casewindow Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I posted and got quite a lot of info in this thread: http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=77578 The upshot was that I seemed to be able to get my 4 sticks of RAM working at 1066mhz with an MCH voltage increase of +0.1v. No games crashed for about 3 weeks then one day fallout 3 froze. However this was after I had been messing around with the fallout3.ini settings and made the game run slowly by ramping up the settings too much. I put the settings back and it froze again the next day. So I put the MCH voltage upto +0.125v. It seems fine now - plus I started playing Crysis again and that is fine. I am wondering though whether I should have just put it up +0.2v as first suggested in the original thread? I have purchased an Antec Spotcool which is blowing directly onto the MCH to keep it cool - though on a hot day it can still get upto 54C under load.

DerekT Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 No, you are performing the better method. It will just take a bit longer to find the voltage sweet spot on the MCH. The X38/X48 chipsets run hot and I find the same thermals on this chipset when populating with four DRAM slots.
