Hey guys, real quick question. I have these 3 parts and I was wondering if they'll all work together and how much you guys think I can OC the processor.

1. Mobo: ECS BLACK SERIES A780GM-A AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G

2.1 RAM set 1: OCZ 2x 1gb DDR2 800 RAM
2.2 RAM set 2: G.Skill 2x 2gb DDR2 800 RAM

3. CPU: Athlon II X4 635 AM3 CPU

I'm pretty sure one can use an AM3 cpu in an AM2+ motherboard as long as you use DDR2, but I could always be wrong :p

Major concern is the different timing and voltages and manufacturer on the RAM, 4-4-4-15@2.1v vs 4-4-4-12@1.9v. Would all these work in one system?
 
Err.. nobody knows?
 
Thanks! Do you know if I can run those 2 sets of memories together?
 
Wouldn't bother running with both TBH.
 
ones 4-4-4-12 and the others 4-4-4-15 thats ok BUT Gskill is 1.8-1.9v and the OCZ is 2.1v so i would worry there if the OCZ wont work with the lower voltage and i would worry about overvolting the Gskill to keep up
 
Motherboard manufacturers should have a QVL list for both CPU and RAM on their website somewhere.
