I fried my ram by playing Warsow all graphics settings maxed (with the new rendering etc.) @ 500fps.
So I got some new ram, went from pc6400 to pc8500, and the heat spreaders are far better than the ones on the G.sKill. It came in last night.

So hopefully I won't be frying my ram anymore.

Yeah, what I think happened was Nick (mezzfit) had come over to test some of his "sli" ram and I know I changed the timings and mhz back, but I'm thinking I forgot to put the memvoltage back down to what it was supposed to be for my sticks.eXg. supercat1 wrote:good lord, you literally fried your ram? what is your mobo again? the 680i?

Windows loads faster, games load faster, that's about it. And yes Supercat, it detected the correct speed and timings right off the bat. It supports up to 1200mhz for EPP capable ram. Mine runs at that speed too, I've discovered, but I'm running it at 1066 instead. After the last set I'm not taking any chances.

focus, what is your boot time (approx) with the old ram versus now? also, have you done any boot optimization on your rig aside from the memory change? i know right now my boot is at about 55 seconds from push of the button to fully operating desktop.
better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and erase all doubt.
