[Memory] Wots are the best Gig stick available atm..?

Hi,

I need to order 2x1Gb sticks of memory within the next 6 hours and was wondering what is the best out there atm..?

 

[maverik-sg1]

My sticks are the best out there - corsair XMS pro (with flashy lights) PC4400 - currently running 270mhz 2.5-3-2-5 - these sticks are rare though mate, mine were purchased as a review sample 2nd hand - I aint seen em new anywhere.

GSKILL ZX are good price/performance- will do 215mhz 2-3-2-5, up to 250mhz 2.5-3-2-5 and up to 265mhz 3-2-3-5

For 300mhz FSB you have to be looking at Mushkin, OCZ or GSKILL HZ PC4000 - most sticks will do this at 3-3-3-8.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Mav

PS: 2.5-3-2-5 is a great timing - not much penalty over CAS2

HZ wont make 300 at those timings, 3,4,4,x is a possibility, but even then you're pushing things.

Always thought the ZX had "issues" running over ~ 235-240 fsb with any timings, or has this changed in the newer batches?

Ram to get lower/cheaper end Gskill HZ aint bad, have a kit running 265 3,4,3,x not the best of timings, but not bad for the cash.

Otherwise OCZ EB or Mushkin Redline kits based off infineon CE-6/5 seem to hold tight timings at high FSB's ( this is whats in Mav's ram) the ZX has them too, but as mentioned above for some reason doesnt seem to clock quite as well as other modules...

not correct M8, my OCZ c do 282MHz with 2.5-3-3-5.

Gskill ZX.? i heard that the HX is the one to buy...

Well tvh i like OCZ and will prob buy that if thats the case...

@ sacha, wot r the best timings u can manage @ 200 fsb..?

 

[sacha35]

I run this ram 1-1 allways and the best i have done is setting it up with A64 when running PI, the timmings i can get is 2.5-3-3-3-7-12 @ 294MHz, but as said it will do 280MHz all day long at 2,5-3-3-5-7-12 with just 2.66 volts

@ mav

wots the tightest timings u can get @ 200fsb with them sticks dude..?

 

[sacha35]

2-2-2-5-7-12 @ 200MHz with 2.66 volts

 

[Highland3r]

You mate.

In that case I have no clue what you're on about... Never said the OCZ wouldnt clock well...

 

[maverik-sg1]

My ZX (now nick25's) ran 250mhz 2.5-3-2-5 (purchased in February this year) Fatties also performs in a similar way so I guess the answer is yes they are much improved.

@ animal - never tried to go beyond 2-3-2-5-7-10 @ 2.65v - I dont stay at 200mhz for long
