CPU temp with Zalman9700 and MSI P965 Platinum ?
Hi.
its funny. My old Asrock DUAL-VSTA showed CPU temp and other temps in programs like HMonitor and Speedfan but this
MSI dosent show anything about CPU in any programs ?
I must say, i was a little confused when i installed the board because there was 2 CPU fan slots, one with 4 pins and one with
3. I have a Zalman CNPS 9700 LED, very nice fan btw. Shoulden this fan be controled by the CPU automaticly ? i do have a
fan regulator in the end of the wire outside the cabinet. I have it on the bag side of the computer case so i can turn it op and
down. But i think i read someware that it could be controled automaticly. Is that right ?
And what about the 3 and 4 pins CPU fan slots on the board. Right now i cant remember in witch of the 3 or 4 slot i installed
the fan in to. But anybody know witch slot is the right one for my CPU fan ?

Listen. Forgot to say.
I'm still a little little bit concerned about 40c-41c idle. but but.
Relax, it's quite alright...
Quote
But what i was trying to say is. I have 3 running SATA drives also and only the stock (Normal) 120 fan that came with the Antec case.
1 fan, the Zalman 9700LED and the PSU fan ofcause. and then OC at 300FSB. Could that be why i'm at 40c idle ?
All the drives + only 1 fan in the case ? i mean. I'm not shure the standard 120 fan that came with the Antec case is good enough.
Any sugestions ?
My case has three 120mm case fan in addition to the 120mm power supply and the Zalman fan, five of them altogether. The Antec P180 case has separate compartment for the hard drives and the power supply, which made a big difference from the temperature's perspective. The box also has four hard drives and I do not OC; I did try, but I didn't see much of a difference and shut it off.

btw. what is a good stress test apps to test my cpu temp with on max load ?
The Orthos Stress Prime is pretty good and so is Intel's TAT; the link I've posted earlier has more information.

I have purchased the E8400 cpu to use with my p965 platinum mobo. I have upgraded the bios to the latest one. I have checked that all other equipment are working properly. My problem is that when i start the computer, it shows the boot up screen but freezes there. On the bracket it shows 2 red and 2 green lights. On manual it refers to reading primary and extended memory or something similar (i am at work now so i dont have themanual with me). I have tried changing the memory turning to my old 2x1gb 667mhz corsair ram ( my new are 2x2gb ocz 800mhz ) but no luck.
When i put back my old cpu everything works fine. I have checked everything but no solution. the complete specs are shown below.
MSI P965 Platinum mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2x2gb OCZ 800mhz
Thermaltake toughpower 750w sli certified
MSI radeon 4850
HDDS, case and dvdrw are irrevelant.....
At MSI website it says that the E8400 is supported and thats one of the reasons i havent change my mobo. Can you please tell me if it actually works or do i have to change my mobo also.
BTW i have tried to reset the bios but no luck again.Quote

The CPU Support List mentiones the E8400/C0 Stepping as supported [sSpec# is SLAPL]. However, the E0-Stepping/Revision of the E8400 does not appear and will not work on this mainboard. From the symptoms you describe...

Memoy bug with MSI P965 Platinum?
Hi, im gonna take this step by step to make it easier to read
First, the specs:
Chieftec CTF-620-A12s (620W)
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
MSI NX8800GTS
Geil Ultra 2GB PC2-6400 (4-4-4-12)
Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic
Samsung DVD-burner
I have updated to the newest drivers, and BIOS was 1.2 when I recieved the board.
The problem:
MemTest gives me errors as early as 331MHz FSB, while running 1:1 divider. Which makes the RAM run at 662MHz. Since the RAM is sertified to run at 800MHz 4-4-4-12, im pretty sure that the motherboard is the problem.
I have been able to run MemTest without errors for 1/2 hour with these settings: FSB 334, Divider 1:1, DRAM Volt. 2,2 and NB Volt 1,38.
I think the volt is very high when you compare it to the FSB. I Have been able to run the system at 389MH FSB (3,5GHz) and max volts, but I recieved multiple errors in MemTest imediately. SuperPi runned without errors though, managed to do it in 14 secs :D
The system rarely starts when I use dividers other than 1:1 and 2:3. At low FSB, I can run with 2:5, but the other dividers are impossible to boot with.
The problem is obviousl related to the memory, and i don't think the RAM modules are the problem...
BIOS settings:
Turned of "SpeedStep"
Turned of "On Board Audio"
Turned of "Floppy Disk Controller"
Currently running at:
FSB = 334
RAM = 667MHz (1:1)
DRAM volt = 2,2V
NB Volt = 1,38V
Does anybody have a similar problem they got past or do anyone have some help to give to me?
It would be nice to run stable at 3,2GHz or something like that. I invested in a Zalman CNPS9500AT CPU-cooler, and it keeps the CPU below 50 degrees celcius at all times; idle is about 30 degrees at 3GHz.
The temperatures is gennerally not a problem.
ANY help would be nice, thank you.Quote from: Bluum on 24-January-07, 20:17:40
It is right that my _Quad-Pumped FSB_ is 1334MHz, but my DDR2 RAM is running at a 1:1 Ratio with FSB, NOT Quad-Pumped FSB. When the RAM runs at 350MHz, the DDR2 speed is 700MHz.
Why du you think PC2-4200 RAM run at 1:1? Because 266x2 = 533MHz, which is the speed PC2-4200 RAM runs at.
The highest stable RAM speed I have runned on is 993MHz DDR2 speed. That was with FSB @ 331MHz and divider 2:3.
I think the RAM is capable of 1GHz, and that it is the motherboard holding me back.
PC2-6400 RAM run at 2:3, which results in this: 800MHz/2*2/3=266MHz.
Using the divider right in the calculation is important: DDR2 speed/2= DDR speed, DDR speed*2/3(divider)=FSB
i beg to differ. the difference between DDR and DDR2 is that the bus clock on ddr2 is double than the one on ddr. so when you have ddr2-800, the memory clock is 200 MHz, but the bus clock is 400MHz. for a ddr-400 the memory clock is 200MHz and the bus clock is 200 MHz. and since it is DDR, this gets doubled. this means that with 200 MHz mem clock on DDR2, the effective speed of the memory is 800MHz, when run at 1:1. you're trying to run the memory at 1:1 with a memory clock of 300+MHz, that means that you're forcing the memory to run in excess of 1.2GHz effective speed.

Msi P965 Platinum with Vista Premium 64bit big problem
hi i cant run vista properly, i get blue screen dumps that dumps memory.
Some time it can run 5min sometimes 2hours
Vista says that there is a hardware incompatiblity something with memory.
I have run memtest x86 it passed, and Vistas memtest fail.
tryed to run with only one memory and changed place to them
core duo center doesent work either.
now i run windows Xp with latest drivers and everything works just fine.
I want to run my computer on windows vista 64bit, whats my problemSad to hear about those problems, especially since I am going to upgrade to Vista myself in the nearest future.
I have no guarantee that this will work, but try using manual settings for RAM. And set RAM to 5-5-5-15, not 4-4-4-12. And run RAM at stock speed, and the same goes for FSB etc.
And try using 2,1V for the RAM.
If you have runned on manual settings, set the to "Auto" if you haven't tried that.
I have read abuot one guy that got bluescreens all the time when he overclocked in Vista. You haven't overclocked, have you? :P
EDIT: I see you use BIOS v1.3. Try flashing to v1.2.
I flashed from a bluescreenfree system at high overclocks (v1.2), to a instable system vith plenty of bluescreens when exeding 340-350FSB.
With BIOS 1.2, I have booted with FSB 389, and been able to run SuperPI, CPU-Z and some other small programs. Now, with BIOS 1.3, I can't get into windows, get bluescreen before logon is complete.
I think there is something "wrong" with the northbrigde in P965 Platinum, because the errors are allways memory related. -

Hi all,
I have run with the above hardware specification since Jan 2007 without experiencing any hardware problems at all. Two weeks ago I upgraded the CPU from an E6700 dual-core to a Q9550 quad. I was a little concerned about doing this, because the P965 supports a max FSB of 1066 and the Q9550 is rated at 1333. In any case, I Googled around and found that some flavours of the Q9550 had been tested on my mobo (http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/P965_Platinum_(MS-238).html) and also MSI list the Q9550 stepping C1 as being compatible so I took the leap.
Early indications were good - Vista detected the new chip and I rebooted when prompted. However, in the space of two weeks I have experienced around one or two BSODs per day STOP 101 or 124 codes. Hmm!
I have switched back to my trusty E6700 chip and the system is then as solid as a rock. I see 3 possibilities here:
1.The Mobo website (MSI P965) lists the Q9550 stepping type C1 as being compatible. There is no mention of E0 or C0 which seem to be the other two variants. I have no idea which stepping type mine is as the product numbers for the Q9550 chips are all the same (EU80569PJ073N or BX80569Q9550) regardless of whether it is a C0, C1 or E0 stepping. Is there any way to tell which on I have - I tried with CPU-Z but didn't spot the stepping type? In any case, could this be the problem or am I off-base?
2. It's possible I have a faulty chip. How likely is this do you think? I could ask for a swap with Novatech but could be back in the same boat, and they will reject the return unless it is 'proven faulty'.
3. I need to mod the clocking on my rig to support the Q9550. If so, can anyone advise on what I should do?
I doubt the problem is caused by an OS factor as I ran some tested in an XP pre-boot environmet and still got the lock-ups.
What should I do? i don't really want to ebay the chip at say a £50 loss if i can help it.
Many thanks in advance.Quote

No, the OEM Order Code is different, and the sSpec Number also.

MSI P965 Platinum, system won't boot only when ICH8R is in RAID
So I couldn't get my system to boot properly when I have the ICH8R in RAID 1 mode.
I have the boot drive on a single, non-raid Wester Digital 250gb Cavair HD on the ICH8R.
Installed XP Pro SP2 with the ICH8R in IDE mode. I installed in IDE mode beceause I was unable to install XP on my single drive when ICH8R was in RAID mode. I installed XP in IDE mode, did all driver updates, then put the ICH8R into RAID 1 mode for my other data drives and the system will post, start to boot and get to the Windows XP boot screen then the system just restarts before the boot completes. It does it in normal boot mode and safe mode as well.
With the ICH8R in IDE mode everything boots/runs fine.
The problem is, I need the 6 SATA RAID controllers on the ICH8R as I have 3 RAID1 arrays.
I've done all the updates to windows, motherboard bios, Highpoint RocketRaid bios update, tried every mode on the ICH8R, unplugged the Highpoint Rocket Raid, left it plugged in with no drives plugged in, disabled the Jmicron controller, everything I can think of.
Any help would be appreciated.
I did not do the windows floppy driver install for the ICH8R when I installed XP, but I have not had to do that in the past with the ICH7 on my old motherboard so I assumed I wouldn't here as I've been told it's just if you are installing windows on a RAID.
System:
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 CPU
(4) 1gb OCZ Gamer Extreme DDR2 PC6400 RAM
Windows XP SP2
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 PCI Express x1 RAID card
Asus nVIDIA GS7300 PCI Express Video card
Drives on ICH8R Controller:
Boot Drive: WD Cavair 250gb SATA2
DVD: Some sony 16x DVD - SATA
RAID1: (2) Seagate Barracuda 320gb SATA2 HD's (setup on previous motherboard on Intel ICH7 Controller)
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 Controller:
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's
The problem that you are having has nothing to do with your mainboard.
Once you decide to install Windows XP SP2 when the ICH8R controller is in IDE mode, Windows will give you a bluescreen once you switch to RAID mode after the installation is done because it is to stupid to change to the proper driver. Consider this as normal behaviour.
You have basically three possibilities:
1. Reinstall XP with integrated SP2 and integrate the Intel ICH8R RAID drivers using a floppy disk
The latest drivers can be found here.
As I understand, you have already tried that. I if you don't feel like trying this again, have a look at this:
2. Slipstream Intel ICH8R SATA RAID drivers using NLITE or XP ISO BUILDER and try to install again with a self-made install CD that already includes the proper drivers (no floppy needed)
Use google to find one of the tools I mentioned. The procedure is free, perfectly legal and easy to do. Guides for this can be found all over the internet
3. Switching to RAID mode without having to re-install Windows XP
If you are still using your existing installation, that was done when the controller was in IDE mode, the follwing trick may work for you.
I posted a little guide on how to switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to re-install XP. Have a look at the guide. The procedure is essentially the same for RAID. The only difference is the content of the REG-File that you have to make.
Guide: HOW TO switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to reinstall Win XP (GUIDE)
Use the following content for the REG file instead of the one I put up in the above thread:

MSI P965 Platinum - power loss
1. Product Type: MSI P965 Platinum Series
2. BIOS version: AMIBIOS(C) 2006 American Megatrends, Inc. A7238IMS V1.2 110806
3. External VGA Type: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS 256MB
4. CPU Type: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 1.86GHz
5. Memory Type: Kingston 1024MB
6. Power Supply Type: Chieftec 550W
7. Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, Ver. 2002
My main problem is permanent losing of power from mainboard when I shutdown my PC.
I noticed that devices such as Scanner and CardReader turn off, everytime when I shutdown PC, instead of staying in Stand By.
I think that it is not OK and that MSI P965 Platinum mainboard doesn’t work properly?! Also, I can't power on the system with keyboard or mouse,
even these options exist.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!elgasoni,
please allow me to tell you what I know about PC and this power management thingy
1. no WOL (wake on LAN), no Wake on USB, no Wake on PS2
--> there should be no LED blink on your system while it is OFF, but your power supply still supplying 5V_stby to your board.
2. with WOL, no Wake on USB/PS2
--> no LED blink on your keyboard/mouse too, but your LAN port may still blink if you hooked your LAN cable up to a powered router. Again, your PSU is only supplying 5V_stby to your board and the LAN is consuming it.
3. with WOL, with Wake on USB/PS2
--> there may be LED on your keyboard/mouse, depending on your keyboard/mouse design. Your LAN port surely blink as condition stated in (2). Same thing, PSU only supplying 5V_stby.
4. The "S3" suspend mode.
--> This mode has to be exit from Windows by selecting "standby" and your BIOS must enable it to suspend to S3. The LED will behave the same as in (3), in addition that your RAM is still powered, refreshed to keep its content. If you remove your RAM stick, your system will not be wake up anymore.
--> If you wake up the system, your system will take you directly less than a second to the Windows to the logon screen with your previous sessionis still active in the background.
5. "S4" hibernate mode.
---> the LED behavior will be like (1), (2) or (3), depending on where you set your system to be.
---> When you wake up the system, it takes a few seconds (could be 10 seconds or more, depending on your RAM size) for your HDD to fetch in the previous RAM image back to your RAM.
So, which behavior you are having right now?
And now, the potential problem --. LED blink, but no wake up event support, LAN, mouse, keyboard all can't wake up the system, but they are still consuming power. Yup, this could be a HARDWARE problem, or could be solved by BIOS.
Are you having this problem? -

Please help me Im lost.
Kind regards
Erik ClaesonSome more questions in addition to that:
1. Did you plug in all power connectors properly?
----> 24 pin (board)
----> 8 pin (2x (2x2) pin) +12V CPU (board)
----> 4 pin (molex) PCIe (board)
----> 6 pin +12V PCIe (video card)
2. Can you give a little more information about your power supply, I found two different power supplies on the NorthQ Web Site that have similar modell names.
---> How many +12V rails does it have and what is amperage limit on each rail?
- The NorthQ site lists a power supply called 4775-500S Giant Thunder and in a note it says: 2 * 75Watt PCI-Express line. That means only about 6A for the video card only on the 6 pin PCIe connector. This may be too weak. Make sure you are using the board's PCIe connector as well.
3. If you can't boot your system it is of course impossible to have a look at the BIOS Version. If you are unlucky, the board came with a BIOS Version prior to v1.4, which means that your CPU may not be supported with the current BIOS. -
MSI P965 Platinum ATX2 query?
Hi I have recently purchased the MSI MSI P965 Platinum and have a 600W Zalman atx2 PSU (zm600hp) the PSU as a 20+4 pin connecter to be compatible with the 20pin and the 24pin slots and has a warning on the +4 pin part of it not to connect with atx12V connector? or will damage my cpu/motherboard, now I am not game to turn it on until I can confirm what should be plugged in here? (Could be just the bad translation on the cable that is confusing me with the wording of the warning)
According to MB manual it pretty much says make sure everything is connected? So is it best to have the 24pin atx2 connector, the eps12v 8pin (2x4pins supplied for this by zalman) connected for power to psu, and the pci express 4pin power connected all at same time?
Also I am getting soon a Geforce 8800GTS 320MB soon, Am I supposed to have the 4pin power connected to the pci express connector on the Mboard and another pcie power connector hooked up to the video card at the same time? or is it only one or the other?OCTO, kindly list out your full system specs, so we can provide you better advice. (read the moan guide).
For the 2x10 vs 2x12 pin ATX cable, you can safely plug in 2x10 cable to the 2x12 ATX connector on the board. Your board will function normally. The reason of having 2x12 connector (increasing 4 pins from 2x10) is to provide a feedback path of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V (and GND) from the board back to the PSU. Of course the PSU should design the PSU to take these extra 4 pins (4th pin is ground) as feedback. If not, then it's also no harm as it also increases the copper of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V rail from the PSU to the board, providing more current flow.
No harm it is.
For the eps12v 8pin, check the wires, they are all yellow (+12V) and black (GND). This is specifically for the CPU. If your board only has 4-pin CPU ATX12 connector, this 8-pin should also fit in (there is only 1 way to plug the cable in).
For the 4-pin connector near the PCI express, this is optional. You may not need it. but if you have problems with USB devices drop off, your PCIe display card keep hanging or it doesn't have its own addtional power connector, then you need to plug this 1x4-pin connector in for better power. -
MSI P965 PLATINUM CAN'T WORK ALL MEMORY CHANNELS
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM
• Supports up to 8GB memory size (DDR2 533/667).
• Supports up to 4GB memory size (DDR2 800).
• Supports dual channel DDR2 memory architecture.
• Supports DDR2 533/667/800 memory interface.
That's what MSI says in manual.
I recently upgraded my computer to core 2 technology, and because
i used programs that consume a lot of memory i bought
4 ddr2 667 memory modules of 1024GB each Kingston Lifetime....e.t.c
when i installed the 4 dims i sawthat windows and bios was able to see only
the 3 modules. The 4th was on vacation... After changing at least ten times the memory modules.. ( same date, time, brand, production date, stickers, and all that)
i still have the same problem... Anyone can help please?sorryguys...
but having a PC of latest technology and buing a motherboard which can not
fullfill what is suposed to do, really gets me mad.
The amperage is
+3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 -12V +5Vsb +3.3 +5V Combined Power

Before i continue, i'd like to thank you all for your support. I'm from ATHENS Greece,
and i paid 2500 US Dollars to get this Pc the way i wanted to. The answer i got up to know from
all the companies i cooperate is. NO MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTS 4 DIMMS ANYMORE
kEEP THE 4TH DIMM, JUST IN CASE OR BRING IT BACK TO US AND WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK
Now a stupid question of mine WITH 3 DIMMS memory cant work dual channel? Correct?
So what is the meaning of keeping the THIRD dimm ... It will work single chanel? Right?
Now i come to the most important thing.. MSI's Manual...
Main Memory

Who will support me when i get a serious brain damage???
Anyway thanks a lot guys for your help. I really appreciate it..

MSI P965 Platinum networking issues
Hi there. I'm having a really annoying issue with my dsl connection. It started 2 months ago and I didn't find a solution yet. 4 months ago I've built a new pc with vista ultimate 64bit. 2-3 weeks later on, this strange problem with my internet connection came up. Even thought I was currently connected, I couldn't access the internet at all. In the 'network & sharing centre there were 2 networks: Local Area Connection & Unidentified Network. At the begining, by disabling my connection and enabling it again the problem was resolved. But later on, having this problem again and again, disabling and enabling the connection didn't work. I also switched off the dsl modem but it didn't work either. I even unistalled/reinstalled & updated my ethernet card drivers but with no luck. So the only way to get my connection working was to format and do a fresh installation of vista. I'm suspecting the realtek ethernet. I'm still having this issue and I really can't affort of doing another format. A friend of mine has the same mobo and vista ultimate 64bit but he never had such a problem. Any suggestions?
My computer specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit
MSI P965 Platinum (ethernet card: realtek)
Intel Core 2 duo E6700
MSI 8800GTX OC Edition
2gb DDR2-800mhz Super Talent
Corsair 620W SLI Ready
adsl modem b-focusI think this is due to configurations of your modem and your network card.
You can give your friend a trial with your DSL modem and see if the problem exist. -
MSI P965 Platinum (MS-7238) E7400 support
Hello,
I have question about compatibility MSI P965 Platinum with new Core 2 Duo E7400 (SLB9Y (R0)). On MSI page is that motherboard supports Yorkfield & Wolfdale processors but E7400 is not in CPU support list. If it is not supported, is there any chance that new bios will be released?
ThanksBest thing is to ask MSI about that as we are just users ourselves. You can contact MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/ (Global technical support)

[MSI P965 Platinum] troubles booting
HI,
My config:
MSI P965 platinum
C2D E6400
WD800jb pata
Maxtor sata
GF7900GS
I am having difficulties booting properly from my sata drive. At the moment two drives are connected to my mainboard: sata & pata (and dvdrw by the way)
When i turn on my pc it says: "reboot and select proper boot device". When I press enter the system directly boots normally.
My boot sequence is: dvdrw, sata.
When I change the sequence to boot only from sata, the problem isnt solved.
The only way to solve the problem is to disconnect the pata drive. Then the mainboard wil boot without having to press a key...
Does anybody have a solution?! I want to connect both drives to my mainboard but i dont want to press enter during startup!When you say you have to press a key during start-up, is that when it lists your P-ata devices??? It has to do that, just press the button...
I'm currently on a S-ATA drive, and I had no trouble at all... The only problems I had, was making it recognize my DVD-drive, as I have it as master, with an P-ATA drive as slave (on the cable)... To make it see both I had to use the jumpers on the back of the drives, and set the HDD to master manually (no cable-select)...
Have you installed Windows on that S-ATA disk?? If not, it might be saying that, because it wants a drive with Windows on it
Oh, and congratulations with the board

Hi, iv just built my gaming PC and wanted to run some monitoring software to check temps, however this is my first time using an msi bored and trying to understand what temps are what in HWiNFO is driving me mad, im looking at that 51c wondering what the f**k is that? im stuck between socket and NB any help would be great and i can actual enjoy gaming if its nothing to worry about. all temps are idle after being on for 6hrs.

I've been comparing different software against the BIOS and MSI Command center i think it goes like this
TMPIN0 = CPU
TMPIN1 = NB
TMPIN2= SYSTEM/MOBO
After gaming for a few hours last night i decided to do the good old fashion touch test and found the back of the mobo behind the CPU was warm but nothing major, same with the actual CPU, the NB heat sink however was hot to touch and the TMPIN1 was at 68c, so i am thinking that this has to be the higher reading right? as it was the only thing on the bored that felt anywhere near 68c.
That could very well be correct. The problem is that they tend to change between various motherboards. I took the most common patterns I was seeing in posts relating to it.
Personally, if the CPU isn't getting incredibly hot, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The northbridge is always under stress due to the architecture, and it's not surprising that it would be running quite a bit warmer than the CPU.
They were made to handle heat that high, and since even under a heavy CPU load, the northbridge won't change that much, I wouldn't worry about that too much. If you are worried, you can always look into trying to provide more cooling to that area of the board via a directed fan right at that heatsink (if there isn't one already). -
MSI P965 Platinum with E6700 - what ram (Mem) ?
Hi.
I have a P965 Platinum board with a Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU on and 2x 512MB Kingston PC2-5300 Dual channel 667 mem.
But i can see the board support PC2-6400 Dual channel 800Mhz mem also. That would be better than the 667Mhz PC2-5300 mem, right ? maybe a stupid question, but i'm preatty new to PC.
And if yes. witch 1GB Dual channel PC2-6400 would be good for this board together with the DC2 cpu.
i was thinking of these : OCZ Gold GX XTC Series Kit - 2x1024 MB, PC2-6400 DDR2-800, CAS 5-5-5-12 - or OCZ Platinum XTC Series Kit - 2x1024 MB, PC2-6400 DDR2-800, CAS 4-5-4-15 - or OCZ Special Ops Edition Series Kit - 2x1024 MB, PC2-6400 DDR2-800, CAS 5-5-5-12 -
Tell me witch of these best suit my system..
Thx again..Quote from: MuggeGHQ
Now i found these. Would these ram be good with my system ?
