Looks like either they were stretching the truth a bit with how much load they were putting on it, or sabotage.

I'm holding off until Nehalem.
Heck, I'm even holding off on upgrading my video card until next year.

If I can do it, so can you!

Isn't Orthos essentially the same as Prime95?

Do we actually have any proof that higher voltages will kill these chips?

Like have people been reporting overvolting too high and burning them up, or is it all just speculation at this point?

Using 2GB here just fine.

My Vista is snappy as it is, but then again, I know how to properly run Windows, so...

Dear god that thing dwarfs even the Tuniq Tower!

Anyone with a DS3R tested one of these yet?

I'm thinking about picking up an E8400 and 2 more gigs of RAM...will having 4x1GB hinder my OC ability?

Holy crap that's just retarded.

I'd like to see the mounting hardware required for this stuff, lol.

How high do you speculate I could get an E8400 on air cooling (parts listed in sig).
Also, would having all 4 memory banks filled cause any problems?

Ok, it's decision time for me and I need some help.

First off, you should know my machine is primarily used for gaming. I don't need extra power for editing, rendering, benchmarking, or anything...

Are there any examples where a Quad Core, when clocked the same as a Dual Core, gives any significant gaming performance in any games?

Are there any performance/OC differences between using 4x1GB and 2x2GB?
I've heard 2x2 is always better...

I used search but I couldn't find anything definitive.

I also though asking in this thread would reduce clutter (who wants to see two "which ram" threads on the same page?).

But whatever, I see...

Sorry for the hijack, but...

Can anyone recommend a good 4GB kit that OC's well and doesn't break the bank?

Once you discover you can use Rivatuner to display basically any system stat, you will never want to go without an LCD screen again.

No love for the DS3R?
; ;

The thing is, I really don't have any way to test them, and having them both go bad at the exact same time just seems so unlikely.
Would there be any hassle if I sent them back to crucial and they...

Well, the f7d bios didn't help, so I'm back to square one.
Something weird did happen, though. The last time I tried the crucial sticks, I heard a strange metallic squeak as I powered down the...

Yes, I tried every combination with all the slots, but it refuses to boot with the crucial ram (which im certain isnt faulty).
I'm going to run over to my parents' house and get the new f7b bios and...

I only get it when using my Crucial ram. If I use my Corsair ram everything is just fine.
It's really baffling...

PS - I should mention the bios it came with is F5.

Okay, this is weird...

I set the vdimm to 2.2 with my corsair sticks in, switched em out with my crucial sticks, and now when i boot, instead of posting, it loads up some bootblock bios thing that...

I just got my DS3R, and it's great except for the fact that it won't POST with my PC-8000 2.2v Crucial RAM.
It will, however, work with some old Corsair RAM which I think is rated at 1.9v.
I've...

Alright, I bit the bullet on the DS3R. From what I've read the only major "problem" it tends to have is vdroop, which is to be expected anyway. Hopefully this board will carry me through next year...

If I order a DS3R from newegg, is it pretty much guaranteed that I'll get a rev. 2?

15 months is definitely far enough away for me not to worry about. I was thinking more of the beginning of next year with the 45nm chips and such, but I see now the P35 will support them.

As for...
