I have a mathced pair of Corsair ValueSelect model VS1GBKIT400 512 mb sticks (1gb total) running on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum socket 754 motherboard.

I have the mobo running "optimized defaults." This motherboard also has dynamic overclocking which I am considering turning on. It's running an Athlon64 3200+

For dynamic OC (up to 15% OC), what would be good timings and voltage settings for these chips? I believe the BIOS default is 2.6v and 2.5-3-3-8.

THANKS!

A footnote:

I realize that these chips are not "meant" for overclocking and I don't plan on overclocking very much or very often. The motherboard has the option to dynamically overclock whenever my machine requires extra performance. Since I run mostly Adobe & Macromedia desktop software the CPU is usually not pegged. However, i often also use 3d CAD programs and raytracing software which is EXTREMELY cpu intensive. A little extra "oomph" now and then would be great! However, since this is fairly critical data i also don't want to have horribly corrupt data because the voltages are wrong or something...

Try 2.8v and 3,4,4,8 (providing the ram has trouble with 2.5 cas at higher speed).

Abit IS7 - 3.0C @ 3.6ghz - Mushkin PC4000 (2 X 512) - Sapphire 9800Pro - TT 420 watt Pure Power
