ram holding me back.

[frag85]

see sig for rig.

stuck at 290 in prime 95, will boot up to 306, not to windows over 300. pretty much when i have to use a 3:2 divider.

do most ram/MB's just not like running 3:2?

also, anything over 300, unless i put 1.8v to the CPU i get a bad BIOS checksum for my video card, this only happens when my ram is running timings that are too tight for its current speed and voltage, have messed around with both of those with no luck

at a 290 FSB my voltage is fairly low so i am very confident that my CPU could go quite a ways higher, even on air. so is my ram holding me back?

these are the tightest timings i can run, if i go 2.5-3-3-6 i get a bios checksum when it is running over 450mhz.

edit: i also know that some mobo's have problems exceding a 300mhz FSB, i don't remember if the p4p800 is, but is there a way to overcome this if it is true?

omg thats just like my setup im running a p4 2.4 northwood chip outof the philipines and its clocking at 3.54 but same problem when it hits 400fsb it wont go up any further but its proboly cus of the ram...hey acctually can u tell me where to get that thing from cus my shits almost same as urs cept i got a 256 of hyperX 3200 and i just wanna see if its posible to get thies over 3.54 thats the fastest i got it and it was at 31C wit like 5 air cooling fans all small ones like 60-80mm max idk wtf the size are
