHz with 2.1V adn 5-5-5-18-2T.

i ram orthos on ram n cpu stress test for over 15 hrs and seem to pass everything so far. Might be just the sound driver that conflict with Double Agent some how, said it on BOSD.

I've checked the manufactor site and they said my can push my ram voltage to 2.3v without voiding the warranty.

What is better though, running at loose timing on 1000 mhz speed or 333mhz on tightened timing?

Orthos does not adequately test RAM!
