Only 2.5 on my 4800+

[phantom404]

Curretly I can only get about 2.5 GHz on my 4800+ x2. Is this because I'm running 4 mem sticks(I know stupid) But if this is what is limiting my OCing then I want to know so I can upgrade to 2 1gb sticks. Thanks!

Have you tried lowering your memory multiplier?

If you think 4 sticks of memory are limiting your OC, you can try with only 2 sticks in. (just take 2 sticks out and test. While at it, loosen the timings also.) But my guess is your board is the limiting factor. Have you checked your VCore in CPU-Z? See if it dances.

What is your PSU?

Well what are you doing to OC? You need to give more detail. As a side note....500GBx2 SATA2 in Raid 0 != 1TB of storage it equals 500GB.

haha. STick to OT man. its RAID 1 that mirrors, not RAID 0. RAID 0 is disk striping.

OP, That can easily be shown by changing your RAM divider down to 100 MHz, if you can OC further, then your ram is holding you back. Also, try lowering your HTT multi to 4x.

Make sure you set command rate to 2T.

It should be booting to 2T by default with 4 sticks of ram, and wouldn't be stable even at stock speeds with 1T. But yeah, check that too.

I always get them mixed up.
