[llwayneio]

hey, i tried putting this thread on the memory section but wasnt getting any answers so i thought i would try my luck here, i am considering altering my order tomorrow because i am unsure whether this ram will be good enough;

i am placing the ram on a asus p5k mobo and planning to overclock a e2180 to 3ghz upwards, i am a noob to overclocking and so am not sure how ram effects it, any advice is appreciated. (i will be using the pc for gaming)

you've just linked to the OCUK homepage btw.

if this is the same as the one in the memory thread, then it will probly get deleted.

its been edited lol, second time i have done that

really? lame i wasnt getting a answers there and i need some help choosing so that i know whether to change my order tomorrow or not

so it will be fine for overclocking the cpu to 3.0ghz but beyond i should get the other stuff?

 

[llwayneio]

you got it.

although you may be able to beyond 3ghz, but im told 2gb dimms dnt clock too well.

hmmm so you mean it would clock better with 4x 1gb sticks? im sorry im new to this stuff i appreciate the help

 

[llwayneio]

well do you undertand the basic concepts in overclocking? yes?

nope never done it before

 

[llwayneio]

well i know that you have to raise the fsb in the bios and the formula is the fsb X the multiplier to get your clock speed. And that you have to up the vcore inorder to get a higher fsb i think its somthing along those lines, right? i am not sure how ram comes into it though?

 

[llwayneio]

ok i dont think i understand it propaly is it basically along the lines of, because i want my cpu to run at 3.2ghz i need to raise the fsb to 320 (because the e2180 has a 10x multiplier)? and because of this the ram will now run at 640mhz if the ratio is 1:1? (do you double the speed because its ddr2?)

sweet thanks for your help, good night
