Im looking for a cheap RAM to overclock high,since my current RAM are unable to run at any divider above 250HTT exept 1:1. Looking for 1GB module (preferably single stick) Budget is around RM600

Anyone knows what RAM runs great with DFI mobo?

MM, the Promos should overclock decently well. I had them @ 272fsb (CPU Limitation) last time @ 3-4-4-8. They do well at 2.6v-2.8v. They don respond well to high voltages

Yes I know my RAM pretty well,but my RAM did respond well with voltage increase.Tops out at 275MHz but not very stable. I just need new RAM which allows me to use diffrent divider other than 1:1 because my CPU is capable of 2.5GHz (357HTT).

ur aiming for 1GB single stick rite? Probably, u could opt for the Corsair Value 1GB with UCCC as i supposed ur looking for high fsb with slack timings. Currently i'm testing the 2x1GBInfineon ECC CE5, Pretty good result. 258fsb@ 3-3-3-8 1T@2.65v

or my Infenion BE-6?? doing 332HTT at 3:2 devider...

Try to look for Infineon BE-5 or Samsung UCCC. They're available on value RAMs such as Apacer and Kingston.

If I could recall.... some Apacer value use BrainPower pcb which is even better.

but my infineon can't go more than 240 in 1:1
how to do more 250fsb?

true true...better grab for apacer.it's using bp pcb.

Yo, kucing ... The ECC rams you're using, do they perform as good as non-ECC rams? Someone told me that ECC rams are a bit slower

ECC ram's may run little bit slower than non ECC.

err..ziit ECC ram just for server pc? can use it with normal board?

Well, they gave about the same score in Sandra's mem. So i believed ECC doesn't affect the speed. Anyhow, yeah ECC will work in 'most' motherboards.

well, i believed he's looking for 1:1 speed.

Anyways, i assumed the Apacer/Kingston UCCC is hard to find. Most of them are on Kingston Chips or D43. The best bet would be Corsair Value.

Okay, cool I might look for some ECC enabled rams, the error correction feature sure would come in handy in my folding rig

Oooo ... But I have Apacer rams with UCCC and Brainpower PCB, was thinking or selling. Should I sell or keep it?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think even though ECC ram is plugged in, the feature would be 'disabled' as there's no ECC support unlike those chipset designed for server.

LOL, i meant 1GB stick of UCCC. btw, mmm..any chance the apacer u had were previously mine?

Aiyo ... So ram got ECC also cannot use

Nope, the UCCC I have were not yours

BE-5 on BrainPower pcb?

UCCC lah better

Looking for UCCC and BE-5 is hard on value RAM. How to identify it over other barnd IC? Any pic would help

There is UCCC on Corsair Value 1GB.I'm sure of that.

Apacer/Kingston uses apacer/kingston chips or hynix d43s

1GB modules of UCCC would do you good upto 280Mhz with very relaxed timings of 3-4-4-8.

probably not the ones on value ram.

if there is much diff when overclocking with 1 Gb and 512 mb module?

if want really cheap, i've migrated over from the 512mb of hyper-x to 1gb of kvr using mosel vitalic chips. running divider @ 333mhz for 400mhz ram

current settings are at:

divider - 166mhz
fsb - 278
multiplier - 9
ldt/fsb - 3x
agp - 67mhz

edit: memory timings @ 3-4-4-8

does corsair has value select 2x512MB using UCCC chips? thanks.
how much is it anyway?

Nope, UCCCs are only on the 1gb modules ..else they will b snapped instantly by now

get 1 pair of sec hand twinmos speed premium la...3.5@260mhz 222!

not....more CVS 512MB DDR400 r using UTT chip juz now...(BP PCB)

UCCC juz posible at 1GB stick as i know....

UCCC are just like hynix chip w/ looser timing + higher (a tad) oc'bility IMO. if ur not usin dfi board + lookin for 2*512MD, y not try hynix ram?

There are UCCC 512MB (single sided) on Kingston.

i was referring to the queries on the Corsairs in particular

There are two grades of UCCC? Mine's a Mushkin module and good upto 280Mhz.
