as some of you know i have a 8RDA+ and a 1800. its only a day old and i just now started to OC it. I have the FSB at 145 and it seems stable. before it was at 150 and i got BSD. I am using low quailty ram... so im happy with 145.

now my question is this. I can keep moving the FSB up while also leaving the ram at ~145. would this do any good? or is the point of makink the FSB faster to get the ram faster?

im gonna leave it tonight to see if its stable at 145 then possibly start messing with the mutiplyer.

what do you think? This is my firts REAL OC rig. am i doing this right for now?

if your runnign 2 sticks of ram and in dual channel you already have way more bandwidth than u need... keep the ram at 145 and start cranking up the FSB on the cpu...

no.. i only have 1 stick of ram... and i will start moving the FSB up. thanks.

also.. you wouldent know where to get one of the SPDIF thingys for this mobo? I like to run digital to my amps.

nope.. it dont like it. so its at 146 now. i can run the ram at 83% of FSB... but it wont boot at anything over 146 on the FSB.. oh well.. time to start with the mutiplyer.

ok.. i think im hitting the point of the voltage being the problem. what is stock voltage so i have somthing to work from. and when is the voltage getting to high? 2.5-3?

If it's a TBred the stock voltage is 1.6 and I think 1.85-1.9 would be kind of getting to the high side.. eGo

Some TBred's have a default vcore of 1.5 my 1700+ A core is default 1.5 vcore

try upping the voltage on the ram to the next click and see if that helps - with cheesy ram you may not get more fsb

yea.. i kinda figured the ram is whats limiting me.
