Yeah! i wasnt able to go past FSB 400 with the MSI Board, and i have like 4-5 kits of HQ Ram to test out! current board is a little flaky, regarding memory clocking and volting, so i got the Rampage, which should be a killer, regarding FSB and Memclocking, if im not wrong.

Kits to test are:
2x1gb dominators v1.6,DDR 1066,2.1v

2x1gb dominators v1.2,DDR 1066,2.2v

2x1gb crucial ballistix,ddr 800, with glued spreaders and 2.0v

2x2gb Geil Ultra (the ones with the massive,orange spreader),ddr1066,2.2-2.4v

2x2gb Gskill Tridents,DDR 1066,1.8v

sounds good? :laugh:;)

ahh yes that ram is wonderful(atleast mine was) mine loved CAS4 but didn't get much from going cas5 wouldn't even post with CAS6. I want the Tridents(my b-day is in a few months :p)

that sounds familiar! mine also hate cas 6 :laugh: which timings do you ran with them back then, at what speed?:)

tridents are to be received... either them, or the Geil have to be used to built a rig for a friend, i will determine which of them i will use, after i had clocked them both up,and seen, what they both are capable of in the Rampage ;-)!
 
My output is going to be down, my parents are starting to complain about the power usage of the computers....I've offered to pay for the extra power, but they say no. They've threatened to remove WCG/F@H if I leave the computers on as much as I have been, so I'm going to have to be careful (read: leave them off most of the time) for the next couple weeks
 
Heh, offer to pay part of the power bill and they still say no. lolwut

Sometimes you just can't win man, you really believe in a cause and put your heart into it and people just don't listen to reason.
 
Some adults think they know everything/are always right. Not all of them grow out of that teenager stage. ;)

On a more serious note. Something went SNAFU with my main rig last night, had to reinstall Windows. :(
 
ION your efforts were, are, and will be recognized always bro. Don't get in trouble with the peeps at home :toast:

I offered to cover the entire part of the electric bill that is a result of my crunchers (CD2M and X4), but they said no, it's a waste of money and electricity??? :rolleyes: :wtf:

Go figure, I'll continue crunching as much as I can, but I'm sure it'll be less than before (especially with summer)
 
@ion
Very understandable bro.. It sucks all you can do is try to get them involved. Even then with today's economy it might not be what's right for the household.. I know I understand and I'm sure most members here at TPU do as well.

So what ever you can do will be awesome! Just a little or a lot really doesn't matter. What matters is that your heart is in the right place! :toast:

@tPU Members

Hey look what I ordered today! :toast: This will mainly be a FTP/file server. Oh and cruncher!.. hehehe

Well I got my main rig up and crunching again, for me at the moment. I may switch it back to crunching for Stanley tomorrow if I have time. I have a PC to build today. :laugh:

If you put your files on a USB stick and carry them from PC to PC then you will be good for at least 3000 PPD extra. 2900 if u dont. Congrat :toast:

Can't really do that.. lol That kind of defeats the purpose of the file server.. hehehe Plus my server is redundant and far surpasses a USB Stick. But I like the way you think :toast: And thanks for the suggestion bro and the congrats! :toast:

I would have been like "oh, so when someone gets cancer and I could have possibly cured it with one of these machines, it's a waste of money and electricity...", or maybe not, seeing as how they already seem to be unreasonable, heh

good comeback, but sometimes there is just nothing that can be done bro. If I'm not mistaken ION is 15 years old, if that is the case and please note, I may be wrong on the age and have confused him for some one else. But if that's the case, you know it's his parents and what can he do you know? His parents maybe tell him so he don't waste his money paying for the elec. bill. However, although to me it's worth it, maybe it just doesn't seem worth it to them. At this point, it's not that bad, he'll still crunch and he will still be who he is to us. A great member who has helped and done the impossible for the team.

ION, you are a great asset to the TPU WCG TEAM MY FRIEND :respect: :respect: :toast: :toast:

Sweet bro! I can't wait for mine!... :rockout: The board should be nice too. I wanted a 890FX but didn't have the extra to spend (I seen the BioStar for the same price, but I lean more toward ASUS boards)... I'm just wondering how well that cooler will perform on the x6? I've heard the x6's are just as cool as the x4's. I remember that cooler doing very well on x2, but wonder if it will be as good with the x6's. I only had a budget of 40 bucks for a cooler.. I think I made the best choice.. what do you think?

NICE! I want that board!... hehehe 1055t or 1090t? I wonder if Paul seen my earlier post where I said something to him about the program we talked about? I figure he is busy and will get to me. :toast:

Oh yea what ram did you get? I hope my ram does well.. I got it 10 bucks off. plus its cas7
 
@ Mindweaver
Congrats on the new build.
The temps on this chip will blow you're mind (ideal 13c, load 32 @ stock)
I just don't trust temps that low. That is why I haven't pushed it yet.
P.S my overclock is only 3.5 I posted wrong. My bad
