Hi, I have an EP45-DS3R with a: Q6600 G0 SLACR w/ VID 1.325 (high!), and 4x2GB of Patriot Viper PC6400 ram Newegg.com - Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory . http://hardwarelogic.com/news/134/AR...008-01-23.html
I am having trouble achieving a stable overclock. Memtest on the ram shows that it is fine after 5 passes. I get crashes running prime95 and games, however. Ive upped vcore as high as 1.6 before, but i still get crashes. I'm not sure what the problem is. Right now i am running at optimized defaults for stability.
Here were my settings:
Thanks for taking a look! Please help :)
