race301 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I got 2 GByte DDR2 TWIN2X Matched Pair new by mistake, and trying to find a list of motherboards it will work on? It is not listed anymore on Corsairs finders site anymore/ Any Help? Thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 These are boards, just off the top of my head. ASUS P5B (i965) ASUS P5K (P35) Gigabyte 965P-DS3 Gigabyte 965P-S3 I would think that you will not have any issue with any 965 or P35 based tier 1 motherboard manufacturers. I would not try to mix and match this DRAM with different modules (Size, version or density) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race301 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 965 or P35 ? Which do you like best. Thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race301 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 This work? Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R 965 or P35 ? Which do you like best. Thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This work? Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R I can't say. All I can say is that you have older DRAM. Marrying it up to a very new chipset can be problematic. I would look for an older chipset to run with that DRAM although it might work. The 965P chipset would be the most likely to run well with that DRAM, but P35 is a fine chipset as well. You can find the P5K still around so that might well be where I would go. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=2067&modelmenu=2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race301 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks DerekT , I think I will buy it just because I have a ASUS P4PE now and has not missed a beat in 4 years. The manual recomends the 6400 ram, not mine the 5400? What CPU would you get? Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do some overclocking, then you can go with a fine budget minded CPU such as an E5200. You will not need an aftermarket cooler and still get a very good overclock. A 12.5 multiplier and a 200MHz FSB (QDR = 800Mhz). So, move from a 200Mhz FSB to a 333Mhz FSB and you get 12.5 X 333 = 4.1Ghz and some are getting this speed, but with an aftermarket cooler. If you drop to an 11X multiplier and 333Mhz you get 11 X 333 = 3.66Ghz and 667Mhz on the DRAM. A nice marriage and fast as fast can be. http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=E5200+overclock&btnG=Search&meta= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 E7200 has a 9.5 X multiplier and a 266Mhz FSB. With your DRAM, you will be able to clock to 3.1GHz with 333 X 9.5. It's your choice. I would go for the E5200 because of the higher multiplier and lower fsb. For such a processor I would go with an Arctic Freezer 7 cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
