So I got an Opteron 146 to go with my new motherboard specifically so that I can overclock it a bit. I followed Zebo's instructions about isolating and consolidating and it turns out I can run 2.8 GHz stable at 280*10 (FSB*mul). However, I can't adjust my memory to anything close to 200. My memory isn't the greatest and isn't exactly matched:
512 PC3200 Corsair Value Select
512 PC3200 Buffalo CH-5 (i think)
When isolating I could get it above DDR400 to around 220MHz. Whenever I overclock, however, I have to keep the multiplier around much lower. Right now at 2.8GHz I can't run it higher than DDR200, so that's 140MHz memory. If i go higher my motherboard starts beeping. I have the same issue until I drop the FSB down to like 240 or so.
Is there a setting I'm missing some where? Using the latest bios.
