3400 is unstable even with 1.550v
The bus is not an issue here, i tried lowering to 9x the multi and i managed to get 340 FSB stable (didn't try higher than this).
It's not a RAM problem neither, cause they should be fairly stable at under ddr2-667 speeds (same chips of crucial DDR2 667 kit).
I think it's just a cpu problem; i could pump 1.6v in it and i'll get 3400 2x32M stable, but i don't think it's safe to run 1.6v 24/7.
Do you think it's a mobo problem?
These are my bios settings for 3400 (not stable):
Code:
10x340
PCI-E frequency: 90MHz
C.I.A.2 = disabled
Performance enhance = standard
DRAM DLL = option 1
ram at 680 4-5-5-15 2T (subs on auto). (i'll tighten them later on)
Voltage:
CPU: 1.550v
RAM: 1.8v
G MCH: +0.1v
PCI-E: +0.1v
FSB: normal
DDR2: normal
Can you see problems in this configuration?
Also, is it viable to run EIST and C1E when overclocking?
Thanks
