RAM overclock

[ActiveMonkey]

How high can you overclock Kingston DDR400 ram? I have it running at 2-3-3-6 @ stock voltage.

everything you buy 2 will overclock differently
only way to find out how high is to try

I got my DDR433 (2.5-3-3-7) to DDR440 (2-3-3-7), but never tried higher. It's now down to 3 something because of the 5:4 ratio switch. It was OCZ though, but it all depends. Just give it a whirl. go up step by step and run a memory test.

I like to use the Windows based memory tests, but others prefer the more thorough DOS test (memtest86).

well, it is working at 2-3-3-6, what should i try to put it at?

any ideas???

I got my generic ram ddr400 to ddr450! slow 3-3-3-8 timings tho, but timmings dont have nearly as much effect as raw clock speed.

well, on my mobo you can't control the RAM clock speed directly.I have to change the CPU Host frequency. Then i can change the DDR:CPU Ratio. Over all it is kinda ghetto but it works. Here is the pic.

its like that with all mobos... ram speed is determined by fsb through a divider

As for you o/c ... Im sure with 2.9v's you might obtain 420-440 mhz outta them
