Thanks. My Antec 900 has four 120mm fans and a 210mm exhaust fan on top. If they seem warm, I'll add a copper heat spreader like:

Those should do nicely for 2.2 V or less, provided that they stay fixed to the IC and maintain good contact. I think they look really good too.

I would reccomend something that actually screws together, and something with a heat pipe and fins is even better. Check out these- or something similar. I have the Thermaltake model and they do a great job.

You will likely get heatspreaders with the memory. What's mentioned on tankguys is just a disclaimer so if you are one of the rare ones who doesn't, you can't complain.

I definately recommend a fan, however.

dont just think that its the RAM. you never know a different motherbaord might help you get that extra 200mhz.

I second that.

I ran this little test with my Rampage Rig and I have Kingston HyperX 1200.

425 9 3,825 850 3-3-3-9 PL6

Read 8816
Write 9044
Copy 8979
Lat 53,9

475 8 3,800 1191 5-5-5-15 PL7

Read 10265
Write 10101
Copy 10293
Lat 49,3

It´s a pity that your board can´t run anything stable other then 1 : 1, coz you loose performance, but that´s the way it´s sometimes.

Have you check out this.

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 CL 4-4-3-5 2.0~2.1 Volts

I have heard that they shouldn´t be that bad, some have push then to 950-975 4-4-4-12, so maybe you can make 850 3-3-3 with them.

oo Kingston HyperX 1200, I want that ram!

Abit Pro's regularly exceed 500 FSB. I have had mine to 530, booted ran SuperPi, but would not run Prime or Orthos. My problem is a poor batch for my E8400. I've tried 3 different RAM types and all of them performed well:
Ballistix 6400 2x2
Dominator 6400 1x2
OCZ Titanium 6400 1x2
Unless I have a defective mobo (and I have no reason to believe I do), I'm pretty sure my processor is the problem.

I'm confused why I would lose performance running 1:1. 1:1 is the most stable setting. If I needed a higher FSB, I would understand asynchronous mode. But since 424 FSB is the most my E8400 can use with stability, why would I want higher?

Increased Bandwidth and decreased Latency. Plain and simple.

DDR2 5300 @ 1085 MHz w/ 4-4-4-9 1T timings!!!! not bad for $55 shipped.
Thank you Tankguys.com and Team xTreem. Can't wait to tweek them even futher.
