if any one needs any info off of the spd tab let me know I want to optimize this set up to run as fast as possible I plan on getting a 8800 video card also is there a better bios utility i can download?
You have to install each memory stick in the appropriate memory slot in your motherboard, in order to have dual channel. What motherboard do you have? Also, you bought PC2-5300 memory right?
the intell processor came with a cooling fan it has a fan in the back of the case and another fan on the mobo but it doesnt have any cooling on the actuall ram sticks which i have seen on some boards i checked under the bios menu its running at 31 degrees celcius at idle 89 degrees f
omega i was hoping you could help with some info on this build i overclocked the cpu to 3.4 ghz i believe, by increasing the fsb to about 1400-1500 i cant remember exactly, The cpu runs idle at 31 degrees celcius now it runs around 35-39 and i dont think it went over 45 degrees celcius under full load
