GIGABYTE - GA-EG31M-S2 is a good board for E7200. I ordered this board for my new E7200 and i will get it today .reviews say its a good enough overclocker for E7200 . I am getting the board for 2.9k all inclusive.

Where hav u ordered the board??
U got it?
hows it working?

Tell me which RAM is better for overclocking 667 MHz or 800 MHZ

 

[utsav]

I will get it today evening. I ordered here from a dealer who is sourcing the board frm the main distributor. Get a 800MHz stick .forget 667MHz .

Overclocking AMD CPUs is a completely different topic compared to Overclocking Intel CPUs. Firstly, they overclock less. Secondly, the procedures are different due to the intergrated memory controller within the CPU. Go to tomshardware.com or even better, *www.overclock.net to get aquinted with the skills of overclocking.

I personally recommend this thread:
*www.overclock.net/amd-general/307316-offical-overclocking-guide-amd-socket-am2.html

Anyone more replying to my post ???? please see few posts above... thanks.

one more thing is that, even if in Q4 this yr Nehalem launches, how fast it will come to india. and MAINLY at what price it will be available ? if its gonna be something more than even Q9450's price today, then there will be less takers for that initially (for 6 months I guess ).

Guys, which LCD monitor from Samsung should I buy? I am restricting myself to samsung because where I stay there in no hassle of getting service for it, but for any other brand its quite not so.

My need is a 19" one costing arund 9k...

I have seen one today which is Samsung 920NW. Should I go with it? I wouldnt have to wait for the guy to order me a monitor if I buy it as its already there in the shop. Unless the one I'm going to buy isnt worth the money, I dont see a reason not buying it.
What say you; guys?

IronMan

ADDED: Guys can you tell me wether Mosaer Baer DVD-RW is a good buy or not? Im going to buy one, so wanted an opinion from you guys.
Thanks

Buying this tommorow
will using it as Home pC, will be run typical multimedia tasks.
also, multitasking would essential. but the machine would NEVER be overclocked.

Even if you think you will NEVER overclock the machine, its always a good idea to play safe and ensure that the future you does not curse the present you. Get a Biostar mobo of the same chipset if you don't want to OC.

And yes, if you don't want to OC, there is no point in getting an awssome P35 chipset motherboard. Why not go for the Intel or Gigabyte or MSI G31 chipset based motherboard which will still support same CPU at a much lower cost, and the money saved thus can be invested on a graphics card.

Again, going by the same NO OC angle, AMD would suit you better since without overclocking, AMD gives better performance. I recommend the AMD Phenom X3 8450 since three cores make multitasking much easier for you. You also get quite a few value added features like support for 64bit virtualisation, etc. And a 780G chipset based mobo, like ones from Gigabyte or MSI for 4.4K will be awssome for multimedia use. Throw in a palit hd3450 for below 2k and in hybrid graphics mode, acording to reviews, you can get 40fps @ medium settings in 800x600 for crysis. Else get a zotac gf8200 mobo for 3.4k and 8500gt for a little over 2.3k and again use hybrid graphics.

For ram, try kingston. Its equal to transcend, though some place it higher.

thanks man ! UTsav tere ko i will dip into liquid nitro and then in helium :X

liquid helium ghar mein ? Pagal hai kya ? It costs a hell lot of power to maintain it in liquid state. You need lots of pressure and a very low temperature. Got a high power lab in your house ?

Biostart has warranty problems, and MSI does not have service center in Jaipur.
My dealer has asked me choose a INTEL or Asus board.
and i will select the same.

I am confused with so many chipsets.
whats the difference?
there is G31,G33,P35,P45.... and so on.
please explain

Will go for a Intel based Config only.
please suggest a nice card, in remaing budget

Man but those new ones are more of a show-off. Its DCR that is 8000:1 I guess.

Guys I wanna ask one thing; the samsung 920NW has a Contrast Ratio of 700:1. Is that Static or Dynamic?
