    Memory tweak necessary question

    Using beginners luck, I have overclocked my Intel Core Duo e6600 to where it is running stable @ 3.51 GHz (9 X 390.1). Most settings were left on Auto however I was a little concerned about the 1.456v Core Voltage. The manual says 0.85 to 2.1v, and I have read of others using this value in the same situation so I left it alone. I manually set the CPU PLL voltage to 1.50v. My idle temp is 30 degrees C and my Core temps never go over 50C when running flight simulator.
    My question is: I have not done anything to the memory because I don’t know much about it and don’t understand what I do know. Should I do anything the tweak my memory? It seems to be running pretty well like it is.
    Here are my settings:

    DRAM Frequency 390.0 MHz
    FSBRAM 1:1
    CAS # latency 5.0 clocks
    RAS# to CAS# Delay 5 clocks
    RAS# Precharge 5 clocks
    Cycle Time 15 clocks
    Command Rate 2T

    My Rig:
    Intel e6600 Core 2 Duo @ 3.50GHz
    Noctua NH-U12P Cooler
    ASUS P5Q Pro
    OCZ Reaper 2X2GB DDR2 800 (PC 6400)
    EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640 MB (O’Clocked)
    WD 250GB GB SATA II
    Corsair CMPSU 550W
    Windows XP home

    Re: Memory tweak necessary question

    You could probably do one of two things either tighten the timings to say 4-4-4-12 or increase the divider to ramp up the speed a bit those modules will handle more than they are rated for, you may even beable to do both
