Hi,im new to Overclocking and I have run a test on prime 95 and got an error message after 9 minutes. It Reads FATAL ERROR:Rounding was 0.5,expected less than 0.4. Hardware failure detected. Can anyone help me to diagnose what the problem is? Don't know what this means. Guess I should tell you what I have. 680iLT motherboard 4GB OCZ SLI PC6400 Q6600 CPU 250 GB WD HDD zalman 9700 cpu heatsink I have the cpu overclocked to 2.9.it won't go any higher without crashing.Can anyone help me? |

Are you doing the blend test or the small fft?

| With 4gb of memory your probably gonna have to run at least 2.0v maybe even 2.1 or 2.2

Looking at your CPU and RAM speeds - are you running with a 6x CPU multiplier? There isn't a production motherboard out there that will support a FSB speed higher than about 470-480 MHz with a Quad-core. Also, that RAM appears to need a little more voltage than just 1.8. Since you're technically running it beyond spec, it almost certainly does. Have you verified that your sticks of RAM are capable of running stable at that speed? If not, you might have to drop their speed.

Thought so. If I had to guess, I'd say that you're running a memory ratio that's too high. You'll need to go into your BIOS and change it. Somewhere in the BIOS, you should have the option of setting a memory divider or memory ratio. I don't know exactly what format it will take, but it should give you options such as "1:1, 1:1.25, 1:1.5, 1:2, etc" or possibly "1:1, 4:5, 2:3, etc". You might even have an "unlinked" option, since it's a Nvidia board. This determines the RAM's frequency, based on the FSB. For now, you'll want to set it so that the memory's frequency is as low as possible, which will probably be "1:1", and which will make your RAM run at 322 MHz.
