Does High-Speed DDR3 Help AMD's FX? Four 8 GB Kits, Reviewed : Does Faster RAM Improve The Performance Of AMD FX CPUs?

^^ nice find .. TFS ;-)

Welcome. Now i have a question should i buy a 1333mhz ram and oc it, or straight away buy a 1600 mhz ram?

based on the article better would be if you opt for DDR3 ram modules with 1600 Mhz or even more speed - they have better OC potential to reach over 2k+ Mhz speed than 1333 Mhz ram modules.

Price difference is not much between 1333Mhz and 1600 so better buy 1600Mhz ram.

Thanks guys, i will upgrade my pc in the coming days. So was confused regarding the rams!

^^ so you are going to get a FX cpu , which one ?

If my budget will allow, i will go with the phenom 1075t or a fx4100. But still almost a week is left for the purchase!

get either a FX6100 or 1075T as early as possible because cpus like 1075T, 1090T, 1100T is non longer in production ( actually no Athlon II quads and PII quad/hexa core cpus except 960T ) right now.

I think i will go with the 1075t. My budget will be 40k(+1k extension). Will the asus m5a97 can handle an overclock of 3.7-3.8 ghz of the 1075t? I can't get the ga 970a ud3 :-|

Asus Mobo you mentioned is good and it can handle it.

Thanks. Just need to wait for 10 days for the parts and the money!

^^ if you can manage the cooling even 4 Ghz is possible

Hyper 212 evo will be the cooler. I think it will be enough

M5A97 is enough for your needs.
But with 1075T? You can get to 3.8 mark, but I have tested that with stock cooler you can go to 3.5GHz (at max).

In almost all reviews, they were able to get 4.1 to 4.2 ghz. So with the hot ambient temperatures of my room, even a 3.6 ghz overclock will be good.

^^ Just wait for winter season to reach 4ghz mark ;-)

During winters the ambient temperatures reaches 4-5 celcius :-D

. Hey can a s12ii 520w handle a oc'ed 1075t and a his 7850?

Without any problem!!
Enjoy overclocking in those temperature.

Thanks, but its quite difficult to use a pc during these temps!

if you are aiming for 4 Ghz or 4 Ghz+ speed with 1.5v or more vcore I would say No.

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T & X4 970 Review - Page 11 - Power Consumption & Conclusion

Hey those are full system consumption, right? But they are using a hd 5870, and i plan to use a hd7850. So i think it should be enough. Whats your say?

yep, they are using a HD5870 but they are stress testing the cpu with prime95 app which puts it's load on cpu only - so the power consumption chart shows how much an Stock/Oced 1075T can cnsume under full load with HD5870 at idle power consumption difference between HD5870 and HD7850 is only ~10W.

So that means a gs600 is what i need right? Also won't be stressing the cpu that much, or am i?
Another query- is it possible to overclock rams without oc'ing the cpu?

According to that review GS600 will work.

Another query- is it possible to overclock rams without oc'ing the cpu?

In bios you can overclock RAm manually or using XMP profiles. Although overclocking BIOS have very little effect on performance.

But amd supports spd right?

^^ yes.

So can i use intel xmp profiles with amd boards?

if the ram timings/settings are not correctly auto detected you may have to manually input them - use cpu-z to get the SPD info of your memory modules, take a note of the timing ( at your desired speed ).

Thanks topgear and d6bmg! This waiting period is really long :-D

hi guys i bought corsair vengence1600 mhz ram 4 gb ( 4X4 )for my AMD FX 8150 with BIOSTAR TA 990FXE but it showing 1333 mhz what should i do?

^^ manually set the cpu/ram multiplier ( mem clock ) or ram speed alone.
