I love my DFI Infinity!

7th October 2004, 22:09

Got my DFI Inifinity Ultra yesterday, and wow. Can't believe this is my third socket A mobo, and it took me a year to get the right one. with my previous Gigabyte and Abit boards I could barely get the fsb up to 202. I had the DFI board up to 215 within 30 minutes of having the system up and running. Unfortuantely by removing the last weak link, I have come to another, my RAM. The Corsair CMX512-3200C2 won't take me up past 430mhz so I'll need to get some 3500 or 3700 speed. Quite fancy 2x512 3500 dual channel as my one stick of corsair often gets lonely

There's a big hype about the Gskill memory atm, I thought I read that jmke already has some and will do some testing this weekend so expect a review here very soon

Or you could order some Crucial ballistix, I know overclockers has them on the webshop: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...Ballistix.html
Or you can try to get some BH-5 sticks from e-bay or (local) fora. Seeing how BH-5 is selling rather cheaply (in my humble opinion) on telenet and every few days there's someone offering BH-5 ram's, I feel like I overpayed mine (got them from e-bay).

you probably already know this but 2*256 tend to overclock better but if you use your pc for other things like gaming I'd go for 2*512

the GSkill memory will allow you to scale from 200Mhz to 275Mhz!!

yeah the gskill memory looks great but the whole deal with sending someone my credit card details over email to someone called Joany puts me off. I'm looking at OCZ Performance Dual Channel Kit 2x512MB DDR433 PC3500 CL 2.5-3-3-7 at Ebuyer (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=66681). Theres no way I'm buying from Overclockers UK again they are unbelievably overpriced. I may need Father Christmas to buy me new RAM

Edit: plus the fact my credit card got cancelled is also a major problem

you don't need a credit card, you have to wire the money.
clean and simple.....

this online shop stocks a lot of enthusiast memory, and it's on your side of the canal, might save on shipping costs?
