It's rebranded Patriot, the new stuff is Hynix MFR like you find in... basically any 4/8GB kit rated for 2400+ and the older stuff is Micron. Both fine. Both run XMP/AMP.

Q6600 G0 help for getting past 3.0Ghz
harrynowl replied to Xristoforator's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Either more NB volts. Or bad NB wall. @bubblewhale 680i SLI is junk for quads and not much better for duals. -
Pretty sure that's 60c socket temp

well, if you buy crap you get crap in return

3770K overclock and 2400Mhz ram stability
harrynowl replied to Mini0510's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Crap board and/or crap memory controller, you'll need to run lower sadly -
More likely to hit OCP or OVP than kill it.

nope.

Motherboard for old Processor (Pentium 4)

For a true retro build you want a P5B Deluxe -
CPU Degredation Over (almost) 2 Years
harrynowl replied to KnightSirius's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Temperatures have a direct correlation with resistance in a CPU (Positive temperature co-efficient). Which mainly affects a few things to my knowledge: - Voltage requirement - Degradation (via Current Crowding) - CPU overclocking (as a result of the first one). For example at ambient room temp with water my 3570K will do 5GHz @ 1.34V, at -25c it does 5.45 at the same voltage and 5.7 at -50c. But a CPU at 4.5GHz at -80c and a CPU at 4.5GHz at 80c will perform the same (provided its the same CPU), one will just require less volts. ___________________________________________________ Anandtech did a bit on degradation a while ago, although it was applying to the 45nm Hi-K MG used at the time the principle is still the same. I know someone whos G3258 was folding for about 2 years and it went from 4.6 1.22V to like 4.4 1.27V.- 33 replies

Not sure what rumors you listen to but the RX480 does indeed come with a 4GB variant.

X58 System: P6X58D-E vs Rampage II Extreme?
harrynowl replied to Gdourado's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
correct, although I believe they re-labeled it on that series to "Digi+" with no telltale markings, but they often label these controllers as the "digi + ASP1212" on their VGAs also -
X58 System: P6X58D-E vs Rampage II Extreme?

My Rampage 3 Extreme was based on the 8318, I suspect its likely the same for the others -
2 different sets of ram dont work together
harrynowl replied to SirWiggel's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
HyperX Fury doesn't use XMP. So it might be because of that. Set timings manually 10-12-12 1866MHz tRFC of 248 and 1.65V
