Thank you for the explanation sifus.

@ 2.1 - 2.2 vDimm.. how crucial is active cooling? say that i plan to leave the PC on for quite a long time.

Normally RAM dont come with active cooling.. RAM sinks are passive cooling too. About 800Mhz 2.0v.. this guy here

using Hynix 533 o'c @800Mhz only use 2.0v with preety good timing.

I've seen someone's sig with a Mushkin DDR2 533 overclocked to DDR 900 if not mistaken at 4-4-4-12.
Couldn't recall his ID though.

it can eat high voltage oso.. but depand on their chip...
mushkin isn't in VR rite??

I finally saw the sig again.
It belongs to a forumer "mruzian"
He's doing DDR900, 4-4-4-12 on 2.1v on his mushkin DDR2 533.
I wonder is the mushkin that he's using the mushkin that Viewnet is selling for RM190 per stick for 512mb.

Basically kingston will use the most easily available affordable chip and market it under their brand (I think they also buy PCBs, but I'm not sure). Fortunately they don't do any relabeling on the chips, so the is a chance you might find a good chipset when you're looking in shops.

Corsair on the other hand, although they do the same thing they completely relabel their chips. There is NO way to find out if the VS you get is good or bad at OC-you can only guess by OCing it and noting the pattern of voltage/speed combinations you get. However IMHO generally Corsair uses slightly better chips than Kingston.

Summary
Kingston-do your research, and search shop after shop for the chipset(s) you're looking for and you might get some cool OC rams for budget price. Prepare for a LOT of searching.
Corsair-cross your fingers and just buy. This is ram lottery. Hopefully you get a good one.

im using the same ram as yours. but i have difficulties ramping it up to 800MHz.

whats ur settings? (voltage, timings)

and whats ur ram IC? mine is XMS5402v8.1 PROMOS chip (from the RAMGUY)

well here is mine........
im still in the course of pushing it more....
burn n test,burn and test......

hopefully this is good. voltage is at 2.0v

Attached thumbnail(s)

wondering value ran oc from 667@800 no need to stick extra heatsink on the chip? wont overheat?

nope...shud not be a problem with heat..
its due to ddr2 voltage spec.low voltage compare to DDR.
but still depend on the voltage use for oc.

Is ur ram is Corsair Value Select? Mine only can perform 800mhz @ 5-5-5-15

Last time my corsair value select can do 815Mhz at 4-4-4-12 at vdimm 2.2 if not mistaken


-pWs-

mushkin 667

i am using CVS DDR667...
how to know is a good chipset or bad chipset..??

Take a look on the chipset itself.
Then state here every single word you can find on the chipset.

thats shhhhhwwweettt!~

i`m using cvs too. any chances of o/c this ram?
another q. most of cvs using what cip aa? is it very rare to find micron on cvs?

well to see the result u have to try oc it first..

my corsair chipset there got this number :
64M8CFEG
PS0900707
XAA236-F93G

how to set the timing/...??

Added on April 2, 2007, 4:08 pmanybody wat chipset of my corsair VS ???

at chipset got this number

64M8CFEG
PS0900707
XAA236-F93G

Not sure what chipset is that.
Perhaps if you could take some pictures, it'll help better in explaining what chipset is that.

It maybe a "chapalang" chipset.
Or it maybe a Micron D9 chipset relabeled.

I suggest you to take a closer picture on that chipset, take a very clear picture on that chipset.
