Some advice on Ram overclocking required!

[LoWRiDeR]

Hi all,

I have the system you see in the signature.

Currently I have the x3380 CPU at 9.5x444mhz and it can prime95 for 10 hours without any problems.

However this is with my Corsair XMS3 DHX 1600mhz C9 @ 444*2.66 and not proper quad band...That's not even on 1200mhz sticks that should be able to handle 1600 at least.

The timings I use are 9-9-9-24 so not very pushy.

If I try 3.33 memory band (1480mhz for the ram that is), the system becomes unstable. I get BSODs, or prime95 has errors etc.

I tried slightly raising the voltage to 1.84 for the ram, that didn't help either.

I am thinking of getting the dominator platinum 2133 8gb kit. Do you think this will allow me to run the system without issues at 4* for the ram?

Look forward to the thoughts of you experts and I thank you in advance for taking the time to give me a hand with this as it's quite frustrating
