Pre-Build Questions/Advice Help Please


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I have read these forums for the past week (stickies etc..) and I have to say the support is unbelievable. This site is why I just ordered whats in my sig. My gear will arrive tuesday and I'm crunching to get all info I can. Here is a few general questions I have and ANY advice is welcome

 

1.) The RAM I'm going to attempt to use is from a previous build (see sig). Is this RAM TCCD or BH-5 or what? I dont see any info on any site i check. Also will I need different RAM most likely?

 

2.) The clawhammer 4000+ Im getting anyone experienced any good overclocks with this core? Problems?

 

3.) Take a look at my overall order (sig) and see if there are any potential problems.

i see most over clocking the winchester or newcastle cores. i see some oc the fx55 . i cant say i see to many oc the 4000 clawhammer.i think the lower processors have a better multiplier.i would get the 4000 san diego i think its about the same price as the clawhammer that should oc better then the clawhammer if your still interested in the 4000.

Ya I have heard the San diego overclocks a little better. If i can get 200-400 OC out of it Ill be happy.

 

 

Im getting more and more concerned about my unmatched sticks of RAM though. After looking at them one is a v1.5 and the other is a v4.2 bought at different times.

 

Hmm should I go OCZ EL Plat Rev 2 ?

 

 

Im thinking that now.

i would go for the San Diego as well. better overclocker in my opinion. i would definately go with a matched pair. I would choose any from these company just because the reps make frequent stops here, so if there were any issues, you can go straight to them

 

OCZ (AndyOCZ / RyderOCZ / OCZTony)

 

Crucial/Ballistix (CrucialLabs)

 

Buffalo Tech (memoryman)
