Following are my RIG details: E8400 @ 3.0GHz, ABIT IP35-E, Transcend 2GB DDR2 RAM, EVGA 8800GT KO 256MB DDR3.
[1] Initially, I set the FSBRAM to 1:1.2; set the FSB to 390MHz and the proccy OC'ed to 3.5GHz very easily (@ stock CPU Core voltage). The RAM speed was showing up as 960MHz. I ran Crysis and it was stable.
[2] I set the FSB speed to 400 MHz, bumped up the core voltage by one step, made FSBRAM 1:1 and the proccy OC'ed to 3.6GHz without issues. THe RAM speed shows up as 800MHz in this case. (@ stock RAM voltage).
[3] Now with FSBRAM as 1:1, and Core Voltage bumped up one step, if I try to move anything beyond 400MHz FSB, the BIOS posts, but is not stable when I run Windows or Crysis - it just craps out. I tried bumping up RAM voltage one step - but no help.
Can someone help me figure out what I'm missing here?
