Ebay does not care or mind because I use whatever coupons I get on each of these accounts for genuine purchases that often is in thousands. I do this becasue I have better chances of getting the coupons I want in...

    Logitech Wireless Desktop Keyboard Mouse Kit MK320 Rs 1170/-

    Wow, the price difference between this price and your own ebay shop is 20%. If you can fix it, I would be interested in buying from ebay.

    A question regarding Aramex Shop & Ship and Ebay (US)

    Yeah, they are screwing up big time for sure. I had a package that shows as delivered to me and signed, but I never received it. The pin code for the delivery also shows the wrong pin. Granted, this is Aramax normal courier and not ShopandShip, but no one has a clue what is happening.

    Be careful and make sure it works on 110-240v. Else you will need a voltage convertor that will kill the deal !

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    Okay folks, good update finally. The Mushkin ram is very good and stable. One hour of Prime95 and another hour of Memtest and it is all good. More importantly, since Gigabyte boards default to 1.6v for memory (read up on google as to why they do that), the memory runs at 1T easily instead of the...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    ^^^ Thanks. Only one thing common in both the cases, X6 and a 880 board. Maybe some issues with the 880 board and DDR3 when running a 135w processor ? Anyways, hoping the new memory comes in today and does not fail me again. Already wasted Rs 280 blue darting it back to Prime :-(

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    ^^^^ Shucks man, now you tell me this. I already asked them to ship the mushkins, but that will happen today evening. Do you really think it is a bad decision ? And do you know who handles the Mushkin warranty in Bangalore or India ? This is the one I asked for : Buy Mushkin RAM | Mushkin 4GB...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    No, it was a fresh windows install. Did it thrice. One install with good stick works great, one install with bad stick BSOD's fast and the combo sticks also BSOD's, albeit late. And Prime95 bugs out VERY quickly with rounding off errors even though memtest passes. To be frank, I have been...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    Thanks for all the advice folks, I ran memtest via bootcd and it ran flawlessly on each stick for 6 hours at 1.5v. But windows starts going down and Prime95 throws up at anything less then 1.65v. So something really fishy about the whole thing since the sticks work well and rock solid at 1.7v...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    Only one stick is a issue, figured it out by running stress on each stick at a time. The other stick works perfectly in Auto or when I set timings manually. By the way, when I set it at Auto, the Bios defaults to 1T, the good RAM can handle it still at 1.5v. So I set the actual numbers in the...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    Well, I just got a sick feeling. After running stable for a full day, I just got a BSOD with a memory error. Guess the best option is to return this to PrimeABGB. Now is the time to see how good their customer service is, especially given that I have ordered over 25k of stuff from them in just...

    CPU/Mobo AMD Athlon II X4 640 vs AMD Phenom II X 955 BE

    Re: AMD Athlon II X4 640 vs AMD Phenome II X 955 BE Im under the same dilemma and am tempted to try my luck with the Phenom II 555 Black edition at the same price of the Athlon II X4 and try to unlock the two extra cores. And in case you have not done research on the same, primeabgb has both of...

    CPU/Mobo AMD motherboard stability issues with DDR3 (XMP based memory)

    ^^^ Interesting points that you raise. And now Im confused again. If the RAM is not finding stability at 1.5v, should I return and change the RAM or let it be happy at 1.65v ? On the other hand, what if the motherboard id the culprit ? How do I figure this out ? Got it all from Primeabgb, so it...
