Hi.
System:
Abit AW9D-Max (975 chipset) (Bios v14 alpha, has ddr 800 fix)
Intel Conroe E6600
4x 1GB Kingston HyperX 900Mhz (5-5-5-15)
eVGA 8800GTS
Tuniq Tower 120
Antec 500Watt NeoHE
Antec P180 Case
2x 74GB Raptor (Raid 0)
2x 80GB Seagate Sata 7200rpm
2x Optical DV D-RWs
The best speed stable so far is:
Mhz 2926
bus 325
vCore 1.5V
vDimm 2.1v
Mch 1.5v
idle: 31C
load: 55C
FSBRAM 1:1
Disabled, EIST, CPUID and Virt Tech. C1E
I can get the system to post at 365 FSB but it will crash within 20 minutes of running 2 instances of Prime 95, Lowest FSB with a crash was at 333. I am wondering if my PSU is maybe too weak for that power hungry video card, or maybe kingston was just a bad choice of high end ram.
If 2.9 Ghz is my max limit on that CPU, would it be worth trying to increase the DRAM ratio since since 1:1 is running far below the specs of the RAM.
Any advice would be appreciated.
