Hi all Opteron gurus,

I bought a 2nd hand Opty 170 (CCBWE 0546XPMW) few weeks ago and only now trying to learn to overclock.

My casing is a Shuttle SN25P with nForce4 Shuttle mobo.

RAM is Kingston value RAM DDR-400 with 3-3-3-8 timings.

My question is, since my RAM sucks, is it worthwhile to overclock using RAM divider? Settings should be like this=

FSB = 240Mhz
CPU multi = 10x
CPU speed = 2.4GHz
RAM setting = 166Mhz (actual speed = 166/200*240 = 200Mhz, stock)
HTT multi = 4x (960 Mhz)

I tried that setting and it boots fine, but I haven't done any stress test yet. It feels a bit slower than stock tho, so I reverted back to stock settings. Takut... First time overclock..

I have a backup 3200+ Venice in case anything happens.

Please advice.
