Hi Colin,

You have a beautiful setup! It looks just great! Nice DVD mod! Thank you for sharing!

However, why are you running your DDR5 kit at 4800 instead of 6000 as spec'd? Is the kit somehow incompatible with your motherboard? or the CPU?

Enjoy your rig!!! It is so unfortunate that we are about to lose this game, but you're definitely ready for any new one that comes along! Booyah!!! Jimbo. ;)

Hi Jimbo

Thanks, the extra L3 cache on the cpu is faster and better for gaming, so to save pushing the slower ram (with how much it costs now) I simply run it that way , the kit is
Fine no problems at all.

Kind regards
