Hi ya Guys,
Im just finalising my system build today and would just like to check if anyone did use the G. Skill ram in there system?.
My system specs are to be
Asus Rampage Extreme Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 3.0GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 PI PC2-12800C7 1600MHz (2x2GB) CAS7 Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL7D-4GBPI)
2 x HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) (In CrossfireX)
Thermaltake ToughPower 1200W Modular Power Supply
From what i have heard the G.skill should be find but would feel happier knowing from someone first hand.
Kind Regards
Matthew

Hi Matutu & welcome to the forum
Smirnoff has Geil Evo 1600, (see post 1, 25 & 36) He did post the sticks may be faulty. He may have the new set by now. Hopefully he will post an update shortly. Nice set up by the way, looking forward to reading your updates, results.

Thats a nice build although I do feel your paying some big £'s for not much gain in performance over a lower spec budget
Well its abit easier for me as my company gives a allowance and just so happens this fits in , plus im sure in a few months once AMD has refined its a CrossfireX Drivers it will be awesome in Crysis etc. Until then ill just sit back and drawl at the 3dMark Scores

As clone recommends or the alternative is to obtain a xigmatek crossbow backplate
Well, got the mobo and everything installed, just going through driver installation. I tried installing the Intel drivers from the mobo CD and when i rebooted, I got a screen about creating a disk as there was corruption on the intel drive or something.
So, I reinstalled vista and won't be attempting to re-install that driver! Flashed to Bios 0404. This is SO much better than the P5E3 mobo I had!!!
