hi guys, i hav jus changed into a DDR2 platform and get myself a crucial ballistix pc5300 from shawty
however, i cant even overclock the ram to be stable @ 800mhz 4-4-4-12 2T, i even tried 2.2V on tat timing n frequency, but it failed in memtest86
any idea wat could be the problem? issit because of i m using a Pentium D and not a core 2?
other spec can refer to my signature
thanks for any help, newbie in intel platform overclocking

never tried super PI, but i thought memtest shud be the best stability test for memory?
4-5-5-12 failed 2, CL5 same....
i wonder the problem could be come from my motherboard, not sure, jus my sixth sense

some update : the ram was able to go up to 1000mhz @ 4-4-4-12 2T on a XFX 680i LT with core 2 system. boot vista n pass super pi.
going to claim my mobo already i think...

it is my brother system, with E4300 on the board
i m damn upset with my system, cant even run 770mhz 4-4-4-12 2T

guys is the D9 reli run so hot?
i touch the heatspreader of my crucial with bare hand, it is reli so damn hot, like touching boiled water

issit ram cooler a must if the ram is going to be bumped with voltage higher than 2.1V?
scare it will be burnt

coz my area damn hard to find the ram cooler, have to buy from lyn bulker i think, the one moderno selling cost RM60
is there any cheaper alternative out there?
