dual channel high fsb = black screen while playing games?
at 210 fsb i wont have this problem, but if i set it say at 216 ill play any game for a little bit then the screen will turn black and act like its not getting any data...

this is only in dual channel, i can run both sticks of corsair 3500 up to 230 by themselves so its not the chips...

i have my vdd @ 1.9 and vdimm @ 2.84

Odd... I have the same issue at 212 mhz FSB when I use the mousewheel in internet explorer. Kinda resembles a AGP issue to me, tho I tried upping the AGP voltage a bit and that didn't make any differance.

Have you tried both slots in bank 1?
High vcore and high fsb seems to be a bit of a problem with these boards DH ( as you know) for some folks.

I have the same setup, 2x256MB Corsair PC3500.
They can run@225Mhz DC without problems (memtest 10000% coverage).
Try running memtest on your system (choose memtest in downloads list).
Start memtest 1,2 and type 192MB to test; wait till it has completed at least 5000%, 10000 are better.
Or maybe you have to add a bit more Vcore to your CPU (alternatively you could try to lower the mult and see if it's stable then)

did you try both optimal and aggressive setting?
Does a higher FSB work (lets say 220 dc) when you lower the mult?

no i could be at a 3x multi and it'll still do it... but actually i just lowered my vdimm to 2.7 and it has seemed to fix the problem... kinda wierd

could aggressive be better than optimal? i thought it would decrease stabililty

dropping the voltage down allowed me to actually play the games at 216 but i dont think it was perfectly stable... would onnly run it at cas 2.5 as well... this bites

I had the same problem until I raised my Vdd. It seems some people have to raise it higher than others...

The system in my sig is my everyday PC. It's been running at those specs for 4 months now... :beer:

Let me add: "100% Stable!!"

I'm cooling the NB with a stock AMD HSF, but changed then fan for a 60mm Delta. I mounted it with a zip-tie. It's on there pretty good and secure...
