Gaming rig parts?

Like I said, that is the C version of the DS3R, which has DDR3 slots but is basically crippled because of it. If you have your heart set on DDR3 then get an X38 board, but your going to be paying through the roof for the board and memory, for basically nothing.

Also DDR2 800 memory with 4-4-4 timings is basicaly the same as DDR2 1066 memory with 5-5-5 timings or higher, they can both run 1000mhz or higher with 5-5-5 timings.

Different model# = Different board. Notice the "C" everyone is pointing out.

I have the Same mobo and the same ram on the way, So I'm hoping it works good! (ordered last night so should have later this week)

I still think you should go w/ the IP35-Pro. It's nice to have some more BIOS options when OCing the e8400's. They like GTL Ref from what I've read.

I just bought my system(sig) from newegg. Had major problems with the 620hx being DOA, and the EVGA being DOA. Sent them both back, still waiting on my card to get back, but my new PSU works great. The card i got looked rather messed up, with grinding along the edges, it just didn't seem right when i opened it up, sure enough it was dead. Newegg has always been kind with RMAs. Also yes my 8800gts came with crysis.

Hope you don't have the same problems as i did! GL

Edit// I believe newegg has a 30day return policy for most of their hardware. Check in your account, you should be able to find more information there.

^^^alright Thx man, i am worried about case/monitor getting damage, if it does, it would be very annoying to send it back n wait..
Plus the processor is coming from California, n i am in north carolina..so i guess it will take around 4 or 5 days to get it..

i wish they start opening stores in retail..but Thanks for replying

i am really looking forward to corsair 620hx, i heard its very quite

Wait you bought the DS3"L" instead of the DS3"R"? If so you've failed to notice the letter differentiating again lol. DS3L is a weaker board with much less overclocking potential, 3phase vs say 8phase on a P5K Pro, 4 on the DS3R, Abit IP35-E or Pro would be alot better as well.

 

[Trap05]

Also the ds3l has no matrix raid if that matters to you.

ya i dont care about raid, i will not use it, and plus yes i bought the p35-ds3l..was cheaper, i know it doesn't overlcock as well as expensive board, but if it doesn't workout, i can always return it...n get ipro board or that asus one

 

[blazed]

Don't think they'll let you return it because it doesn't overclock well enough, maybe if it burns up though lol.

any other reason u can come up with that they might take..o ya i got 1, it doens't have raid lol

but the parts should be here tomarrow, and e8400 will arive on friday since it coming from california

which batch # is bad? i heard alot of temperature issues..

 

[blazed]

No, E8400s don't have temperature problems, just temperature reporting problems. This is especially true for idle temps, causing people to panic and create threads like "Why does my e8400 idle at 45C when my E6850 idled at 40C?".
