I bought a new rig with the contents of my signature, i oc'd it gradually and got to 2.4, however any higher and on bootup jst before it types DMI Pool..... it freezes and reboots. i think it might be my ram as it is value Corsair ram with poo timings, but im not sure... i need advice tbh

If you post us your bios settings and voltages it'd help alot mate.

But have you tried lowering your htt? and also u could try uping the vcore up a bit and adding a devider for your ram.

I will get the specs posted tomorrow... pretty stupid of me to not post them lol

try increasing the dram voltage to 2.7 or 2.8

 

[JourneyMan]

i had i tther onces and got told it was too much

 

[|talian $tallion]

well isn't 2.6v stock?

If it is your not gonna be able to overclock that memory much with stock voltage, so you probably have to set a memory divider

 

[tytlyf]

these settings will be for 2,900mhz. Your memory should boot fine also...

290 x 10
HTT x 3
VID+VID special = 1.425+110% (1.568)
Memory timings 2.5-3-3-7
CPC enabled (1T)
Memory voltage 2.7-2.8
Memory divider 150

If this doesn't work, just lower your FSB (290) to say 280. Leave everything else the same..

 

[JourneyMan]

thanks for the advice, i shall try

 

[JourneyMan]

neah those settings didnt work... perhaps i got one hell of a DUD cpu :|

Edit: i did get to 2.32 though

Did you try running a divider, value ram normally doesn't get to or past 220mhz.

 

[Evil-Mongoose]

Yea run a devider, and make sure u've adjusted your htt to x3.

 

[JourneyMan]

my htt is at 3x and my divider is set to 180 ... are you suggesting i increase my divider?

 

[JourneyMan]

thing is i took my ram down to 100 so that it was completly out of the equation... yet i still couldnt get past 2.32

 

[tytlyf]

I said set your divider to 150 ...you have it at 180 now. Your cpu should work with my previous settings, if it's not, then you aren't setting things properly.
You could try 280x10...or it could be the board really doesn't like the value ram.

 

[ThaWaxShop]

what bios are you running and what slots are your memory in orange or yellow

i did when i tested it, when it didnt work i set it back
(i think its the value ram... lol so glad i didnt buy it in the past half a year)

my memory is in the orange slot as it is just 1 stick. my bios is OCZ Tonys DFI nF4 704-2bta

 

[ThaWaxShop]

try running a 2t command and putting it in the #1 yellow dimm

 

[JourneyMan]

how do i run a 2t command?

Edit : really sorry for my n00bism into overclocking
