    Memory + FSB + s754 Question

    Yes, faster memory will help immensely with your OC stability. Also, you should probably go with socket 939 as AMD is making that its primary desktop platform, and in addition to dual-channel, you'll increase your long-term upgradeability.

    Koolance EXOS

    I have a Koolance EXOS as well, and I've had no troubles with temps. I have the 300 block on my CPU and 180s on my 6800GT and NB. 41-42*C max load temp at 3.7GHz, and the GPU never gets hotter than 52*C o/ced at 410/1000 (which is great, before the water setup it would get to load temps of...

    Is it my power supply?

    The 6800 is on its own cord. My PSU is a 430, not a 480, and I know Prescotts suck up a lot of power. I also know that the 6800 Ultra needs two dedicated rails for sufficient power, and I'm clocking my 6800 GT at Ultra speeds. So yeah, my guess is power. I'm pretty certain that my CPU and...

    Is it my power supply?

    Well, I'm confused. I have my system running at 233 FSB totally stable under Prime95 for 10 hours straight (yes I had two running, one with the -A1 command line option for 100% utilization). I can run 3DMark03 indefinitely. I have my 6800GT overclocked to 400MHz core/stock memory. However -...

    Question on FSB overclock and RAM stability

    Sell it, hopefully. Want it?

    Odd overclocking results...anyone know why?

    That's not necessarily true. I have some Corsair PC3200 XMS RAM, and while it could handle a 220MHz FSB at 1:1, a 230MHz FSB would crash until I changed the ratio to 3:2, where it barely loaded Windows before crashing. I just upgraded the RAM to the sticks in my sig, and have no trouble OC'ing...

    Corsair XMS OC?

    I just upgraded from that exact RAM. I could get it stable at a maximum of about 220, but with heavy artifacts in 3DMark03 CPU tests. I had to reduce the FSB to about 216 to get it running stably with no artifacts, and when I upped the FSB to like 230 or 240 it wouldn't even POST with the...

    Question on FSB overclock and RAM stability

    Alex - thanks, that's pretty reassuring. I'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow :) gmkmay - I did try that, didn't do much. I powered down and touched the northbridge heatsink and it was warm to the touch but not so much that I couldn't hold my finger on it. I think it's fine...

    Question on FSB overclock and RAM stability

    Yeah, my first reaction was PSU too. I looked into it pretty thoroughly, and finally, on another board I post on, one of the users who had basically the same system as me told me he had the same PSU and had no troubles with reboots. From what research I've done, I know that the PSU should have...

    Question on FSB overclock and RAM stability

    Well, I can't do looser timings than 3-4-4-8, that's as loose as it gets. What I'm asking is, basically, is my RAM what's holding back my overclock, or does it sound like something else? I can upgrade my RAM if need be to get a 3.8 (or even higher) overclock, but I'd like to know with...

    Question on FSB overclock and RAM stability

    I recently got a Koolance EXOS water cooling system with the CPU 300 and GPU 180 blocks, and it's doing its job well. I know it's entry level and noobish, but it's my first time using liquid cooling so I thought it would be a good place to start. Anyway, the first thing I wanted to do was...
