Anyway can I oc the c2q? and will that ram be good enough for it? I am a noob at oc but once i get my system i am going to check it out alot more and stuff also note that this is in CAD and its from a store where I live so don't tell me to order from ncix or anything like that www.memoryexpress.com is the store
you can get better RAM for cheaper(after rebate). and what about cooling for the CPU? and yes you can OC. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146565
that ram is $119.95 at the place i am getting it at and i was thinking of getting a Scythe Ninja Plus Rev. B CPU Cooler for cooling
I don't care I don't like to ship or w.e its a pain when i can just go and pick it all up at once. anyway what about this ram than? OCZ 2GB PC2-6400 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 Kit (2 x 1GB) Our Price: $124.95 After Rebate: $94.95
let me see if I have this right... -drive to store walk in deal with people and pay -sit on ass and type in numbers... ehh.. best HSF is thermal right ultra-120 FYI. I want to say that OCz RAM is elpida or aenon. google "micron d9" the google "elpida" see the diference? EDIT: cad... ahh that's not bad then... heh from that store this seems to be the cheapest stuff using D9 http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?Pag...uctID=8989&SID= if you don't get it I'll try and find something using promos(the enxt ebst stuff) for cheap those prices aren't abd for CAD
it overclocks better is more resistant to heat and responds better to voltage increases basically all the best and most expensive RAM uses it, BUT you can often find it in midrange kits. example given my DDR2-533 kit with micron D9GCT IC(integrated circuits) can defiantly hit DDR2-1066 within warranty at respectable timings. an elpida based DDR2-800kit probably won't basically all the "RAM companies" don't make RAM, they package, rate, and distribute it. RAM is basically PCB + ICs(which are the microchips used in RAM) + mis logic. Usually what matters most to an overclocker are: price, ICs, and PCB in that order. on anotehr ntoe real world performance isn't TOO memory critical asside form say winrar.
This is a better deal for someone in your situation, http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?Pag...ctID=10402&SID= A lot better than the case/psu combo you have listed.
Do you want this comp for gaming? General Purposes? Something to dink around on? These all play a factor in rigging up your PC.
get a tuniq tower for a hsf if your going to overclock. change that case, get a good brand. antec 900 or p182? the psu in that case you said will post probably be pretty bad, make sure you have a good brand psu.
