nice 1 !!

so i have OCZ3P1600 4Gk, 1600mhz 7-7-7-20 1T@ 1.92V..
is it good or i need to change it to 1333 and get 5-5-5-24 1T?

NB = 2.2ghz (mobo can't go more than that

)
HT = 2ghz

Sorry for late response, I haven't checked this thread in a while.

Most likely you can not achieve 5-5-5 timings @ 1333mhz. You should be able to pull off 6-6-6-24 or around 6-6-5-20 @ 1333mhz and be able to raise the NB some. I'm surprised your NB speed can't go higher

yea i meant 6-6-6-24.. so which timing u recommend me? yea im getting asus crosshair iiI so NB to 2.8ghz or even higher shouldnt be so hard..

Start off with 6-6-6-24 and slowly tighten the timings (ex go 6-6-6-24 to 6-6-5-20, then if that is stable 6-5-5-20, etc..). My ocz kit that was rated 7-7-7-24 @ 1600mhz did 6-6-5-20 @ 1333mhz. Every kit is different though, juts play with it until you get the best speed.

does the HT Link speed the same for ddr2?
if so, i need to lower mine fast!
should NB-CPU speed be as fast as possible!?!

I have messed around with ddr2 and it also likes high northbridge frequency and lower HT link. I don't know what NB-CPU speed is but your NB frequency should be as high as you can get it, and keep your HT link at the stock of 2000mhz (or maybe 1800mhz, I'm unsure on that processor) for best performance.

how do i know if the ram isn't stable?

Run some memory intensive benchmarks like Everest, Prime95, LinX, or Memtest86+

so as you make things faster things go faster, i think i get it

yeah dude, run prime blend and memtest86 if you want to be really sure

so when it's not stable, will BSOD?
