It's the second time I've overclocked this processor, but I followed the rules with the OC. I found out the max OC for my CPU and the max OC for my RAM and adjusted things accordingly. I had it going at 2.7GHz (10 x 270 @ 1.5v) and 225MHz RAM (166mhz divider). Prime tested stable overnight. (Keep in mind the MAX speed of CPU and RAM was 2.8ghz and 230mhz, respectively)
It was running fine for, oh, 4 or 5 days. Now suddenly I started getting freezes and weird restart issues. So I backed off everything, set CPU to 10 x 260 @ 1.5v and RAM @ 217MHz and it failed Prime after like 2 minutes.
So now I'm starting over. I'm going to overclock the CPU again. Then the RAM and try to figure out why it's unstable suddenly.
What could cause this suddeny instability? Even at lower clock speeds it was unstable/....I don't understand!
I tested it @ the first mentioned speeds over and over again. CPU temps never exceeded 51ºC on full load after a few hours. RAM voltage was 2.68v and was running fine and stable.
Is it possible that even though my CPU was stable by itself at 2.7GHz and the RAM was stable by itself at 225MHz, that they're unstable together?
