Had a nice stable overclock of the following:
i5 750 @ 20x200
2x2GB @ 2000MHz CAS9, 1.65V
Added another 2x2GB of the same sticks (which are rated up to 2133MHz CAS9). Got a BSOD straight away so went back down to stock speeds. I'm now running at the following, but it's still a little shaky:
i5 750 @ 20x200
4x2GB @ 1600MHZ CAS7, 1.6V
The memory SPD is rated at:
1333, 7-7-7-24 @ 1.5V
1522, 8-8-8-28 @ 1.5V
2133, 9-9-9-28 @ 1.65V
Are the SPD settings a little too tight when using 4 DIMMS, should I just lower the timings on the memory a little bit? Is there any disadvantage to running the DIMMS at a low frequency (say 1600MHz) at their rated max of 1.65V other than heat/power requirements, even if they don't require that much? Obviously that would be just for testing purposes.
Cheers!
