So I'm having the most hellish time with this. Im running on a AMD Athlon 64 3800+ with 1024MB of Crucial Ballistic DDR400 ram running at 2-2-2-6 1T. I am air-cooled with 4 case fans and stock HSF.
My CPU seems to bottom out at 210(core) * 12(mult.) for 2520. HTT at stock(5). I have the VCore at 1.4750 and the VDimm at stock(2.6000). This is the point where it is 99% stable. I can run Prime95 indef. and Super-Pi the same.
I can't seem to get past this limitation at all. This is my first time OC'ing an AMD as I usually use Intel... I didn't think it would be this difficult.
Can anyone give me any ideas?
I am reading up on Memory timings and I was thinking of trying to run the memory at 333 instead of 400. Or relaxing the timings a bit. But Im still not POSITIVE of how that would affect my CPU.
My goal is to hit, or get as close too, 2600 as I can.
Here is some pictures to give a better idea:
