| Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On Ok, you are doing it wrong.
You need to set the RAM 1:1. Choose the lowest divider. If your FSB is at 333, then the lowest divider is 667 (because the RAM is double data rate so the RAM frequency = 2 x the FSB frequency) If you are running 1:1 the RAM will always show double the FSB.
There is no need to set the timings to 6-6-6-18. Just set them to whatever the manufacturer says they should be set to, and make sure you set the voltage correctly as well.
The reason for all this is so we can find out how high the CPU will go without having to worry about the RAM holding us back.
So, to recap, if you have the FSB at 333, the RAM should be at 667, and as you raise the FSB some more, the RAM frequency will also increase, so 350FSB would give you 700Mhz RAM and so on.
Once you find out where the CPU limit is, and it is stable, you can then start playing around with the RAM speeds, but get the rest stable first. |
