Hello folks,
I got a little bit of a situation here
I'm not very experiences with overclocking but I had my CPU (Q6600 G0 on a Abit IP35 Pro with 4x1GB DDR2 GEIL) overclocked to 3,2GHZ with normal air cooling and it seemed fine. But already the very first tries showed me some problems with my RAM, took me quite a while to get some running without freezes etc.
I had my system running for about 2 years now and since a few days I can't really work with 4GB anymore. If I take 2x1GB out, everything runs smoothly, even oc'ed.
Now I don't know wether
a) I'll just get 2x2GB DDR2 and that's it.
b) I'll get a new MoBo with DDR3 support and get 2x2GB DDR3 or even 3x2GB DDR3.
Is it worth to pay an extra 100 Euros for a new mobo just to get DDR3?
I don't want to spend too much money, so new CPU + new mobo + new RAM is not an option right now.
I'm quite happy with the Abit IP35 Pro besides the RAM problem above..
cheers
