Stressed Opty 144 mem controller ?

[df69]

Hi all :D
Have a CAB2E 0548FPMW.

Had been running it at 2.8Ghz with 1.55/1.6 vcore for a short time, some of the time 2.7Ghz with 1.5 vcore, though mostly 2.6Ghz with 1.45 vcore.

Last week i ran into a spot of bother (at 2.7Ghz with 1.5v), corupted files and display, also mem' dumps. :eek:

I exhausted all avenue's with the only fix being dropping back to 2T timmings or relaxing ram timmings too 3-4-4-7 with 1T.

So it appears that i may have stressed the controller on the Opty'. Would this be correct?
If so, will it come good again?

System spec's:Opteron-144 /GA-K8NSC-939/2x512"OCZ" Performance/ASUS-6800/160Gb Seagate-SATA

Thank's in advance :D

You should check if your RAM had gone bad. Haven't heard of a memory controller going bad.

The voltages you used weren't excessive either.

Right, dont blaim the mem controller too easily.

I'm guessing it's your RAM since I experienced the exct same thing. Lower your cpu multi and check for high HTT 1:1 stability.

Thank's guy's :)

That's the problem, the OCZ performance has for some reason decided that 1T and SPD timmings are too much for it :(

I have used ram deviders when overclocking due too the not so special chips used on the Peformance sticks, i wounder if i'll be able to RMA in this situation?

Not shopping at the store i purchased them from due to a differance of opinion recently, hmm not sure what too do with this ram now?

Thank's again.

I'm not sure if this well help or not, but after about 1 full month of running stable at 2700mhz, my computer started getting constant errors, and it tested stable before, so I went about changing settings that I had previously confirmed... I was using 2.85v for my RAM voltage. I then lowered the RAM voltage to 2.7v, thats the only change I made, since it seemed like RAM related errors to me, and the system has been loving it since. It tested prime stable again and I think the RAM (which is TCCD) somehow burned in and caused it to require less volts.
