Value ram max OC

[almach1]

I have my kingston value ram 3200 running with no memory divider with the ht running at 226. The speed i believe is around 220mhz and the timings are 3-3-3-8. I've run prime 95 stable for about 6 hrs(that's all i had time for).

should my memory be able to handle these speeds for a sustained period without frying. I'm actually thinking i can OC more. If i want to run faster that 2.5 ghz in the future i'll set the memory divider to 366.

run memtest86.

/thread.

i ran memtest from this site http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ it ran fine with no error for over two hours
Do I really need to run the standalone memtest86. I guess i'll just bite the bullet and burn it to a CD then.

It sounds good to me... I'm pretty sure there is no way that the ram would "fry;" but if it were not stable your PC might act weird, in which case you could just lower the HTT. Priming for 6+ hours and still looking good is always a nice sign. I find that S&M catches my memory errors just as Memtest does so you might try that.

Lower your LDT mulitplier to 3x. if your total HTT is too much over 1000MHz then it gets unstable.

my mobo doesn't list it as a ldt multiplier it has instead a LDT Bus speed. it has options from 1000 down to like 200 mhz. i'll set it to like 800.

set it to 600, thats 3x. Trust me, with 4x you're already getting near that 1000MHz mark...

i'm gong to try to OC a little further later today. so instead of trying to run the memory past 220mhz i'm just gonig to use the divider and try getting back to 200 stock..
