either kvr w/ bdbg or gskill eco/ripjaws should be decent buy.

bbse (older batch)/relabelled chippies (newer batch). bbse need higher volts.

yup bro, just in d house lastnite & outta house very soon. barts = lotsa $$$, thinkin of gettin low end 5750s to play, any comment bro? 5770 still expensive. price wise, 5750 is like 66% of a 5770...

3850 x-fire oc'ed (X6 @ 4/4.25GHz), 3dmark @ 20k
4850 x-fire oc'ed (x6 @ 4GHz), 3d mark 06 @ 22k
5770 x-fire oc'ed (X6 @ 4.25GHz), 3d mark 06 @ 25k

game play wise, 5770 x-fire is d best... DIRT: setting everything ultra @ 1920 x 1200 silky smooth, 4850 x-fire medium slightly lag sometimes, 3850 x-fire, ermmm... no comment...

how's ya geil ultra doin bro? recovered from high volt sickness ledi?

x nak high end card bro, 5770 considered high end to me... 5750 x-fire should be near to 5830 at least, not bad for very2 casual gamer like me. i dun game as hard as u guys...

another 0.03v? hmm... did u stress d ram @ higher freq w/ higher volt? i noticed that's what happened to mine.


cpu score does matter bro... put on x6 then diff story liao...

95 watt or not, it depends on batch. there was a 95 watter 1055t bulk order here in sg. almost all users weren't happy w/ their chip...

i'm not sayin all 95watter are bad clockers thou, just that there'll always be black sheep in a family. some more, those shown in xs usually are cherry picked chips, so...

i'm puttin high hope on 1065t, but still, d multi still a tad low, to me at least...

not really, it depends on d clock, ram & imc freq mileage a chip can offer.

choi!!! i love ice lemon tea too bro...

no result to post but got a picture of state of d art amd rig to share. d best lookin amd rig i've ever seen...

yup bro... that kinda setup make me wet my pant... d only thing missin there is another 5970... this kinda highest end rig must have x-fire setup...

it's a haf932 be... unisleeved psu... very2 tedious job...

they're scythe gentle typhoon bro... from d name itself i guess they're quite...

will be havin that kinda budget come next month, but if i really use it for d rig i'll be sleepin outside (in stead of my bed) for whole year long...

even ram oso wc... d arrangement + neatness of d case is something we don't see everyday.

my case is like, ermmm... no comment ...

psc... but 6-8-6 @ 1600 not tight really tight coz i consider only 6-6-6 as tight...

never really try 2t but if it boosts significant mileage, why not givin it a go.

gud job there... ironically in some cases (like mine), athlon II can do slightly tighter timing @ lower freq (1800 & below) if compared to thuban...

(from my noob experience) u know it (havin normal~low grade psc chippies) when:

1. trcd can never equal to cl @ high freq
2. voltage used is not as high as elpidas (bar hyper which i never try)
3. 7-8-7/7-9-7 is good for 1900 ish

as much as possible, i dun like to overvolt (pump voltage higher than d one able to make it stable) d ram. i always feel that runnin ram @ high volt for 24/7 will cause ram to degrade.

most of d time more volt won't hurt, but there're cases where more isn't always d better. yas mite just be one of those. btw, can u define "unstable" stated? fail in benchies/prime or bsod/restart?

ur slow bro... yup, only flare are binned specially for thuban.

psc chippies are good for high freq (> 2k) while hypers are good for 1900ish @ 6-6-6. given d capability of imc differ from chip to chip, it's a safer bet to put money on hyper instead of psc. not all chip can do > 2k on ram easily.

i wish i got a rig like that too but sadly it isn't mine.

sad to hear that. have u tried plugin out battery & all power source for long hours? hope things will be back to normal.

it's knda amazin that a pair of cheapo 5750 can score almost close to a pair of 5770 hawk...

i'd say ram/imc related... can i assume higher volt doesn't help to improve ram mileage?

something new, not as gud as d eco but i can say they're almost in d same league. not kvr too. kinda disappointed with d 1st run attempt... will try out more tomorrow...



btw, Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all d Muslim bros here... may u all have a wonderful time with ya frens & family...

nope, not kingston...

very2 good result there, a 'lil more tweak then ur good to go... vdimm used is?

a slight improvement... seems like d 1090 doesn't like 1600 divider...

nope... corsair aint my cup of tea, unless dom gt...

am speechless.... kvr runnin 1700 @ 6-8-6? that's insane... master class oc...

of all deneb i've tried, there's none i can reach 4GHz prime stable @ quad w/ air coolin. i think it's more of chip + coolin limitation unless ur gettin very lucky to have a golden batch. 3.9GHz (quad) is not much of a hassle thou especially w/ decent batch of c3...


2k done, same timing w/ d eco but higher volt...

welcome onboard bro, glad to see u here. vrz is full of intel fanboy...

for blend test, i always use custom with:
1. min fft @ 8
2. max fft @ 4096
3. memory to use at least half of ya total ram size
4. time to run @ 1 minute

*cpu test is 8-512k, so if i want a quick test on ram only, i'll use 1024~4096. dunno how accurate it is but i'd say blend test is still d safest way for all components stressin.

yup, i'm aware of that. looks like kingston still maintain d tradition of given out good chippies on kvr, just that it's more confusin this time coz buyin relabeled chip sticks can be 2 edge sword, if u get good chippies then voila, but if d chippies are alibaba, then...

something value but no so value (around 50% more expensive) than kvr. keep guessin... btw, i really miss my old 1055t, this 1090t is makin d eco 1333 & its compatriot looks like normal ram.

nolah, just realized how gud (my own standard lah, to others mebe so so only ) is d eco if compared to this mysterious ram. if u want this pm me... doubt so thou coz it's not as gud as ya geil ultra imo (but it'll definitely looks gud on ya chiv ).



there's no way a thuban can't oc pass 210, even w/ stock multi. ram holdin u back mebe? what's d ram & board runnin atm?

it really depend how u oc, for benchers all they care are high cpu clock & imc freq, ram wise benchers usually use tight timing around 2k that's why most of d time they opted BE chips. playin w/ BE chips not necessarily mean takin short cuts coz not everyone into multi oc, but for sure they'll have more option when it comes to maximizin clock/freq for all as in cpu clock, nb & ram freq...

& not all BE chips clock well w/ ram.

exactly sir, i'll bet my BE chip on that.

not bein bias but there are better options out there, be it asus, giga or even biostar.

tbh, it's kinda hard to get a 8xx based board w/ that budget. if budget is fixed @ not more than RM300, i'd rather get giga's 770t-ud3 (RM278@viewnet, 8+1pwm )if cf is not a concern. if budget slightly flexible, i reckon ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 is not a bad choice. @ RM325 (czone), u got a real 8xx based board, pwm is not perfect @ 4+1 but u get turbo-v which make fine tuning in windows alot easier.
