Noob OC'er here, Well not actually noob, been OC'ing since 486 Days, but I haven't OC'd in a long time. Last OC was a 2.4c. Anyway, I need some assistance anytime I try to start bumping settings in manual mode, It hangs on reboot (The LCD Poster sits at DET DRAM). So this is what I was able to do. I set the Auto OC to Crazy, and I can post just fine and get back into bios, then I bumped the Memory clock to 1167. If you guys could take a look at my screenshot and let me know where I should go from here, because I know it is probably severely overvolted from the crazy setting. Thanks very much in advance.

When it hangs on DETRAM their is something not right with you RAM settings. It can either be to high/low vNB, to high/low vDIMM, and to tight of ram timings and or to high a RAM speed. I like to test my ram with no OC and see how far it can go and do all the timings tweaking w/o OC so I have a good RAM base line that I can use. Then ensure you don't go over that when in search of your highest OC. I get DETRAM hang ups all the time when I'm tweaking ram. It's almost always to high a setting or tight of timings.

I've just stumbled on something with my vNB voltage ripples. I'm currently working on getting my lowest FSBT and I've dropped it a lot and my vNB ripples are still their way less ripple. I'm really loving the logging of the 1.2.0b OCCT. It's been the biggest help in finding my issues with instability. Here are my vNB at 1.47 FSBT and and 1.27 FSBT.

The funny thing was that I had them all set to Auto, I wasn't even OC'ing the ram at that point. I was just trying to OC the proc. So Start trying to bump the Ram with the default CPU clock? When i goto NBStrap 400 that's 1:1 Ratio correct? So in order to increase the Ram i'll have to start dropping the multiplier so i dont OC the CPU at all correct?

So sorry for the complete noob question, but how would I go about just overclocking my RAM. I'll probably figure it out when I get home but I thought it was just by raising the FSB!

Raising the FSB also increases the RAM speed. But you have a RAM divider that plays the biggest part in OCing ram. It's your FSB Strap and DRAM Frequency that make up your RAM divider. CPUz will show you your ram divider and so will MemSet along with the actual speed which doubled will be the DDR speed.
