i have a couple questions about memory.
should i get 4x1gb or 2x2gb?
i am thinking of DDR1066 mem, what are some good models i should consider?
thanks everyone!
2x2 will OC better. As fas as recommending a particular kit I can't say as you live in Canada and I don't think newegg ships there.
Check www.NCIX.com, they have a lot of variety in memory.
As for you, my fellow Torontonian, I've seen the P35 do some nice stuff with a lot of varieties of RAM. I would try to poke around and find someone who's used some on your specific board and see.
im actually living in the US now so i forgot to update my info.
im debating between:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145197
any thoughts or recommendations?
Hmm... I have had seen the Corsairs here on XS clocked up to 1140 MHz
Check the Xtreme Bandwidth section.
I dont know about that - Unless things have improved since I last looked at 2x2GB I would have thought you will be able to get high overclocks with tighter timings with good quality 8500 4x1GB RAM and its dirt cheap at the moment. Benefits of 2z2GB are less load on the MB and extra slots but nothing uses more than 4GB at present unless you are into serious CAD/Video. I wouldnt waste money when DDR3 is going to be the future. Most current games dont need anymore than 2GB .Take your pick of the 2x1GB kits as long as they have D9GMH chips which are great overclockers - http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/ get 2 of them if you have vista x64 as it will make use of it. Waste of money if you have Winxp cos it cant use anything above 3GB and the operating system doesnt need it. I like my ballistix 8500s and crucial have good support/RMA service but there are plenty others that clock just as well and have good support.Quote:

WOW! This is what im talking about:

too bad they are the old kits. i wonder how the new ones do.
still on the fence about this kit though

what's better, more stable and stuff for a maximus formula, BIOS 505, using a q6600 G0:
my quad is at 3.6ghz.
450x8 or 400x9??????????
I've got some 2x1gb XMS6400 rev. 5.2 at @900
just ordered the GSkill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ from newegg. hope they work well with the DFI P35-T2RS and G0 :)
I got the 'doubled sided' Ballistix 8500 and they are running at 1200Mhz with 2.14v and Performance Level 5-6.Quote:

I can get stability at the same voltages with both on my P5K prem, but i get .2% higher benchmarks at 400x9 for some reason...Quote:

My mb options go from +10mv and up.
I am at 4050mhz at 1.55V and +30mv, can get into window up to 4.2G but would be happy with 4.1G stable.
How high can I raise my PCI-E mhz to? Right now I'm at 110mhz. My specs are in my signature. I'm trying to get more out of my 8800gt and maybe more stability from my Q6600. Right now my Vcore on my CPU is 1.42v At 3600mhz my Q6600 is very stable but I would like to lower the voltage a little. The quad core complete Super Pi 32M every time. I don't use Prime anymore, it's overkill.
Anyway, just curious how high I can raise the PCI-E mhz.
I have a 1.30 VID Q6600 G0 too. I suspect this VID is your limiting factor.
I have been unable to get a stable run of Prime over 3 GHz with Vcores less than 1.4v. The heat generated with Vcore of 1.4v or more means running the fans faster and I choose to run at 3 GHz for less fan noise.
My 3GHz setup idles at 31 C and reaches 60 C with Prime95 using a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 heatsink.
Vcore droops almost 0.1 v at load on my IP35 Pro v1.1.

My friend has recently acquired a Q6600 G0 and is having similar problems on a P5KR (around 0.1v drop under load and >0.05v between BIOS setting and resultant sensor reading). I suspect it's his PSU as it's an old Antec 480W TrueBlue and only has a 20-pin connection to the motherboard.Quote:

Thanks in advance.
Getting my Q6600 next week. I hope I can get it up to ~4GHz..
What Vcore do you all use for +4GHz?
Depend on your VID. mine is 1.2750v so for 4 ghz I need 1.6v for screen.Quote:

There aren't many people running 4GHz 24/7, so don't get your hopes too high on this one. Even if you get lucky you'll propably have to pump some serious voltagle into the chip, so decent WC is a must.Quote:

CPU Q6600 VID 1.225VQuote:

I now have a striker II formula and with the same ram, cpu and cooling I am running 4050mhz at 1.55Vcore and 45C full load. I am running 4125mhz about 6min OCCT at 1.6V and with some tweeks might get it stable. Can get into windows at 4.2G
My Q6600 ;)

The screen is about of only 1h of Prime95, but it's daily RS for 2 weeks now...

P.S. sorry for my bad english... :shrug:
