I am using a matched pair of Corsair XMS PC3200 currently running at 210fsb with 3449 timings and 1.8v. It is on an NF7-S with a Mobile Barton 2600+.
I was running at 211x11.5, and with my vcore at 1.81 and 3DMark03 kept freezing during the first cpu test... I raised the vcore and it still frooze... so I lowered my bus to 210 and it ran 3dMark03 just fine... I lowered my vcore to 1.81, and it passed... I bumped up my multiplier to 12 and it passed... so 210x12 @ 1.81 vcore passed six runs of 3DMark03 and about 2 hours of playing Halo and maybe a half hour of Far Cry... but Prime95 tourture test using 100% of CPU resources quit after 47 minutes or so... my temps never got above 45c
Yet with Prime95 running, my Vcore dropped from 1.81 to 1.79... I do not know if games cause the same draw... [BTW, 1.81 is when my bios is set at 1.825, and when I bumped it up to 1.85, and rebooted, my vcore kept flipping back and forth from 1.82 to 1.84, back and forth with every reading... but it doesn't do the flipping at 1.81] I am not sure what the max Vcore recommendation for the Mobile Barton is, but stopping at around 1.8 seems like a good idea for me... I am using a SLK900A with a 4800rpm 80mm fan set to 4000rpm...
I would like to get my bus up to 215. Heck, 2580MHz with a 1.81 VCore and temps in the middle 40s, I might even stop messing with this setup...
This seems like a ram issue to me...
Can my ram handle 2.9v?
What timings should I try next after 3449?
