Hi all! I'm in a little delima here. I just built a gaming rig which is a HUGE upgrade from my XP3200+. Components:
Asus P5K mb
E8400 cpu
2g (2x1g)G.Skill cl4 pc6400 4-4-4-12
Pilat nVidia 9600gt
Antec NSK6580 mid-tower case w/ Earthwatts 430w powersupply
Xigmatek HDT-S1280 cpu cooler
Sony DVD RW, Asus DVD RW
WD 250G 7200rpm, WD 200g 7200rpm, WD 120g 7200rpm
I'm oc'ing it to 4.02g stable with no problem. runs stable and cool under prime95 for hours. settings are 445x9 cpu, and memory is 1069 w/ 5-5-5-15. the problem I get is when running cod4, asassin's creed, ect.. it'll crash after 10 minutes or so . I'm swapping out the Palit card for an Asus en9600gt TOP that's oc'd @720 instead of 650. When I back down fsb to 425 the games are stable.
My question is, how can I get it above that 4g mark with stable game play? And what's the best I can get out of the 8400? thanks in advance!
