Hi guys,
I had just finished building my system today. I had overclock my Q6600 @ 3420 with (380*9) and DDR2 1012 (5-5-5-15). The timing for the RAM is stock since the OCZ Platinum PC 8000 had (5-5-5-15) but only has EVP 2.15v.

My CPU VOLTAGE: 1.40v
My DRAM VOLT: 2.14v
CPU Spread: Disabled
PCIe Spread: Disabled

The rest are all auto

What do u guys think???
Is it safe??

Well here are my settings for 470x8:

Looks good.. Run some benchmarks at those settings then try to run these:
(400*9)=3.6GHz DDR2/800 4-4-4-12 @ 2.00V(the maximus tends to OV the dimms) Re-bench and compare the results.

Hi guys.
Previously I had OC my Q6600 to 3.42Ghz.. Right now I am @ 3.6Ghz and had ran Prime 95 for 6hours and 30 minutes.. Is this Long enough??
I have an issue..
With 3.42Ghz my ram is @ DDR2 1012. But with 3.6Ghz my ram is only DDR2 960.. DRAM voltage is set at 2.14v and timings are 5-5-5-15..
My ram is OCZ Platinum PC 8000 (DDR 1000) @ 5-5-5-15.. This is weird to know that my RAM is unable to go to its own stock speed..
I had apparently only messed with these settings:

CPU Voltage: 1.50v (but CPU-Z only see it at 1.448v)
DRAM: 2.14v (but ASUS Probe see it at 2.19v?????CRAZY)
CPU SPread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled

The other settings are all AUTO..

Can you guys tell me how to obtain my RAM Stock speed?? I tried to up the voltage to 2.2v at the BIOS but I keep on getting the "DET DRAM" at my LCD Poster.. Weird??

Thx

You basically have to play with your FSB. For example, if your FSB were at 250 or 500 (some multiple of 1000), you'll see an option for DDR2-1000.

I'm running at 333 FSB I think, and I have my RAM set at like DDR2-1002 at the moment.

Well, If I were to play with my FSB, Windows Vista Ultimate will ask me to ACTIVATE windows again.... It keeps on saying "Windows Deactivated due to Hardware change".. This is weird..
Even at my setting (400*9), I can see the option to set my RAM @ DDR2 1003. Whenever I choose that option, no matter what I did will never give me a successful post..

This is very weird.. My RAM stock speed is DDR2 1000 btw..

No way man, it has to be something else. I've deactivated the J MIcron controller on another board and it said this, but never with a different FSB. I have run different FSBs many times while testing memory OCs and never had this............

U better believe it cause I find it hard to believe either.. So, u have any idea on how I could be able to achieve my RAM stock speed???? lol

Post all of your settings and I can help you. I would start off by disabling DRAM static read control, leave trans booster to auto, and clock twister to strong.
Set your DIMMs max voltage. Set a decent high NBV, which should be at least 1.55V. I run 1.63V for my settings, and my NB temps never go over 50C. This chipset can take an insane amount of voltage.........and the MCH needs it.

I'm assuming that you are stable at 3.6, so this:
FSB 400
FSB Strap auto
DRAM frequency (should have DDR2-1066 as an option....I thinK)
NBV 1.55V
Check your tRFC for your DIMMs SPD......if it says 52 then you need to leave that as auto. If not, then set it to 42 for now.
Set DDR2 Controller Ref voltage to DDR2_REF

IMO the fastest way to test your memory stability is with SuperPi 32M. This will error out faster than Prime95 from my experiences.........this will save you some time.

Here's a little memory bench.....this is what I came up with after some tweaking.
