How far did you try?

going to 1.5 is still quite safe.

Although it might be your rm holding you back...

okay to know for sure, set the cpu multiplier to 6x and then start upping the FSB...if you still hit the same wall, then its most definately the ram

RobThePyro · Post by **RobThePyro** » 02 Nov 2007, 20:25

or the FSB...

Set CPU to 6x multi and RAM to lowest multi, so it runs slowest. then push FSB

Then do the same and keep ram locked and if you STILL dont hit a wall then its deff you Vcore. dude, 1.6v is "Safe" PUSH HARDER! (had mine to 1.8 but we wont go there

)
