also goes which online computer store is really reliable? theitwares or theitdepot?

 

Try to source stuff from MD Computers itself.

 

If not possible from them check up The IT Wares and Prime ABGB on eBay.in. Both are Bombay based distributor / retailer chains for various PC component companies. The IT Depot is Madras based so might take time in shipping to you.

 

flipkart only as a last ditch option, too expensive on certain counts, only consolation, free shipping.

Guys, how is g.skill sniper compare to g.skill ripjaws??

Ripjaws have tighter timings which means lower latency.

 

Go for it.

 

Latency has little value to it any more, save for the ultimate benchmark hunter / over-clocking fanatic. If the G.Skill Sniper kit is cheaper, go for it.

PS you don't have local stores? They're cheaper than online stores most of the time

Okay, good you did your homework on that end then.

 

Just share with me which RAM you are getting from snapdeal.

guys how to i check which ram is compatible with my mobo? Suggest something for my DH55PJ motherboard. 4x2 gb sticks. Thanks .

 

Find the RAM's name on the vendors site, go to the product page and see what all chipsets / motherboards it is compatible with, e.g.,

 

dwcb4l.jpg

 

 

vevxxj.jpg

 

 

2j3peo2.jpg

 

Here is your motherboards' product page on Intel ark, it also states that the board is now EoL -- Intel DH55PJ Technical documentation

 

In here, to check your compatible RAM modules, go to the following, Compatibility >System memory

 

Do some homework here and you can zero down on whichever RAM kits are compatible with your motherboard as well as are still in market circulation.

 

To zero down the same on Corsair products, go to FAQ's and Support section for the product you have short-listed. Also try this application they have provided.

 

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Kulfi bhai, Alpha is a decent guy and answered your query. A simple Google search would've given you below info in less than 60 seconds, beech.

 

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dh55pj/sb/CS-031469.htm

 

The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

  • Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
  • Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8 organization
  • 8 GB maximum total system memory (with 2 Gb memory technology)
  • Minimum total system memory: 1 GB using a 1 Gb x8 module
  • Serial presence detect
  • DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

Google first, ask later.

It is compatible right??

^^ Check RAM compatibility from this QVL provided by ASUS.

 

ASUS and Corsair have not updated their listings but the memory module should be compatible with the system, no worries.

 

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

according to that list ..there is no mentioned of my model no. of ram i ordered.

 

But other requirements do meet...like Non-ecc,unbuffered and all. so i guess it should be compatible...

That is what I am basing my assessment off.

 

There is mention of CMP4GX3M2A1600C9 memory which is a 2 x2GB kit(dual-channel) rated at 1600MHz with a CAS Latency 9, while the module you are purchasing is CMZ4GX3M1A11600C9, 1 x4GB rated at 1600Mz with a CAS Latency 9. So ideally it should run without a hitch.

I also instealled win8 professional.

 

few things i noticed..

 

 

the CPu temperature shows as 40(normal and when playinga nd all goes to 50-60.. was playing max payne 3. is the temperature normal?? I am using CPUID monitor for temperature.

 

other thing on asus bios screen my vengeance shows as 4gb @ 1333 mghz..but it should be able to run at higher than that right??

 

also the ram is very close to cpufan and cpu...i tried to move it further from it on the second or third slot...but then pc wont start...does that mean i cannot change the slot??

This is completely standard. Please reconfirm the temperatures, use other applications like Real Temp, CoreTemp.

You have a 1333MHz module or a 1600MHz module?

also the ram is very close to cpufan and cpu...i tried to move it further from it on the second or third slot...but then pc wont start...does that mean i cannot change the slot??

 

Maybe because you have only one module of RAM that is why, if you get two modules you can try to switch them to different dual-channel slots.

Kthxbye :fear::scarerun:

 

 

 

BTW when it comes to PC building, this is a fun tool to play around with - http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

 

 

Gives you a whole load of options to select from, sorting based on reviews and features for each part, a list of prices (sometimes a bit dated but usually the same you'll find on the website it points you to) and promos for any part you select from a number of major stores (atleast in the US), suggested power ratings (though those can be off by a bit) etc. You can save your build and track price changes and promos daily or weekly too.

 

The more I play with the closer I get to chucking my 5 year old laptop out and building a proper gaming machine. Only reason I'm holding off is for whatever AMD (Radeon) has in store for October-November and any Black Friday deals that may come my way around that time.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think I will be able to get GTX760 within my budget? Also any suggestions on cabinet and cooler and how many watts power supply should I buy. Is 600 watts good enough?
