New build

[matchr2]

Hello everyone, i'm building a new PC, and here is the list:

-Corsair 750w
-ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
-2x Geforce 280 GTX
-Intel Core i7 920
-Corsair dominator 3 x 2 GB PC315000
-Antec 1200

Can the ram run with the motherboard ?

Because the mobo specs says that the motherboard only supports PC3-8500 / PC3-10666.

Bur Corsair website says that it can run together , plz help me

And is there any changes you guys would make on this list ? beside the graphic cards

Yes this can run.

"...6 x DIMM, Max. 24 GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)*/1866(O.C.)*/1800(O.C.)*/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
Triple channel memory architecture..."

BUT maybe you need set the CL and voltage manually in the BIOS.

Whats the CL ? and how much extra voltage does it need to run ?

 

[Proximon]

The CPU will need to be overclocked to run that RAM at 1866. More than just a bit I think.

The RAM is very overpriced and doesn't perform all that well.

CL is the first number you see in the timings.

Here is a comparison of memory with an i7 920:

Look over that and then choose some different RAM. If you want fast this should be fine:

(1333Mhz Mushkin at CL6)

Pros: Good price for the stated timings, but...
Cons: The specifications shown at newegg and mushkin.com say the timing is 6-6-6-18, as does the sticker on the modules. However, the SPD values shown in BIOS are 9-9-9-24. mushkin support has yet to respond.



What about that ?

 

[Proximon]

Mushkin only uses SPDs that conform to JEDEC standards to ensure a successful POST. You have to set timings and voltage manually to get those settings as you should.

That's not a con, it's a feature, and a good one.

 

[matchr2]

okay and they can easily be set to these settings with no extra colling og anything ?

 

[Proximon]

yes.

 

[matchr2]

Last one, can these ram run with my CPU without overclocking them ?

 

[saint19]

Yes, the RAM can run without overcloking you CPU.
