Well this is the first time I really overclocked and these results are confusing me I dont see how it works my temp has not changed at all but my performance is up BTW the cpu is air cooled. System info is in my sig and I thought 2700 ddr only ran at 333 max and I got it cranked to 400 mhz I ran memtest86 it had no errors and after i booted to windows prime95 had an error but i bumped the cpu voltage up to 1.65 and let prime 95 run for an hour with no problems. Now I am wondering if I could go higher or if Ill mess something up of i go up any more. Anyway heres a SS of my results let me know what ya think.

You're running good ram, and right now you're overclocking it. That's fine.

This, however

Erg, I'd really run it for atleast 12-72 hours to ensure you're running stable.
 
doing pretty good. now just keep going:)

you may need a voltage bump on the mem to get much farther, but there's only one way to find out for sure. good luck.
 
how much voltage is to much i really dont want to fry the ram it cost more than twice the price of my chip.:eek:
 
try 2.8 volts. it should be enough for you. it also should be safe (unless your memory turns out really bad, which it doesn't look like it will)
