what is the motherboard? i am guessing you are using Socket 939?
 
IF you want dual core OCing, get a 3800 not a 4400, they will clock higher...

try getting some DDR-500, like mushkin or G-Skill, or even corsaire 3500LL, as it should clock v. well.

also, get Arctic Cooling HSF's on the CPU and GPU for quiet and performanxce!
 
I ran a 4400+ with stock cooler on a K8N NEO4 Platinum with 1GB DDR400 but it wasn't very stable. So, switched to a A8N-SLI Premium. It's stable and temps are reasonable. Haven't tried OCing yet.
 
right.. its a a8n-pre.
dont worry about ram will upgrade when i can afford it.. more concerned if it will fit the cooler or not..
the case is the tsunami and the mobo is the a8n-prem.
 
sorry there is like 32 views and no actuall answers... would love to know if it fits or not.

ive had a look on the thermal take website, and it seems that it will work.

im wondering why you want one, then an Arctic cooling freezer 64 Pro is cooler and even though it has a fan its still unaudable!

Zalman FATAL1TY FS-V7 CPU COOLER $ 62.50
Zalman FATAL1TY FS-C77 CPU COOLER


any of these would be fine, they are still v. quiet, but they will cool significantly better, unless you are putting a large CMF fan on the thermaltake.

Whether or not a 3800 or a 4400 will clock higher depends on which batch they come from, often referred to as stepping. Some are better than others.


DDR-500 is good for most boards if you're looking for bandwidth but if you have an Asus A8N series board then you might have a problem. High bandwidth memory uses Samsungs UCCC chips (including G-skill and corsair DDR-500) and there's been reported problems with Asus A8N boards. I know this because I tried them both. The Corsair 3500LL pro however is great in CAS3, it can be set to 270 Mhz or higher.

This is an email I received from a G-Skill tech.

Hi



The Samsung UCCC chip has incompatible issue with Asus A8* motherboard. We tested on DFi NF4 Ultra-D which is no problem at all.

I am still working on it. Basically if DFi motherboard can do it but why not Asus, many users are thinking as this way right? You can try 2T at Asus motherboard and see how does it do.



Thank you

I also tried Corsair DDR 500 with poor results as well and then went to Corsair 3500LL pro and my memory is running at 278 mhz. I over clocked an Opteron 170. It is stable at 2.78 Ghz. I think that CPU would have gone higher but that seems to be the operational limit of my memory. Also 2T command rate is not an option for me.

why not go and get some BH-5 or TCCD? they will do DDR-600 easy ( Geil one will, cos i used to have some!)
