    Vista & Asus P5B Deluxe/Wifi - Install Fails

The cd is accessed repeatedly and a mouse pointer is present, but no install options. I have tried...

    Is higher memory speed always better than lower timing?

    It's crucial ballistix. Seems pretty good so far, doesn't get warm with a zalman 7700 above at mid speed at 2.2v. update - i had some problems at 4,4,4,15 at anything over 1000, had to drop it to 5,5,5,18 for stability after further testing. still great for pc5300 ram I think.

    Pairing Micron D9 with DS3?

    I have crucial ballistix 2x1gb, DDR2-667. I'm pretty sure they are D9s. The board is a GB-P965-DS3. I've got them to work at ddr2-1000 at 4,4,4,15 at 2.2v memtest+ stable. Also, 3,3,3,12 at ddr2-900, again 2.2v memtest+ stable. Haven't tried any higher (yet).

    Is higher memory speed always better than lower timing?

    I've got an e4300 clocked at 3ghz at the moment, the memory, ddr2-667 is running at 3,3,3,12 at 880mhz. I've had the ram at over 1000mhz with relaxed 4,4,4,15 timings Do I want to always aim for the highest speed I can get? Or is it better to have tighter timings sometimes? Should I relax...

    Liquid Nitrogen

    you could use a mixture of dry ice (solid CO2) and acetone to reach -78oC easily, and it won't evaporate nearly as quickly as liquid nitrogen. just don't spill it :) ps - the comments about liq n2 it freezing anything in the room are wrong, you can dip the tips of your fingers in liq N2 as...

    Best Air Cooler for E4300?

    Please recommend a good cooler for overclocking the e4300 on air. Something quiet too, with a 120mm fan preferably. Space isn't really an issue, it's an Antec P180 case with a Gigabyte DS3. There are two 120mm exhaust fans very close to the cpu, and 1 120mm intake fan. Thanks!
