A7N8X DX 200 FSB Help

I can get my pc to run at a 200 fsb, but splinter cell keeps dumping out after 5 to 10 mins of playing. It will run 2dmark01 and 03 with out crash. My pc has not locked up or restarted on its own. It runs fine just my games dump. Are you guys able to run more stable than this, if so tell me how. Let me just say heat is not the problem. cpu under 40c
I now have my fsb now back at 180x12.5. When i was at 200fsb my vcore was 1.75 and 2.7 ram. I have 512 corsair 3200LL which i set to SPD which is like 6-2-2-2. I had to raise my ram volts up to 2.7 and my multiplyer to 11.5 with 1.75, just to get it to boot to windows. my cpu ran at 2.3mhz so i even droped the multi down more to 2.190 and i will still get game dumps. I feal im getting close what do think i should try now. and yes i changed the jumper to the 200fsb setting before i oc'ed. and my agp is set to 66mhz. Ram in sync slots. Runs at 200fsb but games a bit unstable.

is your ram 2x256 or single 512 stick? and does it only crash on splinter cell or other games as well?? And I've found that running 2k3 and looping nature test on 2k3 are 2 different things. I can run it at 207 but not loop it. Had to drop to 205 to loop it due to cpu being maxed. So let us know your mem and whether or not 2k3 nature will loop 10 times or so.....

have not looped 3d03 nature 10x yet but my ram is 2x256 in the sync slots. my 9700 pro is stable at a fsb of 185, the core is 371 and ram 351. havent tried other games yet. but splinter cell never dumped till i went to 200, and after i went back to 185 it never dumped.

well 185 to 200 is a pretty big jump! Will it dump it at 195? I'd bet you're gonna have to give it more juice. either to the vcore or the vdimm or maybe even both

Bump them up a notch and try again... just watch your temps.

well i looped 3d03 nature test 10x and nothing bad happend. i bumped my vcore voltage to 1.8 so ill try this and see if splinter cell dumps or not. what is your vcore voltage and ddr voltage.

i tried cracken up the vcore more. but splinter cell still dumps and gives me critical error message. so i went back to 185. and no more dumps. i dont know, it must be the game. hitman 2 dosen't crash so. Oh well, any overage is good. im ok with 185 i guess. im geting 2.8 gig bandwidth sisoft.
