Plz help me out
I have posted on 3 different forums related to overclocking and have gotten no ideas.
Would lowering the divider from 2:3 to 1:1 affect ram running at stock 400Mhz? or is the divider totally independent of the speed the ram runs at?
The problematic stick runs fine at 266x8 400Mhz with a 2:3 divider, but will not even boot at 400x8 1:1 divider, 400Mhz. When I use the SAME SETTINGS with the other stick, I get perfect results on the 2:3 and the 1:1. (needless to say dual channel gives the same problem as the problem stick by itself)
For some reason the problematic stick just refuses to run higher than 313Mhz when I set the divider 1:1.
ANY ideas are appreciated! Even if you just say, it's bad ram, or try this, or buy a new stick haha.
Thanks
EDIT--------
This is just INSANE it's driving me crazy..
How can this ram run at 450Mhz on a 2:3 divider, and when I lower the divider to 1:1 it can't go passed 313Mhz?!
I have even tried various FSB speeds to see if maybe it was a motherboard hole. I tried 314x8, 320x8, 325x8, 330x8, 340x8, 375x8 400x8.. nada...
I literally tried a 1mhz increase to 314x8 and it would not boot.. It's not even unstable or anything it just does not boot. And if i try anything about 320ish this is exactly what happens.
f10>save>restart>*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*>restart>FSB back to default 266...
I don't know if the beeps mean anything versus an unstable memory that fails prime95, but this is crazy. I tried 2.0v, 2.1v, 2.2v, raising CPU voltage past what I needed for the other stick, raising (G)MCH and FSB Termination, NOTHING changed it. Just does not boot, I get the 2 long beeps and a reset.
