doesnt matter, at 7 or 8 X400 no voltage increase and its up and running great, mems at 800, I believe this is 1:1
450 with slight V increase accross the cpu and nb is all good, mems at 900..
get close to 480 and it craps, 500 is a definate no go, I'll keep tweaking it, it was cheap at $130 and it seems the Raid performace is good.

also, if im running 8x400 and manually set the rams to 1000 it craps, was hoping it was just some stupid timing issue, but its probably my rams, suppose I should get some crappy patriots :P

Just why do these Ballistix make so much noise during memtest and orthos blend...
I'm not too sure it is the rams, could be coming from the caps or something... high pitched noisy noise..

Could you post your bios settings? I think you have a value or two that may need to be changed. Also could you make a sig with your hardware or maybe just list your ram etc. I've had no trouble running my ram @ 500FSB & above. I just want more than the 509FSB I've reached.
