Look at the pictures of the cpu pin from the link louislkw gave, even tho AM3 socket is 941pin but AM3 cpu is only 938pin yoo..
While AM3+ cpu has 940pin active, it could mean that those AM3 mobo's that manufacturer had electrically activate all 941pin on their socket may able to use AM3+ cpu..
There are basis to what some of these people claim, we just have to wait for official annoucement from AMD, hope it would be a good one just like bro louislkw mention

Well..fingers crossed

Oh yea, if given the choice of tight timing with lower frequency and loose timing with high frequency.
Which one would be a better choice?

I'd take tight timings with lower frequency anytime of the day, 1600mhz is more than enuff for me

how bout buying high freq n loose timing ram n tighten the timing?gskill sniperrrrrrrrr

u will end up disappointed. why u take high freq (i assume 2k and above) but most of rams rated on intel. and u cant get it run at 2k u will curse ur ram cuz cant even run at rated. dont even mention tightening the timings.
but if u buy a 1600mhz ram, and it runs at 1800mhz then u feel good already..cuz i will run more than rated..kekeke.thats why last time i like value rams.. 1333>1900mhz makes me feel good

Alamak no like button Kids listen to this ram guru, i only ram garu

Woo...1600Mhz OC it 1800Mhz..feels good man..
But my mobo only up 1666Mhz

psychology lor...hehe...want to get >2k mhz ram and run @ rated get inhell lo

@cloudwan: we garu ram ada la

Latest RAM Timing.

8-9-8-23-30 @ 1.6v  /  FSB:DRAM = 3:10

MemTest pass 1 round. No error found.

Prime for 15 minutes. 2 sessions. Success.

Looks like OK. But is tight timing faster or slower?  So far I'm quite satisfied with my current clock and configuration
Do you think its possible to push 3.8Ghz with this RAM timing? Now running stable at 3.6Ghz  

Have modded my casing by adding another 12cm intake fan. Have to take out 3 DVD Bays to do that. Looks ugly but it works.
Temperature is lower by 8c

this is my idle temp


i dont have the max temp with me, but im pretty sure by using core-temp software i got 75 C max when i run both CPU burn-in + 3DMark11

btw im using mobo GA-MA74GMT-S2 Rev 00

thanks

sorry, now im using HWmonitor
just now i let my PC idle for 30 min and the result as pic below
