Current Specs.
ASUS P5K-E Wifi
Crucial Ballistix RAM 4GB(specs 800mhz 4-4-4-12 2.0v)
Nvid8800GT 512MB
Q6600 @ 3.2ghz
Corsair 500watts
I have recently upgraded from 2GB of RAM to 4GB. Prior to the upgrade I was running my overclock at 356mhz FSB on 9 cycles. After the upgrade I went to 400mhz FSB on 8 cycles. Both combinations put my CPU overclock to 3.2ghz and my CPU is stable and cool (60C) with Prime95. After switching my RAM from 356mhz to 400mhz in an attempt to get the specified 800mhzDDRRAM I have been getting errors. All sounds artifact, some keys stop working on my keyboard, visual artifacts on the screen as well as other annoying errors. Thinking I might have bad RAM I went back to the 2x1GB modules in an attempt to isolate the problem. Unfortunately, the problem also occurs with my other set of RAM. Both RAM sets are specified to run at 800mhz so what else might be the problem?
I am currently running the 4GB at 360mhzFSB giving me 720mhz on the DDRRAM with my timings at 4-4-4-12 and 2.0v.
Confused and frustrated, please help.
I am fairly new to the overclocking scene, I have had this machine running well for over a year but it is my first true homebuilt.
