[zanzabar]

hey gys,
decided to move my crucials to use with my i45 board. so im looking for a 2x2gb kit of 1066+ ddr2 ram for my ltx48
any opinions on some proven sets that work well with this board? or x48 chipset

-found these-

opinions?

those will kill your loop, and they use the same powerchips as any1 else, the mushkin accent is much better, since it wont kill any parts

[freaksavior]

my q9550 is @ 3.915 and 1.48-1.51v is that to much?

i wouldnt go above 1.45v

[adya]

get the mushkin in my sig, it is just as good as that ocz, and ocz is usually crap so i wouldnt buy it even if it was cheaper

k thanks , ill have to buy o.s though since mushkins aint available in australia.

i noticed that u only have them running at 1141mhz? were u able to run them at 1200mhz stable? see i really want 1200mhz this time.

also is 996619 the only decent batch ? or which should i look out for? theres quite a few.
thanks adya.

look at my PL if i loosened to pl8 i would easily reach 1200, the divider im at now only allows for 1141 so I tightened the PL to increse performance. once it gets colder (once summer is over) i will be seeking higher FSB and higher ram clocks then i will loosen the pl up again

trust me this ram loves this board and vise versa, its a match made in heaven as far as 2x2gb sticks are concerned. 996619 is a great batch if you can find that but the redlines are good also. any mushkin 2x2gb kit labeled 2.0-2.1v has the powerchips so they are pretty much all good

thanks snipe, ill head over to p.g.n now see if they have them.
@zanzabar, yeh i was worried what it would do to my watercooling setup ,even though i have a triple rad .so im kind of glad there not a good choice.
thanks mate.

i looked around for 2x2gb ascent. couldnt find cheaper.
there actually $130 usd rest is postage and currency difference.
we do have gskill but ram in oz is really expensive. would of cost me $250 for 2x2gb gskill .

Got a question I know if you want to do X-fire you have to use slots 1 and 3 but if I have a single card can I use the 2nd PCI-E slot?

[zanzabar]

yah u can use the middle slot for 1 card it runs the same speed as the top slot, and u mean the 2nd 16x slot slot pci-e#3 right not the 1x thats pci-e #2

[safan80]

i ordered 2 chips from biosdepot a week after i got the board lol i dont like waitin

what do you need 2 chips for?

[zsamz_]

what do you need 2 chips for?

saved on shippin lol i'm in canada so shippin is xtra
i got 2 dfi boards so .. it ok lol

[ScottFern]

Does anyone else notice on this chipset that when you insert a CD/DVD the OS pauses for like 2-3 seconds. Anyway to stop that?

u need to have it plugged into the jmicron

[ScottFern]

Your saying using the Jmicron controller won't give those pauses like the Intel ICH9R chipset does? I am using a SATA dvd-rw drive.

[zanzabar]

yah, it wont do the pause with the dvd drive with native IDE mode, dont use the jmicron for an HDD

[ScottFern]

Yeah, but all 6 SATA ports are on the ICH9R? How can I hook up a SATA DVD-RW to the jmicron controller?

[zanzabar]

they yellow ones

I've been having problems with running just 1 4870x2. if I use AA I can only use 2x and 4x anything above 4x and games will not load. it doesn't matter what driver set I use. I installed an extra 500GB hard drive and it does the same thing with a clean install of vista. I've tried both of my 4870x2 and the result is the same. I know it's the board because if I use a friends P35 it can use all AA levels.

edit: the cpu is runing at stock 3.0 and the ram is running at 800mhz. when I run 4X I get massive video corruption.

Hey people is there any reason i should get a DFI x48 board over a P45? I was kinda going for the DFI X48 LT but people suggested me going for a P5Q Deluxe instead, which one is better?

ONLY if you want to crossfire

Quad and 4780 X2? DFI LP LT P35 sounds like a nice choice, LP x48 doesn't clock high fsb as good as P35 version.

for a quad get p5q or dfi p45
x48 only for crossfire
the dfi ut p35 is better than all of em lol
