I have my Corsair XMS 256MB RAM & FSB at 185mhz (rev 2.1). The computer gets a lil buggy after that. I'm a newbie at overclocking so I don't know if I need to adjust the multiplier, vcore, or what. GC68 & low speed Panaflo on the CPU.

When I had my 8RDA+ 1.1, I could only get it to around 190 stable. I even tried active cooling on the northbridge, but it wouldn't go any higher. This was using Corsair XMS3200LL, too.

My 8RDA+ does 200fsb fine, but I needed to add active cooling to the nb chip. And sometimes the lan and/or sound still got flakey when it got too hot.

I could hit 218 Prime stable with the old bios. With the new bios I can't get it above 210 Prime stable. I thought about adding active cooling but why waste money when I can hit 200 easy without any problem.
