memory

if i lower my memory voltage will i be able to overclock more? I would like to have my AMD Athlon64 3000+ skt 754 running at 2.3GHz for some reason... and i have read the ocing guide just i dont remember what it said about memory and i dont feel like reading it again.. so if i remember right if you lower ur voltage you get better oc's but less stability and higher voltage is more stable less ocing.... please help any suggestions plz

peace

 

......its not that hard to find.....less Vdimm will make for less stibility....


Overclocking your RAM
Overclocking your RAM is really very simple. The principle behind overclocking RAM is the same as overclocking your CPU: to get the RAM to run at a higher speed than it is supposed to run at. Luckily, the similarities between the two types of overclocking end there, or else RAM overclocking would be much more complicated than it is

To overclock RAM, you just enter the BIOS and attempt to run the RAM at a higher speed than it is rated at. For instance, you could try to run PC-3200 (DDR 400) RAM at a speed of 210MHz, which would be 10MHz over the rated speed. This could work, but in some cases it will cause the system to crash. If this happens, don't panic. The problem can be solved pretty easily by raising the voltage to your RAM. The voltage to your RAM, also known as vdimm, can be adjusted in most BIOSes. Raise it using the smallest increments available and test each setting to see if it works. Once you find a setting that works, you can either keep it or try to push your RAM farther. If you give the RAM too much voltage, however, it could get fried. For info on what voltages are safe, refer back to the Holy Grail of RAM

The only other thing that you have to worry about when overclocking RAM are the latency timings. These timings are the delays between certain RAM functions. If you want more info on this, you know where to look Basically, if you want to raise the speed of your RAM, you may have to raise the timings. It's not all that complicated, though, and shouldn't be too hard to understand.

That's really all there is to it. If only overclocking the CPU were that easy

 

• common i made the Overclockign guide to help peeps learn to OC not so peeps can read it once ( and forget most of it ) and get all layZ and start a whole new thread asking questions that are easily answerd in the guide....
