Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

No no guys the system is working fine with only A2B4C6 ram configuration and i am running windows 7 ok in it (but it recognises only 2 gb ram).....its not bootable in any other configuration. I am currently typing from it.

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

Ok here is the final update on my problem.

.............My System..............................Test System
Mobo......DFI LPUTX58........................... MSI Eclipse
CPU.......i7 920..................................... i7 950
RAM.......OCZ PC314400................... Corsair TR3X3G1600C9 and G.Skill DDR3 Trident - 1600Mhz @ CAS_Latency 6-7-6-18

PSU .......Corsair tx850..........................Co0lermaster Real 850

Results.
1. Changing powersupply: No effect -- 2gb RAM

2. Changing to Corsair Ram -- 4 GB detected in any configuration at any voltage (upto DRAM of 1.7)

3. Changing to Gskill Triden -- 6 GB detected from beginning and memtest OK

4. OCZ RAM on MSI eclipse mobo -- 2gb detected in all possible configurations and volt (upto 1.7 DRAM)

5. Corsair RAM on MSI eclipse mobo -- 4gb detected in all possible configurations and volt (upto 1.7 DRAM) (WHAT THE ****)

6. Gskill RAM on MSI eclipse mobo -- 4gb detected in all possible configurations and volt (upto 1.7 DRAM) (*&%$#@#$)

What the hell is this...How do we explain...and what next

I will take his set of trident and give him a new set....it seems that the mem controller of i7 is crap. Or Mobo bioses are crap.

Posted again:

As for pictures he isnt on LN now :( .... But talked to him abt next time when he does it..... Got to see the copper cannisters for LN though.

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

I would say go for MSI x58 pro but if you can get gigabyte x58 UD5 then get that.

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

They all OC's well. But UD5 Oc's better than x58 pro. If you want the best then it's evga x58 :p

Do keep in mind that good mobo ( read better quality ) plays a big roll in OC department :p

A good shop in your locality is SMC INTERNATIONA - as I've heard so many positive feedback about it :p

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

@ mac555 : i agree totally with topgear dude.. :)

I mean if u really wanna OC ur rig, then there's nothing better than the Evga X58 board (wich amitash and I own)... :)

Infact, Evga products are themselves made with OCing in mind with customers and it will NOT at all void ur warranty too...(be it ur Evga GPU as well)
--------------

Get an Evga mobo + and Evga GPU to OC to ur heart's out.. :D
