RAM Timings?

[Mazza]

Okay what is RAM timings? What do they do?
Would these be good timings for the RAM i'm getting?

lower timing = faster result

the only way you can take advantage of DDR2 1066 is if you clock or set it up manually in the BIOS

you must make sure it is running DDR2 1066 (533MHz) at 5-5-5-

The board will require a FSB clock and the CPU clocked (unless the multipler is available) on the right memory divider to run 1066

You need to learn about your BIOS from the manual and make sure your processor will run the needed speeds to meet the requirements of the memory to run at its rated speed.

It's only 2Gbs :-?

And i have some other boards i was looking at.... it's just my mate has it and he got his RAM from 667 to 800Mhz, and Oced his CPU from 2.6 to 3.4Ghz safly :-/

How about this one? http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3& ... odelmenu=1

I only willing to spend about 130 or less ATM

That board will do 1066 but only on an overclock



hmmmmmm


I really do not like suggesting budget boards because they are so hit and miss for performance and stability in a clock,.. however I do know this one will do about 408MHz max

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131295


http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3& ... odelmenu=1

and it does have a clocking BIOS

So you can max out amy CPU that has a 9 multiplier and does 3.6GHz or a 10 multiplier and does 4GHz

Looks nice... but from my local com store is 179
Might ship it in

If you are considering the P5Q, then look at the P5Q Pro, a better board IMHO, though it may cost slightly more, I believe it's worth it.

For a start, the heatsink system on the P5Q pro is much better and there are other subtle differences that make the Pro a better choice, despite it's slightly higher pricepoint.

I've been using that P5Q Pro in a few of my system builds and can recommend it as a decent board.

However, I'd like to see an E8400 cpu minimum on that board, as I've been fitting them with. In warm/hot/overclocking environments, a third party cpu cooler is also desirable. The Intel coolers are barely adequate, and certainly not good enough for high overclocks in warm rooms.

I think we have drifted away from my Q. I just want a board that will run that RAM and do a little bit of overclocking. E7200 2.53 to 2.80Ghz

We don't know how well that board will run that RAM; we don't know all the FSB : DRAM ratios available from it, or what it's capable of. It says 1066 by overclock, so I assume you're going to need to increase the FSB to get your moneys worth out of that memory, as the motherboard may not allow full DDR2-1066 unless you do so. I'd look at overclocking reviews from people with similar memory, BIOS options, and a read of the BIOS manual.

I don't think all that hassle is worth it, and to expand overclocking options, just buy a better board. I don't like that mobo because it's el-cheapo and 1066 by OC. The cheapest overclocking board I know is the Gigabyte P35C-DS3R which should be about $110 AUD. It should do 1600 rated FSB and DDR2-1200; which should be advertised on the front box.

E7200 should do 3.2ghz on stock cooling, easily.

It says only DDR2 1066 and DDR3 1333

How would this one fare? http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?model ... 3=710&l4=0

$130

It will do 1066 stock, 1200+ overclocking; I have a slightly different version of that board; a less capable one, which is indeed has DDR2-1200 and FSB 1600 advertised on the front box.

That P5QL Pro looks good.

Hooray I have found my mother board  :)

Thanks to all

Sorry i put it back to the first page... Just got back from holidays  :P
