    OC Questions on 1055T

    I am using a 1055T on an ASUS M4A89GTDPRO. The only adjustments that I made were to adjust the CPU Freq up to 255, the CPU voltage to 1.35, and the CPU/NB Voltage to 1.25. HT Voltage is still stock @ 1.2 as is the SB Voltage @ 1.1. Question 1: Under full load encoding video, CPUID tells me...

    Ripjaws series RAM differences?

    I'm building a rig with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 on an ASUS M4A79XTD mobo (at least that's the best bang for the buck I could match it up with). The mobo says it does DDR31800 (O.C.) with standard support for 1600. So my question comes in selecting the RAM. I came across two version of G.Skill...
