I have OCZ Gold memory on my five year old build, and due to it's sluggishness in BF2BC, I have decided to finally look into OC'ing it, at least until I freshen it up to a 2500K.
I have never OC'd before, so I though I would look at the RAM timings first.
Luckily, I stumbled upon the <CNTRL> + <F1> tip, as I could never find the timings, and also removed EasyTunes.
I finally was able to get the timing to 4-4-4-12, per the OCZ spec, as the mobo kept it at 5-5-5-15. BUT, the spec calls for 1.9V, and the mobo is giving me 1.8V.
These are confirmed with CPU-Z.
When I go into the Bios (ver. F14), and add 0.1V, the system won't boot properly to Win 7 64.
Any suggestions, or just leave it alone?
Also, any tips on what to do next? I have, so far, added a measly 10 MHz to my clock speed.
Thank you.
