hi guys...

Im planning to unlock my phenom II x2.
not planning for overclocking yet.
and.. i have below decent knowledge about hardware biggrin.gif
my current rig:

AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
MSI 770-C45
Kingston KVR DDR3 1333 2GB
Kingston KVR DDR3 1333 2GB
Sapphire HD 4870 512MB DR5
LG DVDRW 22x
WD 500GB 7200 RPM
Vantec ION2 500w
Coolermaster Elite 335
Acer X233H

to be replace before unlocking:- (limited budget)
1. ram - suspected faulty coz get error from memtest lastnite. also maybe the reason why i got random bsod after idle/streaming movie.
going to test one by one.
Question: is 4gb value RAM good enuff?

2. psu - planning to get 2nd 700w tagan.
Question: will my rig waste power (sh!t, i dunno how to elaborate this blush.gif biggrin.gif )

3. heatsink - getting better than stock, such as cm 212 evo or equal. my current cpu fan already at 6000 rpm doh.gif (average 44'c)

4. Fan - atm, my casing have front(120mm) and rear(120mm), i tot to add 1 more <120mm fan at side panel (custom) too cooling my gpu.(atm idle= 58'c). placing below gpu-blow in+filter.
Question: 120mm or 90mm fan?, should i plug all fan case to mobo or psu? (atm. rear=mobo. front= psu)


am i doing this rite? hmm.gif biggrin.gif

feedback plz thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

1. any value ram is good. or even better if the chip is good because some so called 'perfomance ram' is not good
    if the chip is not good. again, if we are talking about non-OC setup, any value ram is good actually.

2. for me, if the PSU come with cheap price, why not?  brows.gif
    its only a waste if you buy new >600W at >RM350 but your rig only consume below than 400W  nod.gif

3. best bang for buck  drool.gif  pair the evo 212 with another 120mm fan. make it push-pull setup  rclxms.gif

4. if the fan is below 1.5A, you can plug em to your mobo. but i personally always connect the fan direct to PSU,
    only the proc (HSF) fan is connected to the mobo  nod.gif

very well explanation mate.. ez to understand rclxms.gif biggrin.gif

update: just bought 2nd tagan psu and unused? heatsink... but not evo... its hyper n520. both from hope_remember. cheap!(says my wallet)

1.Value ram not an issue of OC for black edition processor
2.700w too much for your rig even after OC kaw kaw, get a 80+ around 500w will do
3.depend on your budget, CM 212 evo not bad after all (with direct heat pipe)
4.i prefer 120mm, you can plug all to psu, then side panel to mobo (so that you can set auto adjust the fan speed via mobo)

hope this will help biggrin.gif

thx mate... thumbup.gif
however already bought the 700w and n520
edit: change tagan to cm 550w real power for some reason.

hope_remeber, definitely he has a very good ram (winova xtune) which is consider cheap but the perfomance is  drool.gif
if you intend to OC you ram (which is i recommend you to OC ram as well), just get the xtune from hope_remember.

for me, no point if OC the proc only without increase the ram speed and tighten the ram timing nod.gif
this ram easily run at 1800 CL8 at below 1.6Vdimm  drool.gif  xtune review by Sir ah_khoo

didnt know that....
might ask him bout this ram.
previous plan to get corsair/kingston value ram whistling.gif biggrin.gif
