Metalex Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Can anyone recommend any of these 2GB kits? I want to order in the next couple of days, but just can't decide. Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 - £158.57 G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit - £146.82 OR G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit - £152.69 As you can see, I'm torn between two G.Skill options. Should I go for low timings and use a divider, or settle for high clocks with slacker timings? Tough one, because I can't find any agreement on forums as to which is the best option. I was going to get Crucial Ballistix, but that's had major problems. I was thinking about the OCZ EB Platinum, but nowhere seems to have it in stock and it's quite pricey anyway. Any other options out there? SORRY, I should've put this in Recommendations and Hot Deals section. Can a mod/admin move it please?

Guest FZ1 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I'd go with the HZ GSkills. People are hitting 260-270 easy and some up to 300. There are a few threads on this RAM in the OC section. Rock on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EladEflow Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I had problems with the G.skill going above 250 even after trying everyone's settings I could find on the internet. So I returned them to NewEgg and bought the OCZ Gold kit in my sig and am having great luck with them. 3-4-3-8 timings, 270 @ 2.8. Haven't tried for lower volts with the RAM at this speed but it would probably do it and I haven't tried pushing it any higher because my CPU gets a little toasty at anything but stock volts. (Bad HS mounting on my part, but I'll have an SI-120 tomorrow so I'm holding out for that.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycer Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Mushkin XP4000 3-4-3-8 1T runs very nicely in my rig at 2.65v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd520 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 After MUCH reading I went with the G.Skill BHZ's myself. Just got them today but the other half of my order isnt here yet. I myself will be OC'ing and they seemed like the best bang for the buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
