Is anyone here using an asus P5B Deluxe motherboard?
if so, what kind of ram are you running?
here's my pickle (if I can call it that):
Mistake #1:
I initially bought, and still have, 2 gigs of ddr2-800 ocz 'gold edition' ram. which I purchased based on a picture I saw of somone running the same mobo & ram, thinking well if he's running it, it's gotta work at least, and I was under the impression the timings were nice as well...plus it was 10 bucks cheaper than others...woopty do.
after a week or two of pulling my hair trying to figure out what the hell was wrong (mistake #2) my dumb ass finally called tech support to have the guy on the other line say "oh that type ram don't work".... Then shortly after I called I saw the posts you guys made telling me it was probably my ram... Tech support told me to buy kingston or corsair and that they'd definitley work. then I see these comments in some review on new egg saying that the corsair ddr2-800 and kingston ddr2-800 don't overclock well....
so here I am, crying to you guys cause I apparently dunno wtf I'm doing... but I'm trying to figure it out.
I have 2 gigs of ocz ram that I THINK I can use if I up the ram voltage to 2v. But no ram to boot off of to adjust it... (Im thankful that I at least know the ram is the problem, I borrowed someone's ram to tell, but they ain't available no more)
anyone have any suggestions?
or comments? like "haw haw, n00b!!!"
thanks
