OC 4400+, stuck at maxing CPU speed

[jahjahbinks]

I have been following the method of finding cpu speed and ram speed seperately then consolidate. Right now I stuck at finding cpu speed at very early stage.

Here's my rig:

AMD X2 4400+ with SI-120 and panaflo
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D BIOS 6.23-3
ENERMAX Noisetaker 485W
1G OCZ Plat Rev 2. PC3200 (2x512) 2-2-2-5, 2.7V
Win XP Pro SP2

Here's my BIOS setting:

I lowered LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio to x3. Keep other settings (such as. CPU multiplier at x11) at stock so memory is out of equation.

LDT : 1.3v
Chipset: 1.7v
CPU: 1.5v (1.45*101%)

I raised HTT from 200 to 210, it passed Prime 32M.
I raised HTT to 215, it failed after 7 minutes.

Load CPU temp is 43C.

My question is that with ram out of equation can HTT can be raised to 250 with air cooling? And what should I do next? Should I continue to raise Vcore? or something else

p.s. oops, I found that I did not change the RAM speed. It is still at 200, I am changing it to 100 and give a try now!

How does that eliminate the RAM?

Change the RAM Divider to eliminate the RAM, but sometimes RAM doesnt like memory dividers.

A good way to find out the max of your RAM is to change the CPU Multi to x9 or x10 and then up the FSB until you start getting errors. :)
