Kingmax PC3200 - how do I get it to run at speed?

[stoneroseboy]

Hi,

I just built a system with a P4-2.26GHz, Asus P4S533 mobo, and 2* 256MB Kingmax PC3200.

When I set the FSB to 133(533) and the CPU/Memory speed ratio to 4:5, all is well. But at a ratio of 4:6, the system won't even think about POSTing.

What should I do? Raise the DDR voltage? It's currently @ 2.5 - my options are 2.7 and 2.9. Is this dangerous / worth the performance boost?

Thanks!

Yup, raise the voltage to 2.7V and try again. That should fix the problem.It's still within the KingMax spec (it supports an extra + or - 10% of default voltage without any ill effects).
