I recently built a machine on an NF2Ultra Xpc (sn45g) platform using a 2500+ Barton and 512 MB Kingston HyperX PC3200. The idea was to run the 2500 at 2.2ghz as many have been able to do.
Anyway, I set everything up, default voltages at a 400mhz FSB, and the timings at 2 2 2 6 as advertised, and I could boot, but prime95 would fail after a minute or less every time.
I tried a lot of things, increasing core voltage, reducing the multiplier, and got nowhere. Finally I tried other timings and got it to work at 2.5 3 3 8.
Anyway, my question is, does anyone know why, any ideas? Should I RMA the memory, or try something else?
