[schultzyschultz]

So I received the new 10666cl9-4gbsr...popped em in..and perfecto....worked! So I put the old F3-12800CL9-2GBRL ram in slots 3 and 4 (was told it "prolly wont work") and wammo it is working great. BUT am I getting ALL I can out of the RAM? I did a spec am wondering if this looks ok...I have no clue what any of the below means... I am very new at this and all i know is from what I read. Can anyone Please tell me if this is looking ok...did I gain or lose with adding the old ram(other than the obvious 12GB)

Not sure who told you it prob wouldn't work (wasn't me), but it would have been a good guess, I had a mix of results trying to mix different flavors of sticks.....so congrats that it works.

As to all the gobblety gook you listed, basically it shows that you have have the 4GB sticks in slots 1,2 and the 2GB slots in 3,4. Also the 1600 sticks automatically stepped down to 1333 (as we expected) and all are running on CR2, which is good.

Looks like a nice rig, how do you like the dual monitors?

[schultzyschultz]

No it was not u... a friend of mine told me it wont work.

Thanks... this is my 1st build. I really enjoy it...but am totally an armature. Know just enough to slap together a nice PC...but NOT enough to really "get it" and enough to be a danger to myself , my PC, and my bank account...

I was big into slapping this bad boy together and having it function well....and run nice and cool. Next Build will be for a wireless unit for the HD TV...... looking at the micro boards.... but am finding... just building another pc is more cost effective.

I think my next endeavor is to try overclocking......

Love the dual mont....

Since it's a new build, wait up to a week or so, to give your thermal compound on the CPU/Heatsink time to cure, then make your OCs in small increments so you can adjust voltages as needed. Many people want to just jump from say 3GHz to 3.6 or higher then get real frustrated when a myriad of problems come up.

and yeah on the dual setup, have been running these for a few years now, am glad to see more people doing so, I often use the bigboy (28") for TV either in a window or full screen, am running Direct TV in through an ASUS tuner card, so I can eliminate the need for a recorder box

[schultzyschultz]

this is not a "new" build just a RAM increase...original build was May of last year. Was getting a 70+% load on the RAM while playing COD.

Cool, then you can move on to OCing whenever your ready, just didn't want you to fry anything (which happens fairly often on new builds)
