Taming new beasts !

[darklord]

Hi guys,
I havent been benching much lately due to lack of time and new hardware.
Yesterday a friend came back from US and he had some packages for me,

This is what the package had in it,

As of now started benching on air to get the hang of it and then later on i will CHILL it

Initial impression that i got was that P45 is a different ball game altogether.Same is the case with DDR3. I am still getting used to both of these things.

some initial results after struggling for few hours

WoW! Nice darky.

 

[darklord]

Thanks man.I am personally happy with the RAM,its the cheapest kit i could pick up at 80 US$
and it can do 1600 7-7-7 @ 1.9V
Kits rated to do that are much more expensive.

Hint: All those with P35 boards, note that this chipset isnt exactly a succesor to the P35. It behaves very differently.

Cool! Bring us more benchies along with a review.

wow 160$ for 4 gigs of ddr3 thats about 6400 RS. ONLYYYY!!!

Nice work amey. So, P45 better than P35 or just few more enhancement. See, I am thinking of upgrade, so please put in some more info.

 

[darklord]

Its definitely better than P35.Just that when it comes to clocking, it behaves differently.

After struggling with this board for 3-4 days, finally the elusive 600 FSB is cracked !!

Very very tricky board to play with. It just hates my OCZ Platinum kits. Its a bit forgiving with my Patriot Vipers and OCZ Flex XLC.

More coming soon !
