But i m facing some problems..
Some times system doesn't start...some times i get BSOD..>!!!
Wat could be the problem...???I
That RAM is your problem and will end you up with a fried Core i7 cause its running at 1.7v while i7 IMC can only stand upto 1.65v.
Best bet is to underclock and undervolt at around 1.6v by loosening timing for the time being.
Save some bucks and go for a 3GB kit, or any triple channel kit for that matter, around the specified voltage range. I recommend OCZ Core i7 kit with CL7 @1333 Mhz @5K here --> http://techshop.in/store/product_inf...oducts_id=3189 or you can get the 6GB version if you have money. DDR1333 is the sweetspot right now as higher rated kits don't give notable performance improvement and at this speed, the prices are also reasonable.8)
And the present RAM which you are using is horrible with 9-9-9-24 timings.
And since you are using a graphics card like 9600GT, I would presume that you are a gamer and I have to say that you would have been better off getting a better graphics card and a bit inferior platform as that would have been a better gaming rig than your present system.
