Weird happening with my Ram/CPU overclock...

[LIVAN]

Ok here is what I am using..

ABIT KT7A
TBIRD 1.2 GHZ
512MB PC133 Ram

I am able to run this ram at 148mhz x9 = 1333 MHZ with Prime 95 for 24 hours.

When I turn it to 149mhzx9, Prime 95 fails

So I conclude my ram can run at 148mhz

But when I try to run this thing at 148 x 9.5= 1397 mhz...Prime 95 fails in 5 minutes

But I am able to run 142x10=1420 mhz for 24 hours as well...

What is going on?

Why can't I do 148 x 9.5 when the Ram runs 24 hours at 148x9? ANd the Chip can obvious do over 1400mhz.....

Is ur RAM runnning at CAS2 ? If u yes, try to set it at CAS3 (less aggresive RAM timing).
