Sorry , Noob question.

I'm looking for a TCCD 1GB Kit to do benchmarks sometime after CNY. Are there any particular Brand / Revisions to lookout for , those which perform better or worse ?

Thanks in advanced

RM1.4K . Much cheaper to get a D43 / D5 which can do around 275+/- at slighty looser timings isn't it ?.

Anyway I was refering to 512x2 1GB Kits for TCCD . Which Brands/Revisions are the best ?

Alright , seriously considering the Team Xtreme TCCD's due to budget constraints. Thanks guys ~! .

I recently got a pair of Team Xtreem TCCD's DDR550's.

Initially I had some trouble hitting the rated timings of 2.5-4-3-7 @ 275mhz with 2.7v - 2.93v. After testing numerous Bioses and settings. I finally tried using 2.63v with the RAM and they are amazing. However, I have noticed something of a problem with them also.

I have managed to hit DDR600 running 1:1 with 2.63v at the following timings. Results tested to pass SuperPi 32M and also 2 hours loop of 3Dmark2001 Test 3 "Lobby".

2.5-4-4-8
2.5-4-3-7
2.5-4-3-5

I have been running active cooling all the while using a single 8cm case fan directly above the pair of RAM. The problem is , whenever I remove the active cooling and let it cool passively , the RAM's will not pass even 2 iterations of Pi 32M and stability issues will occur. I find it hard to believe that @ 2.64v there is a MUST for active cooling for this pair of TCCD's.

Can anyone out there give me some feedback regarding this ? Overheating under such low voltages is a first for me.

BTW , my setup is something like this :

AMD Opteron 144 @ 1.5v
DFI Lanparty SLi-DR (Bios 702-3)
remaining is on my signature.


Any feedback to this issue will be greatly appreciated.
