OCZ PC 4000 VX Tuning

Well, I ordered the OCZ PC4000 Gold 2GB Kit, but in the mean time, I thought I’d just tweak up the single stick of OCZ PC 4000. Interesting to see how to get the settings right. Basically, I got the thing with memtest to be stable at 238MHz FSB 1:1 with very tight 1T 2-2-2-6 timings running at a modest 3.2V rather than a barn burning 3.4V. Windows also booted, but Prime95 failed on one core after a few minutes. In general, I’m finding that having two cores both going full bore, is much more stress and you have to really turn down the clock rates on the processor. Hopefully 235MHz will be stable.

CPU. He had an Operon 148 or Venus running at 1.45V, the LDT Voltage and Chipset Voltage were at 1.2 and 1.5 respectively and the Dram voltage was at 3.2

The other complex settings were:
