pc won't oc as high anymore? - Page 2

**Capper** · May 8th, 2006

Run memtest #5......when you get to the memtest screen...hit "c", which will bring up a menu, select #3, which lets you pick a specific test, then hit #5 (thats the test you want to run......then i think you hit "0", which saves it and takes you back to the main menu.
remember that no component is guaranteed to do better than what it is rated for....no matter what a review says (Remember that each and every memory kit is different..)

i have the same memory you do justin. it hates going past 200mhz. i have to run it on a 5/06 divider with my current OC otherwise it gets errors. how much voltage are you giving them? i feed mine 3.2v and they love it BUT you have to make sure that you have active cooling on them or they will get HOT, melt and die. OCZ warrants them up to 3.5v but find the lowest amount of voltage it takes to run the timings you want

Like capper said, hardware does not have to operate past it's rated spec. What you want to do in this case is setup so there is only 1 variable. As in put CPU @ default, then run memtest for an hour or two. If the memory is good, return to default memory freq and OC the CPU and run prime95.

Crank the volts the them, I run my OCZ Gold at 1.5-2-2-5 timings at DDR500 speeds all the time with 3.6 volts.................;) These things just love high voltage, but you gotta keep them cool.
