Need new RAM and Motherboard.

freaksavior · Jul 7, 2008

So my transcend blew up on me (not in a literal since) anyway i have a budget of about $120 give or take. I would like a 4gb kit and at least 1066mhz with good oc capability. I am not opposed to a 2gb kit, just prefer to have 4gb since my primary os is going to be vista 64

Thank you

I have never had any of those my man, but I am looking into getting the G Skill Pi ones but at 1100.

OzzmanFloyd120 · Jul 7, 2008

Actually Mushkin had a really good deal last week on a 4GB kit @ 4-4-4-12, I was showing them to Wolf, let me check to see if I still have the link and if they're still cheap.

First one is the kit I was talking about, but the 2nd is probably a little better quality. They're DDR800 though, I'm sure you can OC them past 1066though.

freaksavior · Jul 7, 2008

1066mhz bc i was hoping for 1200mhz.

i dont really like mushkin...there ok though.

dark2099 · Jul 7, 2008

Those Corsair Dominators, if actually the 1.1 revisions are hand picked D9s, so possibly your best bet.

freaksavior · Jul 7, 2008

I am starting to think my board is killing my ram... i have had some crucial that died in my maximus, my transcend died, and now im off to buy MORE ram. im leaning toward the G.SKILL ram i like the way the look

dark2099 · Jul 7, 2008

Actually some G.Skill might be your best bet, I've seen some people around here talking about having issues with pretty much every RAM except G.Skill on the Max.

freaksavior · Jul 7, 2008

i want to get rid of my maximus and get a dfi though..

I understand brand loyalty...

But I got my old D9 XP2s to 1200:

and these new ones are supposed to be even better.

How about 4x1GB of good ole Tracers?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148076

Should be able to get these going 1066 @ CL5.

wont buy crucial again, went through 6 of there sticks.

first set i messed with a lot, changed timing, volts speed ect

second set i pushed to much volts through em so i can understand that

3 set i didn't oc but maybe 150mhz at 2.2 (recommened volts) and they died.. again

Wow! Guess I will have to look around better for sticks when I decide to get new. Out of the options in your OP, the G Skills.

Have you considered Corsair DHX 800 CL4 2*2 GB kits?

They are slower, in MHz, but faster, in latencies.

Here's a link of a review of these (FudZilla):

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7278&Itemid=40

EDIT

I have a kit of Corsair DHX 800 CL4 2*1 GB kit (different then the one above: 2*1 and not 2*2) and i was able to OC it to 940 MHz @ 4-4-4-10 using 2.12 volts, IIRC: i imagine these 2*2 kits OC almost as good.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Jul 8, 2008

You missed me by like a week or so. I had 2 sets of 2x1GB aXeRAM for sale. Still have one set actually. (2x1GB)

freaksavior · Jul 8, 2008

well im leaning toward either
A) corsair dominator 1066
B) G.SKILL 1066mhz

I will have to take your word for it.

But, I believe that they have one of the best forums, and Greg is the RAM timings Guru.

freaksavior · Jul 8, 2008

Should i get 4 x 1gb or 2 x 2gb

farlex85 · Jul 8, 2008

I'd say the 2*2gb g.skill's. I doubt the corsair's are using d9's any more, most aren't, and I don't think they would be priced like that if they did. However, they would probably be good too. 2x2gb definitely though.

freaksavior · Jul 8, 2008

they're out of stock till the 11th so i think im going to try to order em then. plus i have to wait for my check from transcend anyway.

panchoman · Jul 9, 2008

biostar tpower i45 is the best x48 board out there :toast:

and the obvious difference would be the chipset.. and some minor details.. but mostly the chipset.

freaksavior · Jul 9, 2008

thats p45. i want 16 x 16 pci-e

panchoman · Jul 9, 2008

yeah sorry brain fart there... but the biostar pwns all motherboards in overclocking and fsb.. as for the 2 x 16.. grab the dfi or a gigabyte
