what a good oc seting for this ram

2GB modules do not overclock very well. Usually they can make ~1100Mhz but some do not even make that.

 

Now the 8500 CPU has a multiplier of 9.5 and with a 400Mhz FSB, you can achieve an easy 3.8Ghz and 800Mhz DRAM. With 1066Mhz DRAM you can drop the multiplier to 9 and insert a 450Mhz FSB (4.0Ghz) or try 9.5 X 450 (4.375GHz).

 

I have not seen any of those CPUs not make 4.0Ghz with a bit of voltage and usually make 3.8Ghz with stock voltage. You would be advised to purchase a decent aftermarket CPU cooler though. With a dual core, even an Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro would be enough though.

 

Since Intel Spec demands a CPU : DRAM ratio of 1:1 at a minimum, there is no chance that your DRAM can be slower than the CPU and still be stable. A 333Mhz CPU (Your CPU Default) demands 667Mhz DRAM. Just multiply the FSB X 2 and you have the necessary DRAM speed to achieve a stable ratio with your CPU. Anything over 1:1 is icing on the cake, but only ~5% greater data throughput, even when set to a 1:2 ratio.

yea DerekT thx

 

i got a CPU cooler all copper one

 

dram frequency at 456.0 mhz

 

fsb:dram 5.6

 

trcd 5

 

trp 5

 

tras18

 

command rate cr 2t

 

is that to high ??

 

at 2.1 v

 

thank DerekT

Run CPU-z and post screenshots of CPU-z's CPU, Memory and SPD tabs.

Download Real Temp from-->

To be certain of both CPU and Memory, use the Intel Linpack CPU/Memory test.

 

http://67.90.82.13/forums/showthread.php?t=197835Run Linpack for full memory (1) and use a 5 pass iteration. Run Real Temp and watch the temperatures. Be sure to turn off your screensavers, display settings that turn the monitor off for this test. Run Linpack and use Error Detection / Maximum Stress with 5 passes. The output in the screen will give you five sets of values. They should be identical for a stable CPU and DRAM. Are they identical? What is your highest Real Temp numbers?
