Get great help there as well. The RAm looks good, but you didn't post the specs for your board - that is what we need to see what's up. Some boards are designed for OC while others require some tweaks. |

If you want to go to around 900 MHz you've got to loosen the timings and bump up the voltage (2.1-2.2V) otherwise it won't boot so I suggest trying this: timings at 6-6-6-18 and voltage at 2.1V see if boots, but anything above that requires playing with more advanced timings etc. long story short XMS2s really don't overclock as well as say G.Skill or Mushkin, Patriot etc. This post has been edited by s13 on Oct 26 2010, 11:26 AM |
