fcguy Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I'm trying to decide on what memory to buy. I'm looking for used or new. 2x2gb. ~$100-150. My current setup is below (some parts were aquired for next to nothing... so please save the 'wtf why aren't you building an i5/i7/AMD?!??') Mobo EVGA 790i FTW edition CPU QX9650 (watercooled) Video XFX GTX260 Black Edition (watercooled) PSU Not yet purchased but I'm thinking the corsair 950 So a video review of the board says I need "EPP rated" memory if I want to run DDR3 2000. I can't even find much info on it much less any for sale that tout that spec. I'm looking to overclock to 4ghz (if not more hehe) so I'm looking for memory that will keep up. New or used. Used examples don't need to be something you find currently for sale... suggestions are nice and I can go searching myself... however current for sale examples on used items are certainly nice. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Maybe server memory would have a spec like that but most enthusiast memory doesn't. These are good. Very tight timings but not EPP. CORSAIR CMT4GX3M2A1600C6 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL6 DOMINATOR GT Nothing wrong with LGA775. Your PSU is a bit of an overkill for your suggested specs. HX650 is plenty good enough. Let us know how you go reaching 4GHz. Edited April 23, 2010 by dihartnell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcguy Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) 950 psu for future triple video cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231281 ???? Edited April 24, 2010 by fcguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah that ram will work. Why do you want triple video cards now? The performance gain is very little. Especially on some of the older lga 775 motherboards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
