Hey,

As above, I'm considering dipping my toe back into overclocking, so I thought I'd start with something I have a bit of experience with, and already have some hardware for so it won't cost me too much!

 

Looking for some s775 chips to play around with using an SS. They'll be used with a Biostar i45 and OCZ Flex DDR2 (if that makes any difference)

I'm based in the UK.

 

Thanks

Realised I may also need a HDD of some sort for my OS as well, may have an IDE 160gb HDD but not sure if it works, so thought maybe a small SSD (60gb?) might be a good idea?

Hye. Small SSD will be good.

But OCZ flex aren't a good way to play imho Better try to find good Crucial kits with D9gmh ICs. Or better go for DDR3 and Rampage Extreme!!

I've already got them, I'm assuming they should be ok to 600+

 

I know they can do 550 CAS4 which I would assume would be fine for anything I could manage using just a single stage?

 

The reason for looking at s775 is because of the low cost since I already own most of the things I'd need

Of course low cost, yeah.

 

But D9s go quite further. My kit is able to do over 630 cas4 and 680 cas5 benchable, on air! (but suicide mod, still alive lol)

Sorry to chime in, but what voltage was needed for 630MHz CL4?

Lol Don Dan Switch there to not disturb GeorgeStorm

BTW I have very good TeamGroup DDR2 kit with D9GMH. It's stable 24/7 600 5-5-5 2.2V

Thanks!

 

Well, what I meant to say, 550 MHz CL4 is average, they'll probably do 650 MHz CL5 which should be enough to max out most CPUs and have some fun.

I guess I can always get nicer RAM in the future if I find my current RAM limits me.

At the moment I don't even know how much I'll get back 'into it'.

 

Thanks!

Fair enough, I didn't know that, but as you say, that should be enough, at least for now.

You can look at some of the results I've done in the past to get an idea of what I'll be doing

 

RAM is something I can buy in the future if I want to upgrade it, but since I've got stuff that works now, and should let me get back into overclocking I'm happy using it

You must be right Don. But why starting with a limitation? Better try with the best first

Better try with the best first

Then skip DDR2 altogether, DDR3 makes more sense on 775

fixed

Haha! Owned >< Ya right both mates ...one day, one day!
