QUOTE(tkh_1001 @ Nov 27 2008, 08:29 PM) hmm...normally a 2x2gb 800mhz ram wud suffice since quad core fsb normally will be walled at 450-470 like that.... value ram can OC oso if u want...just that u will have to run at loose timing  if u want performance ram for 4gb kit, iirc it shud be at a price tag of around rm300-400 in garage sales.... generally performance 4gb will OC to 9xx at CL4 and 1xxx at CL5 Personally, I feel that the price of performance ram does not justify it's performance gains. A minimal gain in performance (probably 3-4%??) for a huge gain in price.... Like tkh_1001 said, 2x2gb at 800mhz would be sufficient...... even a 2x2gb at 667mhz won't make much real-world difference.... Of course, that's my opinion  |

( money floating around lalala sad No need to be sad la... if you have money, go for the best!  Just remember that 4 sticks of ram (4 x 1gb) is more difficult to overclock than 2 sticks (2 x 2gb). |

QUOTE(pl4tinum @ Dec 12 2008, 07:41 PM) Guys can i ask what is the acceptable temperature for a Q6600 at max load after oc'ing? 70 is normal right? There's is no "acceptable temperature" or "safe temperature" for processors.... the lower, the better.... However, if you want a range, 60-65'c at load might be a safe bet...  |

QUOTE(pl4tinum @ Dec 13 2008, 10:30 AM) Oh... okay thanks for the clarification. Btw the onboard OC function of ur mobo does not give you a stable OC is it? Coz i was playing round wif my mobo and i noticed that gigabyte offers the easy tune program that automatically clocks to 3.2 Ghz for you. Are you directing the question to me? If so, the answer is yes, my mobo's OC function is functioning well. I can either OC from bios or easytune.... why do you ask?  |

QUOTE(pl4tinum @ Dec 13 2008, 12:35 PM) Lol anyone that can answer my problem oso can help. Since ur the only one answeirng so i guess i'll just bug you for now Neways i was just wondering, coz easy tune seems a bit to easy for overclocking, just click on the desired speed and it'll do it all for u. Easy tune's settings are confirmed stable ones is it? Or does it just provide you with a base and you need to fine tune from there? Thanks for the help ya. Easytune is just using software to overclock. The advantage is that you can easily overclock without rebooting. You can definitely overclock from BIOS, but you would need to reboot everytime you want to overclock more. For me, I use easytune to find my maximum acceptable overclocking speed, then set it in BIOS for a permanent overclocked setting.... |
