Sharp Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Myrsky: yes it will work 200MHz 2.5-3-3-8 @ 2.6V, maybe go for 2.7v. The only problem is when people put a lot of voltage through it.

SSSF Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I want to buy 2x 512 MB for my comming DFI board. PQI have a nice price: 512MB x 2 (1GB) PC3500 DDR, CL2.5 (PQI, PQI3500-1024DB):157,38 Euro's 512MB x 2 (1GB) PC4000 DDR, CL3 (PQI, PQI4000-1024DB): 171 Euro's 512MB x 2 (1GB) PC4200 DDR, CL3 (PQI, PQI4200-1024DB): 162 Euro's 512MB x 2 (1GB) PC4400 DDR, CL3 (PQI, PQI4400-1024DB): 213 Euro's Can somebody explain the price difference between PQI and other brands concerning overclock And is than the only difference that they are tested and than taged 3500, 4000, 4200 or 4400? If so, does the stated speed also say something about the overclock performance and how mush impact must I expect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 It would serve you well to check out the OCDB if anyone is using any of the one's you listed and go from there. My Corsairs are beaten by my Patriot and the XBLK are a lot cheaper. Point is to do a bit of research and you will be happy with your purchase in the end.

SSSF Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I think the OCDB is offline, or could it be that the site is overloaded? I have decided to insert 2 GB of memory. If I'm talking about 512 modules I will insert 4 of them. OCZ 2x1GB PC4000 Platinum EB Series Dual Channel Kit tested results from http://www.insanetek.com/review.php?id=92 • 200MHz 2.0-3-2-5 1T 2.6v • 225MHz 2.0-3-2-5 1T 2.6v • 250MHz 2.5-3-2-6 1T 2.6v • 255MHz 2.5-3-2-6 1T 2.7v • 275MHz 3.0-3-2-8 1T 2.7v You are able to run this memory on 2.9V still having warranty, but can I get better timing when doing so and must i than cool my memory? Are these Infineon CE-6 chips good with DFI? I could also buy these: OCZ 2x512MB PC4000 EL Gold Dual Channel Kit tested results from http://www.insanetek.com/review.php?id=49 • 200FSB 2.0-3-3-6 2.8v • 250FSB 2.5-4-4-7 2.8v • 270FSB 2.5-4-4-7 2.8v • 290FSB 3.0-4-4-8 3.0v This on you could run on 3V maintaining warranty, but i thought I read somewhere that these where Hynix ships (who are no good?) There are also some other possibilities: OCZ 2x512Mb PC3200@222 EL Gold Dual Channel partnumber OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K OCZ 2x512MB PC3200 EL Performance Series Dual Channel Pack Kit partnumber OCZ4001024ELDC-K OCZ 2x512MB PC3200 Platinum EL Series Dual Channel Kit partnumber OCZ4001024ELDCPE-K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I placed an order for the plats a week ago but the vendor bothced the order and canceled it. I went ang bought the Crucial Baliistix instead, made the decission from reading the articles from Insanetek. If you are going to go 2GB it is widely recommended that you do 2 sticks rather than 4 sticks of 512. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSF Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 tnx 4 the advice for using only 2 sticks, do you have some links about this, so I can read it for myself (i'm not doubting your advice, but I like te read something for myself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Hello, The Platinum EB PC4000 2x1GB 3-3-2-8 kit is a fine choice. Do not get this, It has Hynix chips. http://www.insanetek.com/review.php?id=49 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Hey Sharp, Aloha. Almost went and bought it, glad I saw the article first. Got this instead. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146578 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSF Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I think I won't go for the Platinum PC4000 series. In stead I would like to buy these: OCZ 2x1GB PC4000 EL Gold Dual Channel Kit Why? cheaper (30 euro's), available at my store (the Platinum version has pre-order status) and if I'm looking at benches the timings differences between these sticks don't have enormous inpact on performance. Is there any reason not to buy the Golden sticks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schaden Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Anyone know what chips these use or if they are any good ?

Sharp Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 SSSF, the ones in the below link will be ok. http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memo...al_channel-2gb_ Schaden, Infineon chips, might be the Infineon BE-5 chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
