When using low latency memory (i have crucial ballistix DDR 500) - underclocking the memory can cause stability issues.
All tests are with a x10 CPU multi
The system was was fine at a cpu speed of 2200 and a 9/10 memory divider
(mem 200, FSB 200, x10 multi)
Was also fine at 2400 and 8/10 (approx) divider
(memory 199.2 hz- FSB 240,x10 multi)
But I could not run the system stable at 2500 with 3/4 didvider.
(mem 187.5, FSB 250, x10 multi)
But increasing the divider back to 8/10 (and lowering my LDT) allowed my CPU to run 7h of prime 32.
(mem 207.5, FSB 250, x10 multi)
What i'm basically saying is that running my ballistix memory at less than 200hz was making my system unstable.
It would have been easy to assume that the problem was with the CPU, and that I was trying to clock it beyond it's limits.
