I just got word on the cooling system that its gonna have(i cannot tell you though)...and you had better make sure there is ALOT like ALOT of room in your case, also might wanna rethink liquid cooling...

Razer 4000dpi mouse

amazing mouse but at 4000dpi, it tends to twitch on the screen. But its not the mouse, if i concentrate on holding it still, it stays still. Just warning you that it takes a smooth hand to use it.

What are you going to have your cpu's fsb? It should match your ram.

 

[Wing-01]

what is FSB?
you mean 4GB i am buying two of them

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

...you do know how to overclock your cpu right...?

 

[Wing-01]

Well not me i am been helped by a friend who builds computers
why u ask

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

ah well...the Front Side Bus should commonly have the same value as your RAM speed. Your ram speed is 1600 and so is you procesors speed. However, to overclock intel core 2's you use this formula:

Speed(mhz) = FSB / 4 * Multiplier
The QX9770 has a mult of 8, and fsb of 1600 and has 3.2 ghz (3200mhz). That comes from

1600(FSB) / 4 = 400 * 8(multiplier) = 3200mhz or 3.2 ghz

so to increase your speed, you can increase your multiplier (which you can only do on a core 2 extream), or increase your FSB. If you increase your FSB, you should pick ram that will match your new FSB.

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

The RAM:FSB ratio is no biggie, since most RAM access operations are done via the cache, so it's not necessary to buy RAM the same frequency as your FSB. But if you have the budget, I recommend going for it.

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

Its not exactly hard to do it, plus it wont hurt. He did mention his budget was like $10,000 USD or something. anyway do you ahve a link to the ram you selected?

 

[Wing-01]

Right I am a bit lost with this one.
so how do I go about getting the RAM?

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

First, i will assume you will OC to 4000mhz right? well, 4000mhz could be 500 * 8. and so the fsb COULD be 2000, and such, you would go buy DDR3 2000.

What you have to do is figure out your Overclock, or just ask your friend what his multiplier and and FSB will be at, then match that number with your ram.

 

[Wing-01]

Right yeah ill go and speak to him
ty again
be back here soon
