fail to boot at bios option and make long beep .

u gotta check whether it's memory or cpu clock is causing d instability. lower either ram divider or cpu multiplier one at a time so that u can find out d culprit.

yeah, i have try.
thanks ah khoo ,

hi guys! its been a while.. now im planning to replace my mobo and proc and ram.. what will stay in my good ol centurion 5 are my ggbyte odin550wtt and gtx275 plus all the hdd.. what would you recommend me to get? the technology is so darn fast and i could not even catch up.. stopped playing since ddr3 came.. so im totally new, and please guide me.
p/s: im more into gaming and if 4 cores doesnt utilize much, i wont mind getting a higher end dual core.. but i believe u guys know better, and would recommend me the best bang for buck setup! thanks!

Hurrhhhhh maybe a combo of PII X4 960T + Asus M5A97 + DDR3 would do the trick?

hi all sifu, wanna ask something, between 1333 & 1600 ram, the performance is close or 1600 is far better performance from 1333 ram?
i just bought corsair vengeance 1333Mhz 8GB & now im thinking why i just didnt buy corsair vengeance 1600Mhz..

if you are not running benchmarks 1333 is enough

you wont notice any difference between 1333 and 1600 in real life applications anyway....

that's a good choice there sir.

for normal day-to-day activities, quantity > quality. as for benchies, u can directly compare freq to freq, timing does matter too.

ok thanks for the info btw before this i only use 2GB kingston value ram which is give me super duper lagging when i run photoshop CS5 with other program run, after i upgrade, i really feel the big different in performance..
no more lagging now, all application run very smooth & fast btw my pc is now is 10GB ram (8GB + 2GB)

10 gb vs 2gb sure got difference la...lol

nothing to do with the ram speed...just quantity.. 4gb is normally enough for normal users, those that run CS5 or video encoding normally will go for more

if ur not fully utilizin 10GB i'd suggest leavin d system run 8GB (2x4GB), performance wise dual channel is better than single channel (2x4GB + 1 x2GB).

my ram is running dual channel now 2x4GB + 2x1GB

2x1GB is the 1st DDR3 ram i bought 2 years ago, that time 1GB DDR3 is RM130, so expensive , i bought 1GB 1st & then 4 month later i bought again 1GB until today i upgrade

oh my bad, if that's d case just nice then... if u don't oc 2 x dual channel is ok, but if u do, that will limit ya ram oc mileage.

maybe im not oc, just use it normaly, only want to run my CS5 smoothly

im not good in ram oc, before this just oc my cpu, the best i got is 3.4Ghz stable

when you learn to OC ram,you will become more addicted to OC ram more than OC proc. just my poison opinion

i tried it yesterday, set the speed to 15++ Mhz, 5 minute on window then got BSOD, i use Athlon II X3 435 & Asus M4A77TD Pro mobo , is it true Athlon series only support 1066 & 1333 ram? if i put 1600 ram on it then is it will run only 1333Mhz?

any ram you put will run at default 1333. try using 2 identical ram only. use your 4GbX2 only.
if your ram speed (1333 module), when you wanna run at higher speed, might need to pump
vdimm a bit. try set the ram voltage at 1.60Vdimm then try to OC the ram again

btw can list your spec here?

here is my spec

Processor : AMD Athlon II X3 435 unlock to 4 core Phenom II X4 B35
Mobo : M4A77TD PRO
Ram : 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance CL9 + 2x1GB Kingstone value ram
GC : Asus HD4670 128 bit
Power Supply : Silverstone Strider 500w

better if i use only 2x4GB & oc or just use current setting without oc? which is more fast between this 2 setting?
my ram speed is 1333Mhz, so is it true i cant use 1600 ram due to limited memory support on Athlon series?

From your spec i think u should have no problem running ur ram at 1600mhz, that speed should be no problem for a rana cpu to run..
Tho ur ram oc maybe hindered by the combination of different rams and ur IMC..

What is ur IMC volt & speed setting during oc btw?

erk what is IMC volt? speed setting during oc is 15++ Mhz btw i need to oc my processor to get above 1333 speed option, if with standard setting it will give me option 800Mhz - 1333Mhz, if i oc let say 3.4Ghz the option speed is 800Mhz-1800Mhz
