Default Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

Evga mobo is for extreme OCers. If you don't want to run your proc 4Ghz & beyond just get the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5. It shoud cost you Rs. 16.5-17K

@ comp@ddict - it's not that c8 1800Mhz ram is of no use. They give
much bandwidth & has less latency ( 2ns. ) than c7 1600Mhgz Ram.

Sure they does not offers great bandwidth benifit in gaming. But when you OC them you will get the real benifit out of them. And the price difference is not huge. Hardly Rs. 1K. For that 1K you can take your rams to speed as close to 2200Mhz & beyond.

The DDR2 667Mhz modules @ c4 performs better than DDR2 800Mhz c5.
But no ocers will get those cd DDR2 667Mhz modules coz the 800Mhz modules will give you much more oc headroom.

It's the case with 1600Mhz and 1800mhz ram. I recommended 1800Mhz for great OC capability. It's only k more.

But at the end of the day it's your call what you will buy
