always team group and crucial ram for me, corsair is just lke the sony of ram. Overchange for good stuff and give poor products for their mid and low range... damn

@sky

eh, secret la. Its not excellent ram la, but still testing, see whether can hit 1000Mhz with 4-4-4-12, if can, then its good But my objective is to maintain 1:1 ratio

@pws
no man.. its not. Never elpida.. lol. Common guys, lets not play the guessing game here, if i can do 1000 on 4-4-4-12 then ill announce what chip is it

hehe i should get those and try too, but my previous experience with elpida is no good bro.

no bro must be patient lor

yes as u tighten the timings u need to up the Vdimm.

normally u can try 4-4-4-12 straight off.. whats the ram ur using bro?

hmm u can try 4-4-4-10

TCL-Trcd-Trp-Tras, try to reduce your Trcd, Trp, and Tras as your Tcl cant go any lower than 4, since its not performance ram.

i use just OCCT. It is pure torture test for cpu and ram together hehehe. You pass that and u can run stable after that.

do u know whats the irony shawty, OCCT was recommended to me by empire2003 and acecombat as an OK solution for testing the proc and ram, And well what do u mean by 100% in a test? By the way for me, its a great solution coz having it run at orthos u would have to be there for days to see whther anything is wrong, running OCCT is an on-the-go 30/1 hour test and its easy to use as well.

You dont have to critizise my ideas, if u want to, be clear why OCCT is not a solution to testing, do not say its not a solution. without a reason.

Added on January 18, 2008, 7:13 amby the way, someone here want to take a challenge of equality where by you guys test orthos prime for 2 days and do a memtest for your ram versus OCCT for 1 hour.

(orthos prime(2 days) + memtest) vs OCCT for 1 hour

If OCCT can give u a go ahead within an hour meaning its stable, and orthos prime does the same for 2 days so does memtest, i can conclude that an hour test from OCCT is good enough than the long winded Orthos Prime and Memtest.

If it doesnt, then Shawty is right that OCCT is a no-no solution for full stress at 100%

Anyone game for this?

is this a necessary statement, dear shawty. Dont try to character assasinate me. Jump to the point, state it and move on. I am not game for this statement above.

i agree with shawty. I think the 2*1Gb ddr2 800 elte series is probably the one that oc's moderately well like the one i had. But coming to shawtys standard of OC, maybe the elite series is not his game at all. He likes the Crucial babies

@sky
well team xtreem is pretty neat and also the same old ballistix, but i aint too sure whether they use the same chipset as they did last year, in which it went up to 1300, right shawty? For value ram, eh, hmm maybe team value or anniversary(can we consider that value ram )

read this sentence. what am i saying here? does it look like i am saying that 2*2Gb are overclockers? neither did i say u dont like Team Elite. I know u dont care, but hey just corrected you.

@ace
how does the team value ddr2 667 OC, bro. I manage it to 1050Mhz but after that it goes unstable.. is it normal or just that the chipset isnt what i am looking for?

@sky
having to OC with two sticks is the way, you can oc with 4 sticks but always remember that when u r OCing, you are also pumping Vdimm, and from my experience(this is to prevent backfire), it just wont get as high as you want it, like 2 sticks. Stick with 2 sticks for maximum ocbility

hmm well, according to some, its not the same OCbility, 2*1GB has a better OCbility than 2*2Gb, reasons? i dont know..

supposedly same chipset, but might be different. who knows..

except for one that you mentioned before in page 79-80

OCZ SLi Ready Edition DDR2 PC6400 800MHz 4GB Kit [2X2GB]

that has a decent OC how about 266Mhz at cl5. but isnt it a 2GB*2 set? Hmm so i guess there are some exceptions to the rule aye.

also an example of a 2Gb*2 kit that has a powerchip on it.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=163668

so the assumption of not having any one of those chips on 2Gb sticks is highly doubtful.

Also note this page

http://www.modernopc.com/store/index.php?m...roducts_id=1122

from Modernos page and the specs given, its a 6 layered PCB

From what we know, 6 layered PCBs do have high clocks dont they, and most Team rams especially TEam Elite series carry 6-Layered PCBs, regardless whether 2Gb kits or 4Gb kits.

well if u dont intend to play at high speeds like 1200-1300, i still think you can get 2*2GB kits. Certain models do have awesome chips in them.

as long someone doesnt burn it and go rma lol.. try keeping it at 2.2 V if youre noob
