ram overclocking/voltage question

[imported_Conrad]

i am overclocking my e6300 on my p965 neo-f motherboard using core center to bypass the 333mhz fsb cap. i am using crucial pc4300 ram and i have gotten to 2688 mhz with the ram running at 776mhz 4-4-4-12 anything higher and the ram craps out and reboots or gives memory errors. i have the ram voltage set to 1.95v up from 1.85v and it is still cool to the touch so i am wondering if i could possibly bump it up to 2.0v safley?

the ram is labelled rendition but cpu-z picks it up as crucial technology, the memory chips are labelled as follows

64MX8-37 2

0611

You could likely do 2.0V w/o doing the RAM any harm.

Or why not try loosening timings?

Try 5-5-5.

i'll try that again, usually when i do that it causes instability but i think thats more the motherboard then the ram. i just wanna make sure should i increase to 2.0v i don't melt the stuff down.

5-5-5-15 would be a good place to start, with your RAM timings, although you may have to go higher, since you're using PC4300.

used memset965 and changed the timings to 5-5-5-15 see if that helps. just curious i wanted to increase my northbridge volts abit but the only option i have in the bios is pci-e voltage, i thought i heard that does the same thing but it sounds fishy.

i think it is the northbridge, i have increased voltage, loosend timings. so should i increase the pci-e voltage? it seems this is the NB voltage.
