Not all Micron D9 chipset is a good overclocker.
Only three model that is confirmed to be a good overclocker. That is, D9GCT, D9GMH & D9GKX.

Nowadays?
You can only wish.

As most valueram that comes with those three chipset i state up there is nomore.
You can only get 2nd hand ram in the garage sales section.

Why in the world do you want Hynix FP-S5?

I knew that lol.
But then, it's really hard to find the good revision of FP-S5.
IINM, the good revision of FP-S5 is revision B, correct?

Which FP-S5 revision B is really hard to find.

Instead of pushing yourself to get a hard to find FP-S5 Revision B, why don't you just go and find D9GMH?

EDIT: I forgot to tell one thing, FP-S5 Revision A is a big sucker in overclocking.
Been there, done that.

* I can only post about this after nakata101 has finished selling those ram that he sell that uses FP-S5 Revision A chipsets. Don't want to ruin his sales, that's why i never tell anyone about this

You bought it when you're in US or you ordered it from here?

Owh, no wonder la.

That's only applicable to Crucial Ballistix Tracer.
Other Crucial Ballistix & Crucial Tenth Annivessary is a lot cooler than Crucial Ballistix Tracer

Which mobo is that?

Any rams from the lines of Team Elite & Team Extreem Dark uses ProMOS chipset.
No matter what speed and what sizes.

What's your point showing me that link?
I know about DDR2 Ram List long enough.

You can't depend on that list anymore, it's not reliable enough nowadays since it is not updated for a very long time.

In terms of overclockability, they can overclock up to 1100MHz, however, they are weak in terms of latency and timings.


Yes, what kucingfight say is true, those ProMOS chipset do performs better than FP-Y5, but don't expect it to perform at the same level as D9GMH & D9GKX.

That depends on what kind of chipset is used on the ram itself.

No team valueram uses Micron chips nowadays.
It have been replaced with other chipsets.

From my test of a new unit 1GB Team Valueram which is from the newest batch, and what i can say is that it's not really overclockable.

If you're lucky, you might get those old batches that uses ProMOS chipset which is considered as overclockable, but still can't fight with any Micron D9GMH / D9GKX / D9GCT chips.

Whose that?

Any seller that you found saying that Team Valueram DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz 1GB uses Micron chipsets is a big liar.
Show us who's that guy and more preferable with link.

Liar.
Me and soulfly already told him not to confuse people about the ram that he's selling uses Micron D9DCN.

Snyy, the earlier batch overclocks well, as in the earlier batch Team Valueram DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz uses ProMOS chipset.
But the latest batch no longer uses ProMOS chipset.
I bought two stick for my own use directly from my supplier, tested, and it doesn't overclock well enough.

Dude, if you really want to overclock your ram, perhaps you should dig deeper in your pocket and get the rams that is built for overclocking.

Example:
Team Xtreem Dark or Team Xtreem [Any speed]
Crucial 10th Annivessary DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz 1GB
Crucial Ballistix or Crucial Ballistix Tracer [Any speed]

And some other specific model from some other brand.

ProMOS has the capability to reach high speed of 1000MHz at a very very high timings which is bad.

While Micron D9GCT/D9GMH/D9GKX, it has the capability of reaching high speed but on very low timings which is why they were voted as the best 3 chipset for DDR2.

And also, tell zhen^whei about this, who told him that Micron D9DCN has the capability of reaching 1000MHz?
Micron D9DCN is a really really bad overclocker.
No overclocker uses Micron D9DCN for their system.

He's using Corsair XMS2, and yours is Kingston Valuerams.
What's there to cry about?

Both of them is the same.
Corsair XMS2 Twinx is nothing but a Corsair Valueram with heatspreader.

Honestly, there's nothing to cry about.

Higher prices doesn't mean it's better than the others.

That's because Corsair love to suck people's blood.

Do you see any extreme overclocker uses Corsair rams for their system?

v1rtual, what's the model of your motherboard?

Not true.
Other brands can do a lot better than Corsair.

Should be the same.
The PC2-8500 is flashed to PC2-8500 because most motherboard nowadays has the native support for DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz.
