Popped

Memory arrived, I got some different stuff to you loudbob, hopefully it will be ok.

CPU's are supposed to be in the country and trackings says they were out for delivery today but nothing showed up.. hmmm.
 
LB what frame times are you getting on 8101-2-3-4's?

Want to compare to see if its worth going for 1600 ram.
 
9:04 to 9:16 on 8101's and 7:11 on 8105 which is all I've had so far.

Still don't know if ram running at 1600, bios says 1333 but I've got it set to forced 1600. The higher frame times were when I tried it at auto speed of 1333 tho.

I will be doing a fresh install when i get chance.....and i think i have the bios set right

8101's are running about 9.25-9.30 and 8103's about 6.58-7.05 so it looks like your ram is doing its work.
 
using that to estimate for an 8103 should give me around 7:01 per frame - so doesn't look like there's any difference......

Will spend a bit of time this weekend doing a fresh install and checking bios settings again.

If you want (and have some free time) you could send me what you have your bios settings at and I'll check against mine.

As I'm sure I've mentioned :D I have my memory set to 'Forced 1600MHz' as it doesn't detect that it's 1600MHz as standard :( - but I'm still not sure it's running at 1600MHz cause the bios still says 1333MHz not matter what I set it to.

Did you use the same supplier as I did?

If so did you manage to barter him down even further or did you find a better deal elsewhere?

No different seller in the US, cost about £500 less for the four. Hope they are ok, seller has a good rep.

Memory was same price but got low profile Crucial PC3-12800

Still got to get the other bits, just waiting for some deals.
