My Q6600(at 3.4Ghz) went pop in December, saving ever since - sold an Airsoft rifle etc etc
I have a Corsiar SSD and a ATI 512mb 487o card and a one tera drive ready
i need to buy ( i think )
Intel Core i5 2500K plus
Alpenfohn Matterhorn both for £191.99
LN38035 Asus P8P67-M Rev3 £92.39
I want to try for 4.5Ghz but which ram do i get ?
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-27, 1.65V £52.99 £63.59
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.50V
I know the vengence will interfere with the fan but it was the same with my SCYTHE NINJA and patriot ram - i just moved fan up a few rungs on the heatsink
If it is not practical i will put the fan on otherside (in pull mode) and bung some light plastic on side to act as ducting and draw air across fins )
But the ram things is a problem, i just dont see enough indepth ifo on timings and guides
On the old system i had the ram uderclocked to 955mhz and it was okay
Should i worry about this or it gonna have too little effect to notice
thx
