    1600 vs. 1666 settings - which is more stable?

    Thanks again, PC_User, I asked about settings at the GSkill site and the tech guy told me to keep settings such as memory frequency and voltage as listed by the memory kit, but to use slightly looser timings. Apparently, others with the same configuration as me had success at 8-8-8-24 timings...

    1600 vs. 1666 settings - which is more stable?

    Thanks, PC_User - The CPU is an AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz. It's for a friend's computer and he has no plans to overclock (or try to unlock any additional cores on the CPU). Can I just use the default settings for the CPU and not concern myself with the bus frequency and...

    1600 vs. 1666 settings - which is more stable?

    I have a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard and 4gb of GSkill Ripjaw series memory. The motherboard specs say it takes DDR3 1666(OC)/1333/1066. The GSkill is DDR3 1600 (7-8-7-24). I'm looking for the most stable settings. I have heard that one needs to set the timings manually on AMD...

    Which Memory for a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P

    Thanks, gwarren007 I'm leaning towards your first suggestion. I've been googling everything I can find about this motherboard and memory, and some have said it's very picky. A couple of people have had difficulty using higher speed G.Skill memory. One person said they went with the third...

    Which Memory for a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P

    Thanks to all who helped me with the memory question I had for a friend's build. Now, I'm putting together a pc for his wife, and I'm deciding upon memory for it. Relevent specs are: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392 AMD...

    Gigabye GA-P55-UD3R or Asus P7P55D?

    You're right, nmezib. I must have been looking at the specs for the p55a-ud4p when I was on newegg. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going with the UD3R, though - it's more than enough for what it'll be used for. Thanks to everyone for the help.

    Gigabye GA-P55-UD3R or Asus P7P55D?

    Thanks for the reply, guys. My brand preference is Gigabyte, too, so I'll go with them. Unfortunately, my friend is getting it built by a custom builder, AVADirect, and the P55A-UD3 is not one of the boards they offer. They do offer the P55-UD4P, which also has the USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0. Are...

    Gigabye GA-P55-UD3R or Asus P7P55D?

    I'm recommending a build for a friend and have narrowed down the motherboard choices to two: the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R and the Asus P7P55D. I've not entirely ruled out the LE version of the Asus board, if there's no compelling reason to get the somewhat more expensive one. He'll be using an...

    CPU Cooler for LGA1156

    I've been doing some research in the last week looking for the same thing. You might want to consider the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus. Here's a review on FrostyTech. The chart on page 5 shows just how it stacks up against others, and the price is quite reasonable. I hope some others post their...

    Choosing between 3 ram brands

    Thanks for the help, guys. Regarding the Mushkin, I didn't list it because the retailer only offers a single 4 gb configuration with 2 gb sticks and it's at 1066 MHz, but here it is for consideration - Mushkin 4 gb (2x2gb) Performance EM3-8500 Series PC3-8500 ddr3 1066 MHz CL7 (7-7-7-21) 1.5...

    Choosing between 3 ram brands

    I'm recommending a build for a friend. Asus P7P55D EVO mobo, i5-750 chip, Sapphire 5770 card. He doesn't want me to assemble it for some reason, and is having a custom build retailer do it. The components are somewhat limited. In choosing memory, the options are Corsair, Kingston, and OCZ. He...
