memtest stable, not prime stable

Well I am tryin to overclock my 4400+. This is the situation. I really want to get 4800+ speeds that is my final goal. Well I ran it at 2.3 and it was prime stable for about an hour, till I turned it off. Then I went to 2.356 and I did 10 passes on Memtest test 8 with 0 errors. Now when I run prime, one core crashes in the first minute. My voltage currently is at 1.39v? Should I up the voltage? My timings are fairly tight, but memtest didn't show errors, so could they really matter right now?
 
probably voltage. almost always voltage, actually. but if you wanna play with the timings i guess that wouldnt hurt.
 
what kind of ram do you have?

i take it you want to get there at a 11 muiltiplier
it might take a bit more juice i have a 4400+ as well i could only get it to 11x214 or so on stock voltage and one core would give out. thats just the way it is. you can bump up the juice a tad to hit 2400 easy. I have one core that is a little flaky as well. i just run it at 10x250 at around 1.47 volts. i run the 250 since i can get more out of the ram :)
but just bump the the voltage. some people even take off the ihs because the x2 some of them they dont make good contact so one core usually craps out fast.
good luck!
 
thanks buddy, I'll bump up the voltage I hate how inaccurate the MB and smartgurdian volt meters are.

Oh, by the way the ram is OCZ revision 2 platinum 3200.
 
in memtest use test 5 instead, I hear that is the best way to test your memory timings.
 
figured it out guys. Test 8 showed no errors while test 5 went all to hell. Well right now I have it at 2.4 with 10hrs of prime stable at 1.49 volts. Gonna try to get abit more, if not i am gonna see how low i can get on voltage. The PWMIC is really starting to get warm now.
