This is mainly an exercise on how small you can go... mATX is pushing volume. I was planning a case, similar to the JONSBO V11 case - see link below. This case (and a handful of similar cases) has 3 hardware slots that would fit a 2 slot GPU + the other card I need. Granted there might be some...

To shrink size of the overall system I'm looking into using a small motherboard (mini-ITX). Those motherboards only come with one PCIe slot, however I want to install a two PCIe cards (a graphics card and a comm card). I don't need the speed so both cards can run in x8 mode. I'm looking for a...

@jaquith I ran memtest on all of the modules 2 sticks at a time for ~1/2-1 day each with no errors. I also ran a burn-in test (intel's) for 1 day each with 2 sticks at a time with no issues. Motherboard is the UD3R - sorry I missed that... the original one I had was rev 1.0 and now it's...

Uncore of x17 wouldn't post, so I set it back. CPU-Tweaker reports numbers for 800, 711, 622 and 888 MHz - somewhat strange... I suppose I could scale the numbers to 1066, but that puts it way past the auto settings... I tried the 800 numbers which are still higher than the auto settings and...

With everything on auto BCLK: 133MHz System Memory Multiplier: x8.0 = 1066MHz Uncore Clock: x24.0 = 3200MHz QPI Clock: x36.0 = 4.8GHz CPU Clock: x20.0 = 2660MHz

Thanks Bill, your help is much appreciated! With a higher uncore the system won't post, so I set it back. With these settings (Vdimm, QPI/Vtt and CMD) it's still unstable - I haven't ran it long enought to crash hard, but the burn-in test complains and some programs soft crash. CPU cooling is...

Actually it's US - I ordered it from a systems builder back east and they probably get them cheaper from them (http://avantmemory.com/home). Last time I checked they didn't have any datasheet on this specific module on their site, but here's the model number AVF6456U61F9600G2-SPFP. This should...

I have a system (Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3P motherboard and 6x2GB sticks of Avant memory). For a while I was having BSOD issues with varying error messages (most often the nt kernel), but it all pointed towards some memory issue. I ran memtest extensively with no error and finally tracked it down to...
