OK heres my setup atm what do you guys think? And is there any improvements

AMD dual core 4200+

OCZ 1GB EL Platinum (from sysextreme)

DFI SLI-D

BFG 6800 Ultra 256MB OC

what do you guys think? Is it all compat?
 
definentally. and if he was going to get ANY fx series it'd be the FX-57 cos it ditches teh long, well lived, Hammer core for 0.9m diego cores.
 
WTF is wrong with u people .

U guys are still chanting about the rev.2 memories.

Forget it now !!!!!

its time has come and gone.

Its a waste of 150 dollars or w/e for TCC5 chips.

All they can do is 2-2-2-5 @ pc3200 speeds. THATS IT !

u wont be able to take it any higher than 250 mhz . If u DO happen to get that high , u will need timings like 3-4-4-8.

Forget TCCD now , its expensive and hard to get.

Try the new Gskill GH series with the newer winbond bh5 die. With the board that your getting , i wouldnt be surprised if u get them to 260 mhz easy with 2-2-2-5 timings.

Watch it rip TCC5 into pieces at that speed.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ !!!!!!!!

Frag , i thought u would stop with the rev.2 chanting after i told u that they are coming with tcc5 chips but man come on , why are u still recommending those memories to everyone.

its a waste of money . PERIOD !

@ Nicks : There are FX55 floating around in the market which have the sandiego 0.09nm cores. They have BN code in their model number. Go over to XS and look for a guy named Stephen ( he writes his name weird but thats what it means ) . He got his hands on some and has tested it.
 
thnx bourne, but take a chill pill.

yea so the OCZ sucks. thats his problem lol. if he didn't do enough research before buying and only looked @ brand name, then thats his problem, ya know?

I thought the new TCC5 was going to be a decent chip comparable to the TCCD?

And you can get a Diego cored FX-55 anywhere... Like... Newegg! lol

Right well I recommended GSkillz to this chap but he can't afford them cause they cost a bomb.

I also recommended an FX-55 but that is also out of his pricerange (IMHO - most peeps), so I feel he has gone with the best choice for what he is paying over here in the uK. Some people don't have budgets that they can keep extending |3ourne....especially with the prices here in the UK. The FX-57 (San Diego) is £650!! :eek:
 
but im not talking about the gskill TCCD . I never recommended those as well. TCCD is well on its way out of the market. I am talking about the winbond IC Gskill GH series. They are like 160 dollars or so on newegg. For the timings and performance u gain , its a price well worth. If thats still high then he can get the OCZ Gold series . They have the new bh5 die as well.

Please tell me in my post where i recommend tccd there :D .

Never said you did mate.

What about the issues with higher vdimm on LANPARTY boards. Doesn't BH5 love voltage?

Just asking cause you know :)
 
as long as he gets a psu with variable voltage rail pots , eg. ocz powerstream series ( 600w recommended since he wants sli lateron ) , then he can do the jumper trick and get all the 4 V vdimm options without using the 5V rail. Just keep in mind to keep the 3.3V rail about 0.2V higher than the vdimm u want.

So if u set it at say 3.4 V then tweak the rail to 3.6V

OCZ Powerstream allows 3.3 V rail upto 3.8V if im not wrong.

That should be enough since for everyday use i wouldnt give those modules higher than 3.4 V Vdimm.
