Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Thread

Very affordable......they will do 6-6-6 also......Haven't gotten that far with them yet however, finallyzing bullet proof easy settings for those that just want a stable set of 1600 ram at low volts on the gigabyte....


Might get stuck with an extra stick but you can bin them.......maybe Tony can suggest where to get them in 2x2g variants.

Best bet is buy 2 kits, bin them for the best 4 and sell 2 on for now

I will try and get a 4GB kit for AMD boards also in the works.

What would be a popular heatspreader option or you guys not bothered?

Personally I care more whats below them

Anyway, out of the cheaper OCZ Ram I think this heatspreader look the best.
For the higher end ones, the reapers are nice, but due to potential issues with cpu coolers (Air coolers keep increasing in Size) I'd think the ones from the Blade series would be the best option.

I think for compatibility reasons you guys should stick with the low profile heatspreaders....I can fit this ram under my true 120 and xigamatek without having to remove the heatsink........

We won't talk about what I had to go through with another ( we won't say names ) manufacturers "high" performance ram.........that apparently wasn't to compatible with the outer banks......


Slappa I think I was using +.275 for that screenshot.....It realy depends on cooling capacity and the chip though. I would highly reccomend for now using the F3L bios and disabling bank interleaving.....There will be a small performance hit but alot less aggravation.....the above was done with bank interleaving on but it took me quite some time to find the sweet spot....with bank interleaving off it will be far easier....

I will put some settings up once I am happy with them and feel they are consistent/reliable.
