Nah it's not really a secret/malicious account, just multiple accounts using the same name and easily recognizable. #2 for example was because of this https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91369&p=1121812#p1121812 So you are saying that you wouldn't use the same name for your secret/malicious …

Memory kit #24 is a Corsair single ranked 2x4GB value ram kit with unknown 4Gbit ICs. Sadly there are no version numbers on Corsairs value offerings.

In my experience the Asus P4C800 series of i875P motherboards are the fastest Socket 478 boards by some margin, when running a 200MHz (800) FSB CPU stock with all Asus tweaks active that is. When overclocking most of Asus special tweaks gets disabled unless you boot at stock frequency and use a …

It is not the timing that guarantees the reliability, the clocking does, same idea as what CPU would respond to overclocking. If you can have a tight timing at 2400, keep that, this is considered reliable and best. I think 2666 is way over for DDR3. I have not heard anyone go that far when I looked …

If you are running one stick, this is not worth it. Needs to be in dual channel mode in 2 or 4 modules to get the most bandwidth and going so far to get 2666 is too much and this one I don't like small margins. Usually I see about 10% or 15% increase is normal with healthy margins for reliability, …

No point getting Hypers unless you're overclocking on LN2. 2gb Elpida BBSE and PSC modules are still really cheap and perform 99,95% of hypers in regular use. BBSE / PSC were sold ie. XMP 1600mhz cl6-8-6 and 2200 cl9 commonly with good oc headroom. Anyway, nice statistics :) Yea it's all relative I …
