My friend give me this offer, should I bite or not?
Before you start, no, it is not a scam :D My friend is extremely rich and he just upgraded to i7 965, leaving an once-$1299 chip in his drawer. I told him I am interested and he gave me this offer without any hesitation.
To give you an...
I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting
It is completely stable at 425 x 9.5, RAM is L&S at 1700MHz. No graphic issue, or any issues for that matter.
But once I raise FSB to 430, I have all kind of graphic issue. Even the 3D setting preview box in the...
ok bursted! it is the ram. i unlinked it and set it at below 1700 mhz, then i can overclock as far as my cpu / my watercooling / my own nerve can take...
but the question remains... how to take my ram to its spec-ed speed of 2000mhz?

I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting
I found that I can OC much higher, I can set RAM to 1800MHZ and CPU to 450 x 9.5 = 4285 MHz with VCore = 1.43v in BIOS. This is Orthos stable for at least 12 hours, but I can't do any gaming or porn watching, or...
I will upgrade to this MB soon, I have my CPU and SLI watercooled now and I will do the same in my new rig.
And I do overclock. I hope to go as far as my new Q9450 permits
My question is, should I watercool the motherboard also? It already comes with a chipset block, but due to its...
ok, so you actually suggest me to go for 1800 MHz instead of 2000MHz? it is a 790i's problem that it can't work with 2000 MHz properly? but isn't that support for 2000MHz a strong point for 790i? so is it actually a OCZ memory's issue? or there is a compatibility issue between 790i and OCZ ram...
I am planning for my build, 2 components are confirmed so far, they are Q9450 and Asus S2E. Now I am thinking about RAM.
I planned to spend some money but after all these years in the OCing game I have learned to spend sensibly. My favorite brand name is Corsair, but their DDR3 modules are...
Now I am thinking about the cabling. The single-cable approach is very good, but it is very time consuming to make. The whole cabling system is being built with "raw" materials...power cords, D-Sub plugs, Electronic boards, jumper plugs, etc.....and there are more than 100 solder joints....Do...
