6800NU - Can't OC mem - 2005/03/12 16:54
My system... - A64 2800+ @ 2616MHz - MSI Neo Platinum K8N - Chill Innovation 510W, 25A @ 12V (it's enough!)
I've got Inno3D GeForce 6800, working 16/6, BIOS modded from 1.2V to 1.4V. With 325 @ 400MHz core working good... (stable in 3DMark03 loop overnight, but crashes in 3DMark05 after 3 hours - weird). Anyway I can't OC the memory without artifacts! Stock is 700MHz, 720MHz gives blinking textures...
FastWrites is off, tried a lot of drivers, tried 12/5 1.2V, stock speed of core... Nothing helps. I've got Zalman 80 + OP1 cooler...
 And core never reach more than 55°C! RAMs don't have heatsinks but they don't need any I think, they always remain very cool because the OP1 blowing air on them.
The most weird thing is that the mem used to work fine at 800MHz like a month ago with stock cooling (with my old nForce2 motherboard). I don't remember if my bad OCing possibilities started with the change of CPU and MB. Also, when I was mounting my Zalman cooler, I was in a hurry and I broke some small thingie which is around memory chip. But I carefully glued it back. I don't think this could be the reason of bad OC, it wouldn't work even at 700MHz if I broke it...
By the way... Sorry for my English.
