MikalCarbine257 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I need to hit 270-280, the higher the better, with a 2GB kit. I love OCZ and have had 2 kits in the past, but I don't know about getting their Gold kit, I've heard mixed things about them, some can't get them past the mid 250's. I was wondering about Ballistix, but the death rate of them is quite scary... is this due to lack of active cooling? How about the G.Skill 2BG HZ PC4000 kit? They are under 200 and I've seen them get almost all the way up to 300mhz. How is G.Skill customer support? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyoJoe Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I have had fantastic luck with the new gold kit. Of course everyones mileage will vary. the two kits you listed are probably your best bet of getting that high. They both use the same chips as well (ucc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikalCarbine257 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 My friend just ordered some Gold XTC, they all use UCCC right? I want to see how he does before I do make a decision, should be here tomorrow For the price, the G.Skill can't be beat, but I'm not too sure how they are as a company and their tech support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikalCarbine257 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 275 would be prime for me, I'd die to run 1:1 How old are those sticks? I want to see some first hand results from someone who has gotten theirs recently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, mine can only go 262. What was the lowest timing you can get away with at that speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crusader Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 If you really want to reach higher MHz try running at 2T (CPC disabled). When I experimented with that some time ago my ram, eventho it's a different brand, could go upto 293Mhz, I may experiment with it some more one of these days but have been running fine with settings in sig now for a while. There's also an interesting sticky about the real world performance differences between running at 1T/2T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddie Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Well, since my CPU can only go as fast as 2.62GHz, I have no reason to go any higher with the memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
