  1. Thanks Scottike. I wasn't aware MSI's board handled faster memory. So, the processor's setting a limit. I think I'll go with MJCRO's advice, buy faster memory and tighten timings as much as possible. I'm seeing stable specs between 1700-1800 with this setup in other forums.
  2. Perhaps, but I'd like as much tweak room as possible -need the education .
  3. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep your specs in mind. Maybe you can enlighten me more. Is the processor placing a restriction on memory speed or it it the BIOS/motherboard:blink:? I don't want to shell out money too quickly for new hardware upgrades .
  4. This is my first overclock, but I'm computer literate and buying all new components to retire a K7 Thunder. I could use RAM advice. I purchased an MSI 790FX-GD70. I'm waiting for a good Phenom X4 965 price -not in a rush. I heard Crucial Ballistix overclocks well, and I have my eye on G.Skill Ripjaws. Should I go with 1600 DDR3's and lower timings or 2000 speed -I know this setup may not be stable more than 1800. What works better for speed? Thanks.
