My old rig had a C2D E6300 running @ 3398Mhz, with 2x1GB DDR2 667Mhz Team Elite Dimms.
Since i wasnt able to push the dimms farther than 980mhz i decided to buy some new ones.
I bought 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz Team Elite Dimms.
After instaling (removed the oc to stock, but left it all in manual) them i booted the pc and ran Prim95 and a Memtest run for 1 hour, to let them settle in. After that, i let the pc cool for a bit and rebooted to enter the bios.
I went to raise the frequency, but at about +50mhz it wouldn boot, so i raised a voltages to the ones i found to be safe under the old dimms (2.1v)
but it would boot, so i settled for 2.05v. This time it did boot, and i ran prime95 and memtest at the same time for 8 hours straight. No problems found.
So next i started to OC it a bit, but even if i raised the FSB and let the dimms at 800mhz by altering the multiplier the pc would boot. (not even upping the NB voltage helped)
Id hope you guys could give me some info on what im doing wrong (timings, burn in, setup....)
Heres are the system specs:
C2D E6300 @1.86Ghz (stock speed)
Asus P5B-e Plus
2x1GB DDR2 800 Mhz
LC Power 550 Watt PSU
ATI Shapphire Radeon X1950Pro
The Rig was being cooled by a AC unit (CPU on 100% usage at 29ºC) with a Thermaltake TR2 cooler.
