My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[milkmandan]

Put your fingers on the ram heatspreaders.. if you cant hold them there then they're running too hot. I suspect this is part of the issue because that OCZ cooler is rather small and pitiful iirc...

I can place and hold my fingers on the heat-spreaders just fine and hold them as long as i need. Not even as hot as a car steering wheel on a baking day. I got some good airflow down there as I have a 120mm fan next to the RAM as well. and I have 2 more 120mm fans blowing at the OCZ cooler as well. Though aren't FB-DImms suppose to run hot? :\

OCZ works fine for me :\ It's better than the dominator in my opinion.
If ram heat is the issue, i prolly should purchase some heatsinks like jcool. but not until i find out what the problem is.

2nd pass for memtest, 70% done and no problems so far :\

edit:
aww now this is messed up...

I am underclocking, 2.25GHz, at 375FSBx 6. And prime is giving me that stupid rounding error again.
I've even fed the NB 1.40V, which is the highest setting O_O...

I am unstable even at underclocking. wow....

memtest ran perfectly at 400x6 :\ 3 complete passes, 6 hours of testing, no errors *sigh*

I am getting a strong itch that maybe although my RAM is 'okay', the speed clock is lying, and that its not really 800 but 667.

the BIOS - system information - memory information shows my RAM at 667Mhz, but i duno if thats because of the E5430 :\
what does ur say jcool? I know you got E5420's, so theoretically, ur BIOS should also report your RAM as 667. :\

any more suggestions?

at stock voltages....going to slowly step up from 333 and see when prime starts to crap out on me.
