TCCD or BH-5?


Xzero

Recommended Posts

im almost done building my future rig but i havent choice the memory yet, im between this two memory:

 

Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK 1GB 1GB 2x512MB DDR400 2-2-2-5 (TCCD)

 

and

 

OCZ OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K 1GB 2x512MB DDR400 2-2-2-5 (BH-5)

 

the specs will be:

 

amd athlon64 3000+ venice e3

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D

msi x800 vanilla

 

i know the tccd is capable to run faster but with high latency and less voltage and the bh-5 run slower but with really low latency but consumes alot of voltage

 

ill use my future rig to play games and run 24/7 (almost, maybe 20/6) downloading stuff

 

and, if i buy the patriot should i buy an epox motherboard (EP-9NPA+Ultra) cuz i wanted to buy the lan party for the extra voltage to feed the bh-5?

 

thanks

Keep in mind that the XBLK's will more than likely match or exceed the OCZ's at lower frequencies and tight timings - and - leave them in the dust with higher frequencies and slightly looser timings, more than making up the difference in timings with raw power. Besides, is 2.5-4-3-7 really that loose? Me thinks not when you consider it's at 300+ mhz which is easily do-able with the Patriots. Hands down the easiest, most flexible memory to work with right now (for me :D )...
