    I need some help How do I know what to use for my memory ratio ( I’m only running two DIMM’s) And with two sticks of ram what kind of VTT voltage should I use? I have the same MSI board and my ram is: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

    or the guy is just a midget XD

  11. G2VKR Says:

    Ho, my god, the corsair case is very huge

  12. SFhelper Says:

    upgrading to 8 gigs leads to a less than significant gain in performance, i wouldn’t recommend it because there’s really no improvement in upgrading to more than 6 gigs of ram, if you want to get the best out of your ram, you should get some faster ram, 1800 or 1866 and put it in the primary slot, and put the slower ones in the other slot

    but i’d recommend you replace the hyperx with xms3 series from corsair, from my experience they don’t retain heat at all cause of all the fins on the top. :D

    @Jorgie0101 Is MSI P55-GD80 a really good board? Compare to maybe lets say GIGABYTE GA P55-UD6 or ASUS P7P55D Deluxe… But In Price formation, the MSI seems to be very cheap/cheaper than ASUS and Gigabyte

  17. Jorgie0101 Says:

    I have a i5 overclocked to 3.6Ghz, with 4g of HyperX 1600 DDR3 memory, a MSI GD80 mobo & a GTX260 graphics card… would upgrading to 8g of memory give me a decent improvement in gaming? or anything else?

  18. jdwn67 Says:

    you can get it in quad with no ht or dual with HT

  19. Xmoto16 Says:

    this must be 13 or something just look at him and how he talks and dresses(ear rings)

  20. tinymouse2 Says:

    I5 can have 2 cores with HT now =)

  21. RealFan Says:

    The Vmax for the VTT is 1.35

  22. dcproductionsTV Says:

    omfg that tower is fucking huge!!!!

  23. RoCRoikar Says:

    @comegato26 i think its the room temp
    i have a stable 4.12 GHz air cooled, i had to adjust the volts down from what he said but higher than stocks for the stability
    I air cooled as well so idk whats the problem maybe its motherboard
