Hello all,
After reading reviews about the overclocking potential of the Conroe E6420, I have decided to go out and buy it. I will also buy a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Mainboard to go along with it.
Now I do have some experience with overclocking, but it has been a long time and on older systems.
My questions are mostly about memory: I want to put 2 gigs of ram into my new system. The problem is, I know little about the new DDR-2 standards.
I want to overclock my E6420 using only the stock intel cooler and fan. I want a nice increase in speed; I don't want to buy a special cooler or fan to help me achieve the highest possible overclock. A lot of people on the internet have reported very decent speed just using what comes with the processor.
Now, will DDR-2 5400 4-4-4-12 be enough to achieve what I want or do I need to grab a pair of 6400 memory sticks (?
I am mostly looking at this memory here. Is this memory reliable and good for overclocking?
All your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Marc
