d4n Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi guys, im having a litttle trouble pin pointing my problems im running into... Firstly my computer specs are as follows: E6850 @ 3.6Mhz 2 x MSI 8800 OC Ultra's - 660/1150 2Gb Corsair TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF 1250Mhz EVGA n680i Razer Barracuda AC-1 + Razer Headphones Enermax Galaxy DXX 1000W SLI 2 x 1Tb WD | 1 x 500Gb WD | 1 x 200Gb WD | 1 x 120Gb WD Antec 900 case LG L226W Problem: i could be playing a game and suddenly the computer freezes or i get 0.5 fps sometimes i am able to end task the game and when i get back into windows its better but you can see it not runnning properly (or seems that way) if the computer freezes usually the screen goes blank, until i hit the reset switch... Ive had a few instances where im playing and its crashes n i get 50mm x 50mm blank squares, weird thing is that it hardly BOSD's 1st I thought it was my RAM so i took it back and got a new set, its was fiine for a bit and i was like sweeet then it started happening again.... BUT this is the weird part, if i put my PQI 800mhz ram into the system it runs fine.... So im thinking maybe it got something 2 do with the SLI enabling RAM's? hence problem with the mainboard. The system is less than 2 months old.. am i clocking the memory 2 high they say it supports 1200 SLI ram but its running at 1250. i dont think i would but maybe?? It mite be a voltage problem??? could some1 give me some voltage settings for CPU, FSB etc.... any thought are helpful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well I cant tell you how to over clock but I would try and lower the memory frequency and then lower the CPU Multiplier and see what happens.

d4n Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 hey thanks for the reply... i set everything to stock no overclocking at all and still get issues :( then i decided to knock it down 2 800mhz... now testing Question could it be the ram overheating? at 1250mhz cause it runs at 2.4v stock.. is it just this type that could be doing it???

d4n Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 okies i found out its stable at 800mhz... now can i ask why ?? :( i bought the ram for the speed and cant achieve it kinda sucks and its not cheap at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 20, 2007 With that CPU they will not over clock as well a say a E6400 and by default your CPU runs at a higher clock frequency so the closer you get to 333Mhz and above the memory frequency will have to be more in sync with the CPU because of a bottleneck in the memory controller.

d4n Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 oic... so techincally i will be able to run it at 1250mhz when i upgrade in jan/feb with my 780i motherboard and the new cpu's they will be releasing?? will it be able to run at clock speed lets say if i got the 600 FSB cpu? then comes the case if having a motherboard that supports 600 FSB.... ahahha its like a circle :) atm its set at 1066mhz seems to be stable but ill give it a week and see wat happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 21, 2007 OK No problem and yes that is basically it, but I would search for some reviews on the MB and CPU combination and see what reviewers have done for more help with the settings. Sorry but I can tell you how to over clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
