I am looking for some input from those that have OCZ plat rev 2 and a diego or venice CPU.
I have spent countless hours (you don’t even want to know how many) trying to get a stable OC with my RAM above stock speed, but it just doesn’t work. The CPU is stable at 2805Mhz, I have now 12 hours blend, 12 hours small FFT, 5+ runs of 32M, and 10 hours of 3dmark 01 looping, and about 5 hours of EQ2 - all at 200Mhz. So I would say the CPU is stable.
The problem is that I can’t get past an hour of Blend testing with my RAM at 255Mhz (x11 - 1:1). I have tried 2.6-3.1v, and have tweaked every timing possible. I know for a fact the same RAM did 255 @ 2.5-3-3-5 fine with my Newcastle CPU, it did for months and I could do 283Mhz with 2.5-4-3-5. Now I cant even get 2.5-4-4-5 to be stable. I can get it to run a 32M superPI (if im lucky) for screenshots but if it can’t pass a blend test its useless to me. I use this rig for work, occasional gaming, and as a media center, I need total stability.
I have also tried a bunch of BIOS with the same results. 0510-3, 0414-3, 0414-1, 0310, 0218.
It's not heat related, I have a 120mm Panaflo on the RAM. Its not my OS, I just did a fresh install. Does my mem controller absolutely hate my TCCD? Has anyone else had similar problems with the 3200EL Rev2? I really hate to have to go buy new RAM to feed my OCing addiction :P
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
