can i increase my fsb without increasing ram
i got my e2180 clocked at 2.6 ghz at 2.7 its a tiny bit unstable and above windows freezes and higher still it just restarts at boot.
now my ram is well i think there diferent think i have 2gb 800mhz and 2gb 667 so they would all be underclocked to 667 anyway. due to the increase in fsb my rams gone up to 833.6 accrding to cpu-z
i think thats why its unstable.
is it the increase in fsb doing that or is it actualy a diferent setting somewhere when i overclocked i left everything on default so its all on auto as far as i know.



oh i am REALLY sorry i thought i posted this in overclocking :O

because you mix the ram speed, the 667 one must be the culprit,, i am pretty sure 800 to 833 is a safe ovrclock. try to test with one 800 alone,, if it stable then it would be easier to replace your 667 with another 800 one. or if you insist to use those two mixed, you can adjust its clock in the CPU-DRAM RATIO option to underclock both of your ram to 667 (or arround),, see if your bios has this setting.

what is your m/b and ram model?
