    PC Peripherals branded smps

    Yup, when I wrote refer to the Antec website for latest and updated ratings, I meant the Antec USA website. They were the first ones to list the new ratings. Even folks in Europe appear to have been foisted with the older ones for a while.

    My Untested Value Ram Cooling Guide - To extract some Mhz

    TBH, I'm personally not particularly keen on retro-fitting the sticks with either the heat-spreaders or the RAM sinks unless, of course, they come along with those from the manufacturer. But that's just me and isn't meant to be discouraging at all if you're keen on experimenting with that mod...

    PC Peripherals branded smps

    Antec enhanced their TruePower series ratings late last year - much of that may have had to do with the issues people ran into with MSI Neo2 Platinum and ABIT mobos. You need to look for the Serial # under the barcode on the PSU Box - if it reads D0411XXXXXXX (and later) then you're most...

    My Untested Value Ram Cooling Guide - To extract some Mhz

    As I mentioned somewhere here recently, there are folks who believe HeatSpreaders == HeatTrappers Check this one out: Do heatspreaders actually help with Gskill? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=60164 The alternative is to use RAM sinks as here...

    Nah, quite crappy ! But tell you what - PLEASE SELL THOSE STICKS TO ME :hap2: ! Great Oc-ing, Man ! Hey, listen to this. Kinda hearsay evidence since I don't have that board, but with 2 x 256 single sided sticks, the A8N-SLI doesn't have the 1T issue. That is, at 1T you could clock (the RAM)...

    Post your overclocks !

    I think its a li'l on the lower end - what do you have 3000+ or 3200+ ? Anyways, if you're using the A64Tweaker and if your mobo bios doesn't have that option, you could set the Max Async Latency to >= 8 ns for stability, especially if you're using 2 x 512 MB.

    Yup, The Asus K8N4-E board has been available in Chennai for a while and I gather its cheaper than the one for s939. In fact, I couldn't believe that it was nf4 pcie s754 (until Darky told me recently that it exists). Some specs here: http://www.directron.com/k8n4edeluxe.html
