Okay well thanks again for the advice, time to get back to trying to overclock this poor CPU but just with 2GB of ram in the mean time ^^ It's crazy but even with just one stick of ram I'm still having a hell of a hard time getting this thin stable, did a quick jump to 1600MHz linked CPU/Mem...

Hehe well thank you very much for your time and consideration, the e-tailer hasn't gotten back to me yet so I'll probably have to give them a call to get this sorted a bit faster but all should be well soon enough :). On a side note, any objections to running the ram in two dual-channel slots...

What I was trying to say is that both chips were testing with the mild overclock, one chip passed and one failed, both have since been retested on stock cpu speeds with legacy USB disabled, the same chip passed and the same chip failed. Each time the test is left to run for approx ~10h by...

Okay ran the latest test with all settings on auto except ram set to 1600MHz, 7-7-7-20 timings and 1.9V, still errored on me. This is with an up to date BIOS and the single bad ram chip in the first slot. I've attempted 1500 - 1600 in 20MHz increments as well as a couple higher that fit...

I'll re-run the test now, all the bios settings were set to Auto except the ram setting which were manually set to 1600Mhz, 7-7-7-20 timings and the voltage to 1.90 once and 1.86 the other time (Everest records 1.86 bios setting as delivering 1.9V to the ram). One of the runs also had the CPU...

Damn >.< Looks like I'm going to be computerless for a couple of days again :/ It's an Asus Striker 2 Extreme with a Q9550.

Part number? Main numbers on the side of the chip are: CM3X2048-1600C7DHX XMS3-1600 2048MB 1600MHz 7-7-7-20 1.90V ver3.1 08340050 Other chip passed 10 full passes (9-10h) of memtest twice, this one failed after a couple of hours:

Well yeah but right now I'm running with only one stick while I RMA it, when it comes back I'm going to go with dual channel mode but I was wondering if it's just as good to use the following slots: Assuming slots numbered 0-1-2-3 Using 1 and 3 rather than 0 and 2, it gives the NB/SB/mosfet...

Does it matter if I put a single ram chip in the last slot? [Solved] Okay well I was having a hell of a hard time overclocking and eventually did a memtest just to find an error. Did another test overnight on a single chip and one during the day on the other, first passed 10 tests fine, the...

Nice! Personally I've been having a hell of a hard time getting my 790i stable, I just can't seem to push the FSB to anything above Q9550! >.<

Well I currently have 2x2GB of Corsair TWIN3X4096-1600C7DHX (1600Mhz, 7-7-7-20) with my striker. I can run it at it's specified speeds fine without a CPU overclock but I've yet to manage get a stable overclock (though admittedly this is probably due to the fact this is my first attempt at...

Hehe thanks for the reply, I did have a similar thread on XS which I'm trying to go and edit before someone reads it and notices what an absolute retard I've been but yeah if you read the edit, I'd actually set the Vcore to 1. 1 5 !!! One point fifteen, not 1.5 as I thought I had XD

Q9550 + S2E - Silly but important question about Vcore [Fixed] This hardly requires a new thread but I'm desperately trying to get stable on my Q9550 (C1) but I just can't seem to find the right settings (albeit I know perfectly well why, this is my first attempt and I have one of the biggest...

I'm not going to start a new thread as my question is practically the same so this shouldn't be a thread jack but more of a consolidating question :) My house mate needs a new graphics card to run Call of Duty 5 (his X800 isn't gonna cut it :P) so he's come to me but I have to admit I'm...

Regarding water, you won't necessarily be able to clock it further, however you will be able to lower your temps (which will give you more head room to go further) as well as overall fan noise, it depends whether you see this as worth the investment :)

Personally I had a LapCool Vantec LapcCool 4 and I found it to work quite nicely. It's an active cooler meaning it has 2 fans and doesn't just lift it off the ground which ran dead silent on low and offered airflow which ultimately is all that's needed or the fans can be pushed a bit faster at...

Regarding the fusion block, general consensus is that it's copper-plated Aluminium which is why many people are hesitant to use it. If the copper is slightly scratched or badly applied it will lead to galvanic corrosion is someone isn't expecting it. But no official word from Asus, it's just...

Depending on how many fans you're controlling: Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme (extreme = 30W/channel vs 20W and better all around imo) Scythe Kaze Master (12W/channel)

I have a Vantec Nexstar HDD enclosure and found it to keep a 500GB 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda at a reasonable temperature fine however when I got a second TB drive and put the two next to each other it would get quite warm between the two. Sure I could just keep them apart but I chose to go...

I forgot to mention the alternative is to fill a bit, close loop, tilt case so that water flows through case, and repeat, but it can take quite a while :) Regarding whether you are ready or not, go for it, just make sure you read up about it first :) You might as well do it right and avoid any...
