Ram Overclocking - OCZ Reaper Edition

2878 Views 12 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  18 is # 1
Ok, my ram is DDR2 800 Mhz or 400 x2 Mhz. My board supports up to 1366, so does this mean I can overclock up to or under that ratting? If anyone can help me get some stable settings, that would be great.

Currently at stock speeds, I think its 4-4-4-16. This ram has massive heat sinks, so I would think it could be a crazily oc ram.

Here are the CPUz stats:

DDR-Dual data rate. 800mhz is what they are running. I doubt your board supports 1366mhz ram, most support 1066 or 1200 at most. Your probably thinking of FSB which is the chip not the ram. You can try to overclock them until you run into stability issues. Also massive heatsinks on ram doesn't necessarly equal massive overclocks.
@ those clocks why are you running such a high voltage? I mean I am sure some of the helpful people here will help. But that makes no sense.

Turn down your voltage or tweak your clocks/timings. How you do? Let others tell you. But at that voltage would be looking at least 1066Mhz.
Just run it at sync with your CPU FSB... If you are staying with the 266 FSB on your CPU, then set RAM timings to 3-4-4-12 2T (might be able to get 1T) with 1.8v. Or you can run the RAM at stock speeds of 400 with timing at 4-4-4-15 2T at 2.2v. Honestly, there is not much point in clocking the RAM much higher than the FSB because then the RAM will have to wait for the CPU.

Sync the FSB and RAM to 1:1 of the base bus speed, and tighten RAM timings, although you will not see much real world difference.
Let me clear up a few things


Yes the UD3P does support 1366mhz DDR2, but only if your modules can make it. Which yours can not.

You did not list the voltage in your post (?). Would be helpful.

And with 1:1 it won't overclock far...

You could start by dropping your CPU multiplier to 7 or 8, so the CPU won't be a problem. Set MCH strap to 333 and memory multiplier to 2.40B. Then start upping the FSB. An FSB of 400 would put you around 960mhz with the 2.40B multiplier.

What you also need to do:
Set timings to 5-5-5-15
Set DRAM voltage to 2.2v
Set DRAM termination to 1.1v
Set MCH/DRAM Ref. to 1.1v
Set Channel A ref. to 1.1v
Set Channel B ref. to 1.1v

Now you can clock the memory up to around 1100mhz, where you will hit a wall. Good luck

Did you look at the CPU-Z screen shots? I mean Am I missing something?

Cpu-Z doesn't list the actual voltage, it only lists the profiles. Maybe you got that mixed up?

Well I don't want to just hit the wall, I want maybe a stable 1000-1100 Mhz.

Where can I get the voltages?

I might of. But OP has to tell us what he set too. I think 2.2v and if running 800Mhz very sad?


Also I do think you are wrong?

You can find all those voltages in the MIT menu in the bios.

That just lists timing tables and manufacturer specified voltage. In no way is that actually reflective of voltage needs or overclocking capabilities of the ram sticks.

Blimey, i'm using 2.2v to run my Reapers at 1120mhz stable!

Why? Have you tried less?
