Only things going for them: single slot (who cares ?) and quiet - but the temps are indeed quite bad. My first go with the card and core temp shot to 95°C...
@Husky55: if I were stuck with FSB:RAM @1:1, I would want to do the opposite: get DDR800 and set it to DDR533 [default conroe FSB is 1066], in order to be able to ramp up FSB as high as it would go to overclock the CPU to the max without hitting a RAM ceiling. Ideally what I would like to do is...
@slacker164: thanks for clearing up the confusion!
@Husky55: the main performance gain come from overclocking the processor, and the RAM price becomes a limiting factor to reaching high FSB unless the FSB:RAM ratio can be lower than 1:1. The 975x supports 4:3, it would be a big drawback in...
Looking at Intel's datasheet for the P965, it seems this chipset does not officialy support 1GB DDR800 modules. Could this be the reason for so many people having issues with the P965 boards ? Do the 512MB modules work better ?
Intel has also updated the P965 to C2 stepping (see Product...
