Overclocking Mushkin 2*512 Duall channell

[chrisb57]

THIS is my spec 3100 sempron THERMALTAKE AQUARUIS111 COOLED
mushkin 2*512 duall channell v2
Abit KV8 PRO
Galaxy 6800 GT
120gb hitachi

I have been unable to match the review of this ram on hexus overclocking
my mobo only goes to 1.8v i can get 209mhz at stock with 1.8v at 2.2.2.5
the review says 217MHZ. the highest ive had at 2.5.3.3.7 is 227MHZ THIS IS WITH 1.1 RATIO
Ive ran this stuff at 333 while the processor is at 400FSB I can get to 255
then theres no more room this is at 3.5.5.8 CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP
is it the 1.8 that is restricting me or my mobo ive tryed running the ram at 266 at 2.5.3.3.7 thinking i could brin it all the way up too 227 but it wont do it . Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Which Revision KV8 Pro?
Are you running 1T or 2T?
Also, which BIOS as the general experience with 19 seems to be a loss of 10-15MHz off max compared to e.g. 17.

Ive reverted back to 17 bios ive now got at stock 200fsbT2
2.2.2.6 220FSB wich makes it easier to O/C 5 TO6 OR THE T1/T2 TIMINGS

If it is this Mushkin you are running it tighter than spec. which may hold back your memory bus speed. Have you dropped your LDT multi?

2T should let you run a higher memory bus speed but with less efficiency so you will have to test which give you better overall performance - 1T at a slower speed or 2T at a higher speed.
Remember that on AMD64 you don't suffer from running memory ratios so nothing to stop you running the CPU at e.g. 10x240 whilst running the memory at 200 (166 ratio).

As for why BIOS 19 has such a marked drop in max. HTT freq., who knows?

Btw this is a worthwhile article on overclocking AMD64.
