Muskin PC3200 LevelII Won't Overclock! HELP!

Tyl3n0L · Mar 14, 2004, 11:45 PM

Ok, I have 2x512MB of Muskin PC 3200 Level II BH-5.
But the ram won't overclock for "/$%?&*( ... Previously with my 2x512mb of OCZ PC 3200Rev2 I managed to hit 230FSB @ 2.5-3-3-6, 2.8V stable on my Athlon64 3200+, AsusK8V, Asus ATI 9800XT...

The default timing on my Muskin are 2-2-2-6. I Slacked them to 2.5-3-3-6, 2.8v and tried 220FSB... The computer start-up but at the Windows Log-in screen it shutdown. So I tried 2.5-3-3-11, Same result. I also tried with 1 stick of it. Same problem. The max I can get out of it is 210fsb 2-2-2-6 @ 2.8v

I think it's because the muskin need more voltage. but 2.8v is the highest setting in the bios....
What do you guys think?

Thanks

I think you should run memtest+ thro' em individually to check 'em out.

I'm running Corsair 3200 Pro's (2 of) @ 2,3,2 cas2 @ 2.7V stable at 220x10 with a similar rig.

BTW why did you change?

yes you were hitting some good ocs with the OCZ, pity you moved.

the newest memtest btw is available http://www.memtest.org/ here you just burn image to a CD, then boot from it, it will run a series of tests to check for errors, its the best, most reliable way to test your ram.

I have heard the new ram you have loves the volts. you might need 3.2 on it to get the best from it.

Does the ram say 2-2-2 special on them? If so then that's BH6..... Inferior to BH5.
