When overclocking a multi-locked AMD system, consider adjusting the RAM voltage if needed.
another inquiry about my RAM. If I turned melted aluminum foil into small blocks around four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, matching the size of my RAM, then pressing one of the bigger sides flat on each and applying thermal adhesive to the Corsair value RAM, would that assist in keeping temperatures slightly lower?
The setup aims to push RAM speeds between 1.1-1.2Ghz. The fastest DDR2 modules reached were DDR2-1066 at 2.2v with specific timing, but they couldn't exceed that. (DDR3 began at 800Mhz/1066 and increased from there). Are your RAM chips hot to the touch while the computer is running?
I wouldn't be concerned about it. Heat spreaders are mainly for appearance.
I really don't understand what those settings are doing. The key factors that influence DRAM performance are speed and timing. For instance, DDR2-800 with 4-4-4-12 is quicker than DDR2-800 with 5-5-5-15. It's also possible that DDR2-800 at 3-3-3-9—though unlikely to run smoothly at those timings—could be faster than DDR2-1066 at 5-5-5-15.
