riotsquad Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I just got my system built and without this forum it would have been a nightmare. So thanks to all those who take the time to answer questions. I have a couple of questions though. I have my memory installed in the orange slots. They will not run in the yellow, I have read that a bios flash will fix that but is there really any difference performance wise running them in the orange or yellow? My other question is about overclocking. Currently I have my fsb htt speed at 270 with my memory at 2-3-3-6, it's running at 202 with I think a 3/4 reduction. With my memory at 1-1 the highest I could take it was 210 and still boot into windows. I have read a countless posts on overclocking but I still have trouble understanding the best way to do it. Should I be trying to raise my memory mhz(using a 5-6 divider say) while lowering my memory timings? Does that increase performance? Can anyone reccommend a cpu cooler in the 20-30$ range. This forum has helped me- get my sata II drive fully functional get my usb 2.0 and ipod mini going get my memory in the right slots helped me slipstream sp2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
