disturbed Posted February 19, 2006 CID Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah i mean, i dont think that you should have problems running that at stock speed with those timings If you ever consider buying new ram, id highly recommend the OCZ El Platinum 3200 (DDR400) Rev. 2 - possibly version v1.0 - since that one uses TCCD chips .... the stock timings are 2 2 2 5 @ 200mhz - and when I run it at 274 I do 2.5 3 3 7 1T - very good ram - will do 315mhz @ 2.5 4 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted February 19, 2006 CID Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've been leaning towards some gskill tccd as its pretty cheap. Im going to put some stuff from my last computer on ebay then get some new ram, for now I guess I'll just have to deal with being unstable. Thanks for all the help though.

disturbed Posted February 19, 2006 CID Share Posted February 19, 2006 np - i mean its very possible that something else might be causing instability - motherboard ? ....just suggesting - even for value ram it should not cause any errors at stock speeds and timings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted February 19, 2006 CID Share Posted February 19, 2006 I don't think it's the motherboard as the one I have is known for good overclocking, biostar tforce 6100 939. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted February 19, 2006 CID Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well it was the ram, one of the sticks is bad so now im stable at 2.9ghz but I still cant quite get 3 yet, I'll just have to play around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted February 20, 2006 CID Share Posted February 20, 2006 so hows that going now - are you gonna get new ram, or !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted February 20, 2006 CID Share Posted February 20, 2006 The 1 good stick of ram seems to be stable at 2.9ghz which I am very satisfied about. Maybe I will purchase some better ram but for now I've got a 1000 dollar cpu for a little over 200 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
