[eugenelam]

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am a proud owner of rampage 3 black edition. im looking for rams. should i go for ddr3 triple channel or quad channel? thinking of corsair dominator gt. any ideas sifus?

[eugenelam]

🙂 Will be getting H100 for it too. 🙂

It's cool, man! :cool: You want to run it with it's original fans? Will you setup a push-pull configuration?

[eugenelam]

Do i need another type of fans to do a push pull config bro? do u think nzxt phantom will fit h100 and that it will not be in the way for the corsair dominator? or wat casing should i get bro?

one more question. i have one asus gtx580 and say if i wanna get a gtx 680 but black edition pcie is onky 2.1 rite? the card supports pcie 3.0? no difference in terms of performance for the time being rite ?

Some people managed to set up a push-pull config in the NZXT Phantom...

I don't think you would observe much difference using either of those cards in the PCIe 2.0 vs the PCIe 3.0...

I see. thanks. thank you so much. Can;t wait to build my system. just got my ram corsair dominator gt 12gb. Guess I'll be going for Thermaltake chaser mk-i and rx 240 water cooling or rs 360.

Dear bros,
I've finally set up my Black Edition with GTX580 Matrix. nice. but one question. how can i enable XMP Profile under my bios? i cant seem to find it

[Arne_Saknussemm]

Hmm...I'm forgetting my x58 bios....isn't it in Extreme tweaker ..... Ai overclock tuner .....click on "auto" and it should give you XMP option and a profile to select....

[Zka17]

Yeap, Extreme Tweaker - Ai Overclock Tuner: set to "XMP"
