Overclocking XMS 3200 LL ram, need help

[dxkj]

ok I have it at

2 2 2 5 @ 200mhz right now, stock voltage running great


Has anyone overclocked this at agressive settings and had any luck? I did 2 2 2 5 @ 201 stock voltage and couldnt even boot

Try pumping up the voltage to 2.7

I could run any non-3D stress stably at cas 2-5-2-2-1T up to 210MHz at 2.7V, anything higher required me to relax timings ot 2-6-2-2. Didn't test the theoretical max though, as my 9700pro/A7N8XD refused to do any 3D over 195MHz, so I didn't see a point. Running at 190MHz 2-5-2-2-1T now at 2.6V. Just an FYI, going over 2.7V voids your warranty with Corsair.

my bios allows me to do 2.63 and 2.77, is 2.77 ok or nay?

2.77 should be fine...

I would post in the HoH forums and address it specifically to Ram Guy. That's the official Corsair tech support forum and is moderated by a Corsair Rep who answers questions specifically (as well as direct RMAs and such). Before voiding your warranty I would apprise him of your situation and what his advice would be. Its worth poking around in there a bit as well if you are a new Corsair XMS owner. There's 5 or 6 diff. Corsair forums there, a bit light on substance/traffic, but still worth a read thru for a general overview of issues.

Do not go higher than 2.8v, your warranty will be voided. This is straight from Corsair's tech support at the HoH forums. I run my XMS PC3200 at 2.8v without any problems. Just make sure your case is well ventilated and circulates air properly.
