Yet another rigg help please

On the evga site, it says that team extreme 6400 4-4-4-10 is compatible, and there are a couple of people using it in the thread who say it worked, but it's not specific about the exact model (so maybe they're all ok)

edit: forgot that this stuff is 4-4-4-12

where did you find the reference to problems with it?

 

[Babrbarossa]

Here's a compatibility list for it- and you're right-- 680i isn't on there

http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/images/stories/compatibility_test/eng_ddr800.pdf

I wouldn't go building my system around the ram though-- alot of the time, you can't cheive the speeds that reviewers do because the company hand picks the fastest samples to send to the tech sites- so always take it with a grain of salt. Not to say this isn't probably awesome ram, though- even if you get halfway to those settings-- I hear alot of good things about the corsair dominators- and they work well with the 680i-- also anything by ocz does, it seems.- you can check out evga's compatibility list.
If you're looking to get a different board the asus commando reviews have been really good, but you can't have SLi with it.

bah your prolly right :biggrin:
ill just go with evga board and platinum ocz chips like the one you mentioned in earlier post all I care is that they are compatible and that I can over clock even just a bit would be fine

700 watt psu and im off to the races

Heh.... squawk squawk.......

You're making me nervous...... Just because you're not going sli, I can't stress strongly enough that it still needs to be a recognized PSU.

Just too many problems can arise from a cheepo PSU, and worse yet, many of those are of the "random/untraceable" type that can mess up your rig for years!!!

Looking good though.

What part of the country are you writing from?

sswilson the PSU Pimp.

Yeah ss Thats one of the first thing I do when giving buddys a hand, Break out the Multimeter. If thats solid @ least I'm not going to go crazy trying to fix a sporadic/weird/unusual problem.

That Patriot is nice RAM for that price.

Damn I paid to much for my 2g kit curse you ddr
