Hi all,
New user & First time poster but long time reader of this great forum!
I recently purchased a new system rig as my current machine is out of date and un-upgradeable (Dell 8250!) - below is the listing of the new hardware setup:
I've looked at the motherboard manual and noticed it can adjust the memory timing - I've checked and the memory timing is not the same as what the memory can do - I assume I have to change it myself (why wasn't it picked up by M.I.T?)
I've alread read the "Gigabyte X38/P35/P965 (DS* DQ* S3) Overclocking and General BIOS tweaking Guide" sticky but it doesn't apply for my motherboard make so I'd rather not risk it and make this as a new post instead.
Is there anything else I can do to make the rig as speedy as I can? I've already removed the jumper pin on the Seagate HDD which gives me full 3GB access instead of 1.5GB.
Thanks all,
