Anyone of you out there using the DDR2 667Mhz or 800MHz care to share some feedback on the performance of the Patriot Memory? I know it is quite popular in Singapore now so I am just wondering how it is over here so far.

Patriot Memory

I am also looking for volunteers who are willing to test and evaluate this memory if samples are loaned out to you.

Thanks for your replies in advance.

You can also send me PM for more info.

Thanks.

nyummy nuyumm...so who's on the list...???

Those interested, please PM me your name and contact number and I will get back to you on the details of the loan items for evaluation and testing.

This actually will eventually apply for some other products besides memory as well, like graphics cards, motherboards, etc.

Basically, I am looking for you experts out there to evaluate products and give me your feedback.



By the way, as I am in KL, so those further away from KL ...... ummm still can but we got to think how we can meet up.

Hi i from Singapore.

Over here Patriot Memory is very popular due to lower pricing and Lifetime warranty from Convergent Systems.

the DDR2 667 is going at $149 like that in SG dollars at Sim Lim Square which is like Lowyat but with no pirated shops one haha.///

Comes with gray heatspreader and does 840Mhz-920Mhz with no sweat.

C'mmon Intel ppl...dun let me play alone wut'cha...DDR2 woooo..Our AMD frenz are left drooling...hihihihi...

805 people..this is your chance to push more and more...

Hmmmm, patriot, never heard of it, seriously.

Maybe except a passing mention in dinster's bulks.

If you need reviewers, i don't think we're short of any, there are tons of people here that fit the bill of Hardcore ocer.

I bought 2GB DDR2-800... Good timing. Good price. Not using it yet. Still deciding what CPU to buy.

Where did you purchase these from? What price?

Please let us know how they perform.

Cheap Cheap. A little over 1K .... For 2GB... Still deciding which platform to get. Performance... Should be standard la... Since the memory chip... PCB all come from those few manufacturer only.

i wonder why m'sia has no market for pdp. i'm a pdp user but DDR1 not DDR2. hehe... so far so good

din had Patriot in his bulks

Invites are going out now for testers.

We have DDR400, DDR2 533, DDR2 667 and DDR2 800 for PCs available for tests.

Our office is in KL so if you are, you'll need to come over and we arrange the loan to you.

Let me know. Thanks.

ps. We have limited units for testing and so it will be subject to availability or turns.

Come join the fun guys...

DDR & DDR 2 people...

I wonder how would it perform with other competing brands???

i'll be glad to to be DDR tester..
however, being limited to nforce3 platform [msi neo2 n epox 9nda3] i doubt i can be much of a help ;__;

probably can help in tweaking the ram to the fullest for decent/average-joe low-end setup

Im patriot user and using DDR1, bought the ram from Din's bulk. So far the ram perform unflawless.

Will find myself a pair of Patriot memory soon...

i've tried a pair of patriot DDR2-800 (1GB each, blue heatisnk) (default 555-15@1.8v)

managed to OCed to DDR2-800@444-12@2.1v stable.

hrmm.... if you are interested, i guess you can join us in OC Demo II or OC Lanparty. it might be this coming thursday or sunday. location will be finalised soon. i guess the participants will be glad to test it out for you. and the tester will be pick randomly or even tested by different forummers who are coming for the event. or for full transparency, you can pick the tester yourself or you can send a representative. it will be much more better. btw, i'm trying to get Team to send some samples too. initially they are very interested and there are high chances they will eventually participant actively. PM me if you are interested and i'll help you out.

Someone can bring the most expensive Patriot memory to test. Huhu.

i bought Patriot memory before ddr2 800 2x1gb from lyp
not quite ocable

I also plan to get 1gb x 2 ddr2-667 tomorrow. The one that come with heatspreader. I am not thinking of going DDR2-1000 though but hoping could go DDR2-800++.

Patriots DDR2 uses Powerchip..
they are stable but not clockable

why dont try out Team DDR2 667 1GBs?
tried alot can do 800mhz easily

The one that u bought came with blue heatspreader or not?

most of the patriot rams are with heatspreader 1

What a surprise I get myself DDR2-1000/PC2-8000. Way to go patriot value. Here's the result:

LOL , nice 1 , I do bought 2 pairs , with RM440 , damn cheap , heatspreader do have, but not many friends will go for it cos they accuse "Never heared this brand b4, can or not 1 ? macam pirated RAM, tak mau lar , I rather go Kingston or Corsair"

So far haven't oc yet ... since u so out the result then I am very happy I do make the right decision ...

I havent tried higher FSB than 333 coz bottlenecks on air cooling. My proc required quite high voltage on my mobo.

Haha Corsair RAM is the *best* ma....=)

Anyways, I don't mind being a tester, however, I suck with timing RAM. I'm more better at GC and Procs.

As for my PC specs, it's at my siggie.

I live in Bangsar, hopefully, it's near enough to KL for you.

Maybe the best value RAM that very overclockable around is from TEAM...

2 pairs for RM440? so, 1 pair is RM220. so cheap? where did u buy them from? according to your siggy, DDR2 667 with heatsink 1GB x 4. come with heatspreder? can oc to DDR800?

This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Jul 22 2007, 10:21 AM

Where you buy the patriot ram?

2 pair for rm 440?
2 pair = 4gb?
2 x 2gb or 4 x 1 gb?


swt!

I bought some of that cheap Patriot RAMs as well; 4x1GB DDR2-800s with blue heatspreaders. I don't remember the exact price (as I bought a whole bunch of stuff at the same time), but it was a good deal cheaper than everything else. Unfortunately, not very OC-able, maxed out around 810 or so at stock voltage. But it was cheap and meant for my HTPC which is not going to be overclocked anyway (to keep temps and fan noise to a minimum).

well,i do it free review for u guys la,the blue heat spreader DDR2 800mhz 2x1GB,after cabut the heat spreader all the chip is relabelled one,but from the code of the chip i can see that it's Crappy Micron chip.

here the oc result,torture with my Dark,not yet with my Asus,

2.45vdimm only i can get it stable to boot into windows with 1000mhz,not yet prime,man,it's sucks a big time.

Attached thumbnail(s)

lol.. its suppose to be value line RAMs, what more do u expect from it?

fyi, Patriot uses Promos and power chip at their value ram series only

eh, can any1 tell wat chipset their ram using?

OMG... its just the post above yours

i got a pair of ptariot value rams w/o heatspreaders...its hynix fpy5 rev c chips leh...got rev b summore

mine tested pairs is using relabelled chipset,and google liao,no result,hehe....but my friend said that it's Micron chipset.

dont know la,conclusion,it cant be overclocked so well...

erm...wanna ask here...how much is the 1gb patriot ddr800 (one w/ blue heatspreader) nowadays eh?

back then,saw the price around rm280(1gb)

PC Zone is selling it. Check HERE

i bought at pc fair penang RM165 per pcs

patriot value rams with hynix fpy-5 rev c...@ 2.0v



lazy to prime longer coz my casing has 0% airflow so ...yea, might burn it too soon...getting an cooler for the rams this weekend and lets see if these babies can fly at 1333mhz

This post has been edited by bryanyeo87: Aug 24 2007, 08:13 PM

Its not 1333, 532x2=1064~1066. Have u try stability using memtest? Betweeen the cpu only run @ 2.4GHz..

I said, i will be getting some ram coolers this weekend(last saturday) and try to push it to 1333mhz

i dont use memtest, i use orthos, mainly because its tedious to boot.

the cpu is low speed because im trying to find the rams max speed

I dont know why but it seems the stability is not same with cpu/mem, 2.4GHz/1GHz and 3.5GHz/1GHz. The voltage tweaking is needed. At least this applies to my system.

damn...i bought mine for RM285 on May
eh,that time ram price is still exp..rite now,even crucial tenth anniversary is less than Rm500

btw, here some thread in vrzone for ddr800 w/ blue heatspreader..

my patriot 667memories

No Patriot High Performance user here? Post some oc screenie plz...

http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/02/21/ove...its/page10.html

i think this show the value of patriot ram

Is there a lot on market value patriot with no heatspreader? I thought all valu patriot comes with heatspreader which equipped with no good chipset.

meaning?

I forgot what chip lies on the heatspreder but oc to 1GHz need up to 2.2v at 5-6-6-18.

I bought my 1GB Patriot DDR2-800 with heat spreader @RM165 bout 2 weeks ago in BJ complex. So Far have pushed it past 900Mhz but the shop guy claims it can go up till 1Ghz . Haven't done much RAM benchmarking but my AM2 4000+ rig is stable@2800 right now. Good price for performance i can say bout this RAM.

chris, your ram is with blue heat spreader rite?

i did some experimenting with the heatspreader and and sinks for rams,

Heatspreader = no difference, well if u consider 4mhz ddr2 as difference then by all means

CM little chipset sinks = no difference.

so my conslusion is, heatspreaders are junk with the exception of extremely high priced aftermarket spreaders

further more, value rams w/o sinks are better due to the fact that you can choose the chipset and get a matching pair for batch code

this is from what i concluded and tested

Yup its with the blue heat spreader..

Try to push to 1GHz with 5-6-6-18 timing. It should be ok. Nowadays it seems that AMD X2 can reach easily to 3GHz.

it is hard to get a patriot ram..
only pczone selling it and the stock is not always available
does anyone know where to find it in kl area??

bought mine at ALL IT petaling jaya, and iianm, they still have it at their KL HQ

Dont forget the LYP neighbor, IMBI plaza. They might have something that LYP dont have.

i bought 4 pieces of mine from mypc. they should have stocks.. last i saw was couple of weeks ago

LYN effect strikes again... just been to LYP yesterday, and everyone is out of Patriot everyone is out of rectangular copper ramsinks as well.

nvr been imbi plaza b4 , have go there take a look , patroit ram

i own 2x1gb patroit value ram ddr667..its w/o heatspreader..if not mistaken the chip is patroit also how good this ram can go?

patroit chip ? i dont thinks is good , as i know those manufacturer erase those lousier chip name and replace manufacturer name on chip .
