amarios Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I'm going to buy some new high-end/overclockable memory for my computer, and I wonder which kind I should buy? My requirements are eighter 300+ mhz ddr w/okay timings, or around 270mhz ddr w/tight timings... I've been thinking about these: Corsair XMS4400C25 TWINX DDR550 OCZ Gold Edition EL Voltage Xtreme DDR500 (Please give me other suggestions if you know about any other alternatives.) I'd would really like to hit 300mhz ddr, and run ram/fsb 1:1 I know that the Corsair will do that, but will it work on my motherboard? Saw quite a few people on this forum that had trouble with them, have that been fixed in newer bios revisions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathwish Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 The OZC memory is actually very good, I just bought the platinum revision 2 from newegg, pretty good deal... They arent bad for overclocking too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarios Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 How high were you able to push them? timings/mhz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Corsair likely would give problems on the DFI NF4. The VX is not likely to run 270 tight and is high voltage requirement memory. http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app/ViewP...-227-208&depa=0 Ocz PC4800 http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app/ViewP...-231-014&depa=0 Gskil PC4800 http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app/ViewP...-231-006&depa=0 Gskil PC4400 I know you cannOt buy from newegg but the specifications for the memory are at newegg and you NEED to read them closely before you look for similar that you can buy in your global region.

amarios Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 man those sticks looked nice, annoys me I cant get a hold on Gskill here...seems vx4000 is the best I can get in Norway for my DFI NF4. annoying that the corsair memory gives people trouble on this motherboard as the overclock very well on others. I saw an review on anandtech and they reached over 300mhz ddr at cas 2.5 (with the dfi nf4 mobo), guess they got lucky will there not be a bios fix to get those chips working properly on the dfi? edit: found those gskill sticks on a webshop here. which one would you have used of those two?

thejwt Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 i would go for g skill or crucial ballistix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarios Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I'm going to buy gskill think i'll go for the 4400 version as they clock about as good as the 4800. and I save a bit of money as well EDIT: I see now that there are two different versions of the pc4400: F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE (costs about 20$ more) F1-3200DSU2-1GBLF Guess I'll be going for the LE? High price most times mean high performance right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacific vortex Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 get the le's.....they rock...got 1 stick up to ddr 640...(unfortunately my other stick only does 630)so i can run them at a 315 fsb...memtest overnite stable.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
