I was actually going to suggest that: drop the NB frequency .

The big problem with AM3 memory overclocking really is the quality of the northbridge. First of all, it's not necessary to have high speed memory if you're not using a high-speed northbridge and, secondly, the stress put on the northbridge by running high clocked memories is enormeous. Have you seen Titon's 940MHz+ memory speeds? That's only possible because he was running a 955 (better silicon quality) ánd, very important, had his cpu run under phase.

You'll notice, by the way, that there's not a lot of scaling in performance going up even higher in the memory frequency. You might want to try CL5.

Not sure what this has to do with the Elpida's dieing on everyone.
