Sup all: Specs: 2gb A-DATA DDR2 667 Vitesta RAM Infinity 975X/G EVGA 8800GTS C2D E6600 ZalmnCNPS 9700 OS - Raptor 74gb 16mb Storage - 500Gb WD Question: I built it for a friend. Overclocked in small incriments. ended up going up to 2.8... thats not bad i understand that its the memory that bottlenecking it im fully aware of it but my questions are. could changing the timings of the memory be feasibly? i kind of want to get this beasty to 3.0-3.2 latency for memory is 5.5.5.15 1.8v all i did was touch up the CPU FSB to 310 and it clocked it to 2.8 anything after that it searches for MAC address im unaware what that means when it searches for mac after that... through the nic... so i guess that means that i technically isnt posting first time ive overclocked so be nice i definately did my homework on all the parts tho 3DMark05 - 13782 Overclocked 3Dmark05 Overclockeded @2.8- 14979 also CPU-Z doesnt recognize the change. at first it did then clocked down. what else should i read up on to help overclock this? if its too much trouble re-direct me to the right location thanks im here all day; my college is snowed in enjoy your day guys.

be sure to check out this thread...sounds like you need to lower the divider would be my first guess...the e6600 should go to 3.2 to 3.4 easily
im realllly leaning towards memory bottlenecking. but can i change the voltage of the CPU? undercharge it to set more fsb? ESA i guess when he comes back from leave we will have to upgrade the memory
hmm wheres the divider? and memory timings from 5 5 5 15 to 6 6 6 (something) what are the individual timings name? so i know i dont mess it up ? which timings please ESA
you definitely need to read the threads on the top of this forum before you really screw something up...i linked you one of them...
shoudn't be a ram problem. even no brand ram can go as far as that. you shouold upp cpu voltage and play around a bit. for more info, check out xtremesystems forum
