DDR RAM voltage
In my quest to hit 1600+ on my T-bird 1.4Ghz, I started to play around with the DDR RAM voltage to see if I could get it work at higher FSB ratings. The Fastest overclock I could get without overvolting the DDR RAM before yesterday was 10.5x145=1524mhz.
I flashed the new 5E BIOS for my KG-7 RAID yesterday and decide to play around with the settings once again. Currently I'm running 10x150=1500mhz with the DDR voltage set .5 of a volt over specs (can't remember if it was 2.5 or 2.6V), before this I couldn't get the computer to relablitly run at the 150 mhz FSB, even at a lower muliplier. Ran Prime95 for the evening last night and my computer was still chugging away at it when I got up this morning so I'm guessing its good to go. I'm going to bump the mutliper to 10.5 and see what happens when I get home from work.
So in a nut shell how much can I overvolt my memory before I have to worry about screwing it up? And is this really helping me or is the new BIOS making the computer more stable?
