G.Skill F2-4200PHU2-1GBNT Review

Value and Conclusion

  • Two 512 MB modules of G.Skill F2-4200PHU2-1GBNT can be found for around $75, which is an absolute killer price.
  • Excellent bargain price
  • Overclocks far beyond advertised speeds
  • Timings can be tightened a lot
  • No heatspreaders (purely cosmetical issue)
  • Needs high voltage to perform best
What makes this memory stand out in the crowd is its awesome price which is pretty much the best price you can find for a brand-name DDR2 memory.
For this price you get a rock stable memory kit which offers a lot of overclocking headroom. Actually so much that I don't see a reason why you would want to buy more expensive memory. The difference between running upward dividers and 1:1 is about 2-3% depending on the application.
Being able to go from the advertised DDR2-4200 to DDR2-5800 is really impressive. Even if you are an overclocker and increase the CPU's FSB there's plenty of headroom, even at the 3:4 memory ratio.
