Yeah Atomic Rooster I don't know a terrible amount about triple channel memory. I was basically regurgitating what I read coupled with experience at seeing triple channel memory use in person.

I dont understand why people who admittedly don't know about something try to sway people to do something....

If you don't know DON'T tell someone to do it!!!!

People come here for genuine help not what someone that doesn't have a clue suggests....

Don't worry about your post count Jarl worry about giving genuine helpful advice....

Well triple channel is more future proof and I have seen it first hand vs dual channel memory and I thought triple channel was amazing.

There currently is no difference. You can't really compare the two because you can only use 2 modules for dual and 3 for triple. So, you're going to have a bit more memory on the triple. If you could get both at 2GB or 3GB, it would be a different story.

Asus Rampage II with a 920 overclocked at 4.4 GHz.... With only air.... I find that extremely hard to believe.

I believe it. I also believe him when he says that they idle on 75C ..personally I call that a FAIL.Do these imagina...I mean friends of yours run stress tests or do they not even get that far jarlmaster?

It's 1 thing to overclock it to 4.4 on air...it's another thing for it to actually work or be stable. No point overclocking it if just running pacman makes it crash into a steaming fireball

Personally i think the only thing you have ever overclocked on air is your mouth. I wish you could work on gettting that a little more stable though...

Be careful going for Vista 64bit as not every manufacturer makes a 64bit driver and even when some of them do make a 64bit driver it is a cut back version of the 32bit driver and you loose a lot of functionality

+1, Agreed. He does need to learn to control his mouth and to post about thing's he actually know's about and can confirm. But seriously, It's impossible to overclock a i7 on 4.4 GHz just with Air. It would either fry your CPU, screw something up on your motherboard or you would be shutting down before you even get to the login screen, and getting to the login screen is extremely fast for a X58 / i7

I put proof but whatever. I won't argue.

 

[Lowndsey]

Well orthos does run a stability test but it gets shut down pretty quickly.

I rest my case...FAIL

 

[jarlmaster47]

Its not a fail. The point is that they got to 4.4 ghz on air and were able to boot up. Keep in mind I wasn't the one with the computer and doing the overclocking. If you want to tell them fail then by all means.

 

[Lowndsey]

yep I agree ...FAIL
