you're running it at 5-5-5-15, I used 4-4-4-12 @2.0v (from here)
maybe that's the problem... I'll try upping my voltage a little

You can try reseating your ram. That works sometimes. If you are getting errors all you can do is raise the voltage. But I do not want to go beyond the the tested spec...2.0 ~ 2.1v. Thats why I lossened the timings. I would like my ram to last awhile. As a last resort try raising the voltage for the Northbridge, but it runs hot.Quote:

Currently my subtimings are as set automatically by the BIOS:
5-5-5-13-?-?-?-?-?-?
Before my overclock I was running this RAM at its rated speed (DDR800) with the following subtimings:
4-4-4-10-4-42-3-11-7-13
Now I want to set the subtimings manually to tighten them a little. I can play around with the first four timings (now at 5-5-5-13), but I have no idea what I should do with the other 6. I want to leave them (for now) at some "safe" numbers so I can get the first 4 as tight as possible without worrying about the other 6. So, for now, should I leave them at the recommended 4-42-3-11-7-13, or could this be too tight given my overclock?
Thanks in advance!
4-42-3-11-7-13 is good. you can try to tight it more.Quote:

Now since ive been reading it says it not good overclocker this ram i got. so i strarted tweaking the timings sinse i think i wont go over the 400mhz bus, and LOL i manage to get these intresting timings on a 1.9v 4.4.4.12-2-35-3-9-6-9 i have test my ram with Prime and done 8hours no problems at these setting, i understand these are very tight timings (btw are these D9 micron chips?) but sinse i can do so good with timings what can be my problem with the 420+ wall, should i try 500mhz with 2.1v and if i do, do i need to air cool my ram? at that voltage? (and of course lossen timings)
i don;t think that is D9 chip and the 2.1v should be ok but just make sure it don't get to hot.Quote:

Kinda funny that someone mentions me, but I think my problem was a bad clocking e6300, it loves to suck down volts.Quote:

To answer my last question, after installing another set of the 2GBNQ, I dont run stable at 400x7 anymore, but I do at anything less than 400. Now Im at 399x7
Hello, I bought a second 1GBNQ module ( CL5D-1GBNQ PC-6400 ) ( I bought the first one year ago ) but I now have BSOD and program crashes in vista.
The modules are in dual channel mode ( same color slot ) , and I use these timings and vloltage : use 1.9v 5-5-5-15-4-42-3-11-7-13
So I did a memtest ( last version ) and it finds errors. I also did it with each module separately and only the new one makes errors.
This new module looks a little bit different ( the rad is a little different) but it's still the same package and Everest see the same module.
I think these settings doesn't work anymore with these modules.
( sorry for english mistakes )
Thank you for your help, Martin.
