I'm currently using a
e6400 C2D 2.88ghz 24/7. wouldnt mind to be faster.
Asus P5B-E motherboard
Wintec Ampx ddr2 667 2x1gb 5-5-5-15 1.8v
im looking to spend around 200. Ive had the FSB up to 425 before i think the ram couldnt do it anymore. Looking to get better ram or better mobo. which should i go with and any suggestions. or any way to get both for around that price. motherboard can only do up to 2.1v on the memory.
the ram is budget ram, so if you can get some crucial ballistix, cheap and fast. The mobo should be okay. but if you can get a P35 Motherboard like the IP35-E, or the Ip35 Pro and/or DFI P35 DK mobo, all great overclocking boards
Get the new DFI DFI P35 board for like 159 dollars its a killer of a mobo, + I find it got 1 of the nicest color sheme:X
how is the GA-P35-DS3L or the asus p5k-e.
anyone else have any inputs
ide go ram since its holding ur oc back it can go higher on that board
Id go with ram to your being held back by ram not the motherboard right now. Get some new ram and see how high you can go I run my ip35-e at 412x9 to make it around 3700mhz. It will do 480 but my pc6400 ram not so happy with those clocks.
the only reason im wondering about the motherboard is because it can only go to 2.1 vdimm. Alot of the faster memory is looking at 2.2v.
