Phill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thank you for the links :-) Which would you choose as the top of the line hardware will always carry a premium which I do don't think I will want to pay.. has anyone got any ideas on what memory to go for and how much to get?

Phill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 With your ram what sizr sticks have you gone for? Do you run yiur cpus overclocked on it? Watwr cooling etc? What cpu would you recommend from the list you've tested and would you overclock them? I think I was looking at the Corsair Dominator for the ram as it was black and red to go with the motherboard but I think that was the only reason... I was looking at two triple channel kits or a total of 6 sticks with 4Gb a stick.. I wondered whether I'd be better off to go with 2Gb sticks tho...

skulstation Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) al my cpu's run on air exapt the x5690 did a cuppel dice runs,and after thad back on air this is whone of the ideal kits for the sr-2 http://www.alternate.de/Corsair/DIMM-12-GB-DDR3-2000-Tri-Kit-Arbeitsspeicher/html/product/736262? my furst kit was a corsair TR3X3G1600C8D 3*1gb stick and now i use geil evo corsa GOC38GB2133C10QC 4*2gb sticks Edited July 30, 2014 by skulstation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I was thinking of going for water cooling on the cpus but I would leave the motherboard as it's a real pain lol I'll try and grab some of those then.... do they have to be the 2000Mhz kit?

skulstation Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) if you gone run the cpu's at stock ther is no neet to buy 2000 kits. for use the ful speed of the 2000 kit the bord and cpu needs to run @ 200 fsb and 2:10 ram divider and what do you plan to do whit the sr-2 havy multitraded apps or just game's? for games no need to pay premium for the top models. al the games thad i play ar ok whit the low budget cpu's thad i have. metro , crysis , need for speed , BF3 , simcity i did not record the FPS while playing but it whas good to play Edited July 30, 2014 by skulstation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well to be honest, I just wanted to get it for having it to be honest... I already own a EVGA 759 and 762 motherboard and I have always wanted to have a SR2 so I thought if one came up then I'd be very willing to part with the cash! I know it's 'old hat' now because of the newer CPU's that are due for release and everything (8 cores etc for the desktop) but there's just something about these EVGA motherboards especially from 1366 era that I just love and with the joys I've had from the two 920 D0 chips I've got both are fantastic overclockers, I just really wanted to keep that going with the SR2 I'd try it with gaming and pretty much anything As TheMadDutchDude knows me, he knows that if I do something I have to do it properly or else I just won't do it at all.. So this is why I'd just get what I would like rather than skimp on things in the first place Besides, the ram kits might be rather good for my other EVGA boards or even my two Asus Rampage Extreme boards I hope to have soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) No the 920 won't work on the SR2 as you need special cpus that talk together so I think it's definitely Xeon only. I've a few older bits of hardware here. The SR2 would simply complete it.. Edited July 30, 2014 by Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
