Using the rig in my sig, I've overclocked my ram to 265mhz with 3-4-3-8 timings and the cpu to 2906mhz using a 9 multi. I've orthosed it for over 8 hours with no errors.

Today, i tried to tighten the timings (over the stock 3438) and I kept getting memtest/32m superpi errors. I then brought the timings back to the 3-4-3-8 and i still go the errors and realized it isn't "stable"

I've also done hours and hours of gaming with virtually no crashes or problems.

So, what should I do?

Also, Im using 2.8volts in bios but the board over volts to 2.87 or so
 
your RAM is UCCC chips which dont like voltage... usually 2.6-2.8 it is possible you are overvolting them. Also yuor sig says 275mhz which is more than most UCCC can do.. mine can only do 260 3-4-4-4 2.6v

when you ran orthos did you run blend? maybe your RAM isnt stable, run mem test and see
 
yeah it was blend. Well, right now I'm running it at 264mhz.

I just remembered that after i orthosed it (and i could superpi 32m dual) i changed the chipset voltage down to 1.5v. Im testing at 1.6now because Orthos failed in 20 mins with the 1.5v chipset.

I'll keep you updated.

Thanks for the voltage tip

what settings are you using for your opty + ram?

EDIT: after some more investigation, I'm currently at 2906mhz 1.425v bios (1.4 windows) and 244mhz ram 3-3-3-8. Anything more/different setting you could recommend?
 
alright, i pass memtest with 244mhz 2.5-3-3-5 and all the other settings tweaked

now to orthos for 12 hours :)
 
although i pass 600% memtest, I'm getting errors in blend orthos after about an hour. Actually, I came back and got the old "windows has recovered from a serious error" msg.

Although I have played hours of gaming and no hitches, should I be worried?

What should I do?

Some people are fine if the system will do what they need it to do without errors. Others are more demanding... unless a system can run 24hrs (or 8 or 10, or 12 or whatever) dual prime (for dual core systems) or Orthos stable, it's not ready to be used at that speed.

If you want a stable system... stick with the highest overclock you can get that is PRIME/Orthos stable (for at least 8 hours, imo)
 
its really annoying now. I can't pass orthos for more than 1.5hrs without my computer restarting and displaying this error: "Error code 100000d1, parameter1 00001020, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 ba49c7f4."

I put all the ram timings to auto besides the main 4 (2.5-3-3-5) and loosened to 2.5-3-3-6 and still the same error.

What do you recommend? Should I just put the cas @ 3? The ram is rated at 250mhz 3-4-4-8 and is @ 244mhz 2.5-3-3-6 (unstable but i cant find exactly what setting is wrong)
 
Yo JC. You're prolly goin to have to put it back to cas 3. They tend to not do very well at 2.5 even though they're rated 3 at ddr500
