ilovecables Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Hi, choose the 2GB kit for do graphics work but since my last project didn't even hit 1Gb in the task manager I am thinking a faster 1Gb kit and a good OC is the way to go. This kit will only do about 2.5-3-3-6-1T@209Mhz or 2-3-2-5-1T@200Mhz. my vender has very kindly agreed to swap the kit for me so with a bit of cash to spend what do I go for? OCZ- pc5000 g-skill 4400 LE OCZ PC4800 Platinum (or even fork out extra and go 2Gb DDR PC3200 OCZ EL Platinum Dual Channel kit) any advice or experiences would be great thanks, must choose today!

grimpy Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 ive got the dual channel kit can only overclock it to 215 tho 2.5 3 2 5 its nice and stable tho at that speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecables Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 thanks for that doesn't look a huge improvement on what I have got. I think for the majority of my projects I will be wasting the 2Gb so think a faster 1Gb pair would be better overall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iky10 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 i would say go for Gskill 4400LE, it is jus brilliant, i will pass memetests no prob...then the otha part lies on the cpu, if u get gskill u wont be disapointed... and also it take less volts so u wont hav issues with heat...

ilovecables Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 tested the CPU with a low RAM divider and got it up to 255x11=2.805Ghz last night with temps CPU 39 PWMIC 51 CHIPSET 39 during OCCT 30min test stable. so now need some matching RAM.

vega27 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 personally, i don't know much about that new OCZ pc5000 so i'd say you can't go wrong with either the OCZ pc4800 or the g.skill pc4400. both of these use speed-binned TCCD chips, i believe, so they're basically the same anyway. get whatever's less expensive and you'll be happy either way.

ilovecables Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 just ordered the g.skill 4400 LE, thanks for all the help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega27 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 i've been looking around for awhile now for anyone who's tried to OC those patriot 1GB sticks of yours. those timings looked so darn promising, didn't they? so i gotta thank you for posting that info about em. too bad they didn't work out. good luck with that g.skill! and here's to hoping DDR1 will eventually produce some solid OC-able 1GB sticks.

ilovecables Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 I agree they did look tempting, did find this article which got the OCZ 2Gb up to 460MHz... happy with my choice tho! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwackme Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Yeah, those 1GB sticks will allow 1T operation with two sticks for 2GB, while 4x512M wont. Somthing to poner for the future. I'd personaly stick with OCZ VX and run them 250Mhz @tight...1T for 2x512M 2T for 4x512M. 250Mhz x11 is plenty fast, and the bandwidth for 250Mhz @tight equals around 305-310Mhz on TCCD's at x9 multi. So you need to get the TCCD's to crank before they can equal the UTT/VX chips at lower Mhz. Plus 1G = $104, 2G = $208 which dwarfs the cost of good TCCD.
