Hey, I am currently overclocking and was doing fairly well until the ram hit 2000 MHz.
I have mushkin ridgebacks 2x3 6-8-6-24 standard. I was just getting to a 4GHz overclock on my CPU which was fine however the Ram failed to start the first time on 2MHz and I quickly realised the times weren't slack enough so I changed them to 8-9-8-24 which is what tom runs and what he thinks every set should be able to do, so I assumed it would be ok this time. However I got a blue screen just after the windows starting logo finished and the pc restarted. So I quickly put the ram back down to pop on and ask you guys what the matter could be?
Which voltage is the actualy RAM one btw, becuase QPI/DRAM isn't it I dont think so is it the RAM Bus Voltage? I am not sure.
All advice welcome, thanks.
PS: I am currently getting at maximum 63 degrees on my hottest core on a 4GHz Overclock with 1.30 voltage. How much further is it worth pushing ? I want a an overclock that I can just use all the time when I play games etc. I was hopeing for around 4.5GHz, what do you think ? How high is too high ? (I am on a watercooled loop, Thermaltake 360 TA Rad)
