Computer Crashes?

sweet man! whats your temps and is it stable?

Nice job, but I'm not quite following what you did. Could you be a little more specific on your settings?
From what I can gather, it looks like you set your memory on a 3/4 divider and 3.0V. Other than that, I'm not sure exactly what you did.

But in answer to your question about dividers, here's what is happening...
When you set a divider, that is basically telling your RAM to run a certain percentage slower than the HTT frequency of the processor.
SO...
A 9/10 divider means that for every 10mhz of HTT, the RAM will only run at 9mhz. This can also be worded as saying that your RAM is running 90% as fast as the HTT frequency (because 9 divided by 10 = .9 or 90%)
Basically if you divide the two numbers as you see them you will get a decemal (between 0 and 1) or a percent (portion of a whole, which in this case is HTT frequency). If you multiply this calculated decemal by the HTT frequency, you will get the actual speed your RAM is running at.
Ok, enough blabber, here are some calculations so you can get the idea:

With a 9/10 divider and 200mhz HTT frequency:
9/10 = 0.9
0.9 X 200 = 180mhz RAM speed

With a 3/4 divider and 200mhz HTT frequency:
3/4 = 0.75
0.75 X 200 = 150mhz RAM speed

With a 3/4 divider and 250mhz HTT frequency:
3/4 = 0.75
0.75 X 250 = 187mhz RAM speed

Well aights. I'm running Prime now. Temps are a bit higher cause i need 1.525 volts now.

Now normally at a 1: 1 divider and my cpu at 1.8ghz. I only need 2.5 volts to run my ram at 200mhz. However, while i was skrewing around with my cpu, i noticed that at 2400mhz i now needed at least 3.0 volts to run my ram at 200mhz even though there was a divider on it. Now, i dropped my divider even lower and oced my cpu further. It now stands at 290 x 9 = 2610mhz but i need 3.2 volts to keep my ram at 200mhz. It sure doesn't make any sence wut so ever to me but thats how its working in my rig.

I tried 300 x 9 = 2700 but it didn't make it that far.

Well, if you are running the 2-2-2-8 timings, then the required voltage to run those timings at 200mhz is 3.2v; so your results are not suprising. Sounds like you are doing a good job of keeping the memory at 200mhz. I would keep your memory at the 2-2-2-8 timings with 3.2V, but don't be afraid to go above 200mhz with the memory. You can probably get a little extra out of that RAM, even at 2-2-2-8 timings.

HERE is a link to a nice little program that will calculate some of that stuff for you made by our very own FZ1 :thup:

sweet. I'm content with my clocks for now. Time for the Video Card. LOL

good job justin. I can't get my CPU any higher which is dissapointing but 2.39 is fine for me

[fps justin]

haha. My cpu just crashed on me. Wouldn't run at 2.6 mhz anymore. Sorta just died. o_O

[Tyreal]

how long did you run prime for? Did you try OCCT?
An OCCT stable system has never crashed on me yet.
