Ha you obviously weren't around for the good old days.

How would me knowing whether or not the Corsair RAM was good in the "good old days" change the present? Corsair RAM is shit. There's nothing to it. (I think Doms are good though, not sure.)

Anything with a good set of D9's on it from crucial will clock. Freaksavior and myself have their old value ram that still does 2400mhz. They aren't bad you just have to know what to shop for and how to clock it.

Shop around and read some reviews. Ram doesn't have to be expensive I run some samsung based low pro's and samsung based wintec ONE's. All of the sets were purchased for under $60 a set for 2x4GB kits.

Next to impossible to find those CL 6 1.8v sticks anymore.

Might be possible to find some Elpida Hypers still.

 

[Durvelle27]

need to sell these first

anybody have an advanced copy of 3DMark 11

 

[Rangerjr1]

Recommend me some RAM

G.Skill and Samsung if you want to be on the safe side (Preferably binned to 2133-2400.)

Gonna do some 2D benchmarks to night on 3960X and 4770K but as I only got Win7 to play with I wonder if you guys know any tweaks?

for most 2d stuff you want to type msconfig in the run box (win key+r) and select diagnostic startup so windows is as bloat free as possible. then it depends upon the bench, some you are best to go into advance boot options and change the number of cores, or ammount of ram used. some say locking the pcie helps.

one thing i would say you should google is copy wazza. this can knock lots of time off some of the longer cpu intensive benches like superpi 32m or wprime.

1600 Cas 7 http://www.overclock.net/t/1401058/...ddr3-1600-w-cooling-fan-final-price-drop/0_20

If I could get money into my checking account right now, I'd swipe these up... Not as good as the cas6, but good for AMD systems either way.

Most good overclocking kits on the cheap will be 2x2gb or 3x2gb. The 3 stick kits are nice since you can bin the top two sticks for clocking.

And pm freaksavior on this forum I don't know if he still has them.

i cant wait for this 4770 to turn up so i can see how good these 2 sets i have here are.

i have a set of kinston lovo (hypers) which are 1600 cas 9 1.25v which i have had max out my sandy imc (@2200 mhz cas 9) and they didnt even break a sweat in the deneb (1880 ish cas8). my redlines (hynix h5t) i dont think will be as good (% wise) but i am hoping to hit 2400+ if i slacken them off some

Its at 1333MHz now. If i raise it even the slightest system won't boot

what timings/volts have you tried when you want to raise their speed?

 

[erocker]

only 6GB

For benching purposes it is enough.

true

Try 2133 10-11-11-27

 

[Durvelle27]

Try 2133 10-11-11-27

you sure

 

[Rangerjr1]

What do you mean?

 

[erocker]

1.65v 9-9-9-24

This is for 1333Mhz?

Try 2133 10-11-11-27

At what? 2 volts?!

i would go with some G.Skill 2133 and whichever series you like and will fit. Ares are good and low profile. I run Snipers and they're pretty flexible
