I have heard before in my many hours of browsing the [h] overclocking section that its pretty easy to take 2100 up to 3200. I wanna do this to get my system to its full potential with my new Thermaltake Silenttower heatsink Now to do this what would I have to do. I know I have to increase my ram voltage, (I do have heatspreaders and blower fan on my ram now) but what to 2.7, 2.8? My timings are 8-3-3 I think and what sould I put them as to get the full ability of my ram. Also how will I know if ive put the voltage or timings too high? Thanks.
you need to keep your timings (particularly the latter 3 digits of 2.0-2-2-6) as tight as possible. CAS doesn't make as much difference as many people make it out to do, tRP tRCD and tRAS are the most important memory timings. 2.8v is usually well within warranty limits for most memory modules, check the individual memory manufacturers specs for confirmation of this... you can get away with +/- 5% so technically 2.9v is fine for day to day use, while still keeping a warranty.
Set voltage to 2.8 and set my timings to 7-2-2, booted and beeps, had to reset cmos. Whats this about?
It means that your RAM can't handle the tighter timings. Try 6-2-3 or 7-2-3. Or more volts (if your balls/motherboard allow for it).
you more than likely won't be able to lower the timings to 7-2-2-2.0, try getting 7-2-3-2.0 or as close as possible... what memory do you have? If you can tell me the memory, I might be able to tell you the IC's and what they're capable of.
my PC-world PC2700 is running at 2-2-2-6 @ 2.9v what does the 6 want to be at? im still confused by that number...
