I am impressed with your choices!!!
Only a few comments:
First of all make sure to buy ONLY samsung TCCD chipped ram. Many manufacturers use these chips, but make sure you get something with TCCD chips.
Second: upgrade your power supply, these boards DEMAND the best highest power PSU you can(t) afford. Use an Enermax 600 watt rev 2.0., PCP&C, or the best OCZ supply available. (You will thank me in stability for this one.)
I wrote the review here at BB on the DFI Ultra-D. I have also had the pleasure of working with the SLI-DR.
Currently I am running the Ultra-D, a 3000+ Winchester, a gig of either Ultra 31720 TCCD ram, or Corsair TCCD, or sometimes a gig of G.Skill TCCD.
With that, a Sapphire X850XT card.
You are correct to wait for the Venice chips, they will have much better memory controllers onboard than any winchester ever had.
My 3000+ chip dies at ~2250 Mhz, but I have had this board stable at some huge overclocks with a week 0448 winchester. Clocks like 315x8 for 2520 MHz!!!
WIth a Venice chip and a gig of G.Skill LE TCCD ram, you will be able to go to some huge overclocks!!!
I almost forgot, welcome to BigBruin.com!!!!!!!!!!
Please feel free to continue this discussion, I have lots more info on how to make all of this gear very stable and great overclocks and avoid some of the bugs that lurk!!!
Although your time is sometime tomorrow afternoon, feel free to get me on AIM for lots more information  |
