Where you get your P4P800 scottchen?

Question is the title? I'm probably going to go with this board with the koolance exos (cpu watercooled, and nb chip watercooled) all with my million fans going. I trust you in that this board along with the reviews show this thing hitting 300+ FSB more than once. Unlike the Max3 I've only seen hit past 300 once.

Like online? Store? Think newegg would be a good place to get it?

My other question to you is did you vmod your P4P800. I keep reading all over the extreme overclock forum that everybody is vmoding it to get 3.2v for the vdimm. Did you have to do that?

 

[scottchen]

I got mine from a local retailer, it's called anitec computers, they give me pretty good deals, and they don't charge anything for exchanging items. That's why i could switch my CPU 5 times to get 1 i wanted. I decided not to mod my mobo because i still wanted my warrenty that's why i got the OCZ copper ram because it's rated 2.9vdimm, I can go to 2.85vdimm(good enough) But the OCZ gold it's rated 3.0vdimm if you're getting that then a mod for the vdimm would be helpful. Of course i'm talking about DDR500 PC4000 memory. I've never bought from Newegg so I wouldn't know, sry.

Well I really don't want to screw up my board vmodding it b/c 1) i dont know how 2) kinda excessive work to a board. So if I'm not going to vmod it, is there any point in getting the gold 4000 DD500. Why are you going for the gold instead of your copper?

 

[KRUNNCH]

Last question for you dude, sorry about all this. I'm 99% sure doing the P4P800 deluxe (just b/c I want the extra mods) I'm assuming its the same as the non-deluxe right, just no extra mods? Question is will my Koolance mbgold chipset cooler beable to mount on the P4P b/c honestly I dont see the holes for it and I'm looking at a picture.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions but you are greatly appreciated in all this!

I checked out the Asus Website for that mobo and its upto DDR400 Dual Channel. I have a MSI NEO2 865PE mobo, which also runs upto DDR400 Dual Channel.
SO how will buying ram that is rated at a higher speed going to make any diffrance, when its not compatabile with the mobo?

 

[scottchen]

I got copper over gold because copper has lower rated voltage. Anything over DDR400 is still the same thing except they can run at higher frequency. So there's no compatibility issue.

I read earlier that you were going to buy the gold OCZ 4000. Why was it that you were going to do that?

 

[HardWareBoss]

Why? Because he can change his Ram every 3 months or less depends on when the new PC4200 gets to where he lives.

I've used New Egg for most of my upgrade fast service plus lots of free shipping.
