Best I could think of would be the OCZ 4200 - but I was going to go to 266FSB at least. Anybody had success with anything over 500mhz?

Geil PC4300 works like a charm. I can get up to 280 1:1 Stable FSB with 2.5-4-4-5 timings.

What voltages were you guys using?

This has what to do with phase change?

I thought this would be the best place to post this question. How many other places on this board are people running 300Mhz FSB's at 1:1's?

Well moderators are posting replies on it, so I must not be that far off.

Back to as on-topic as this thread can get, I was thinking Geil 4300 would be about as best I could get right now in timings and overall speed. Anyone find anything better?

How about a Phase change chilly plates for memory, think this could help???

that would be cool,


any one figured out water cooling plates for ram sticks? i could use some of those heh :p:

Id have to say OCZ PC4200 EL

Fugger was able to run his at 600fsb :)

Corsair are bringing out some PC4400 (550MHz DDR )

Quote from http://www.dvhardware.net/article2209.html

"XMS4400 modules are tested at 550MHz with 3-4-4-8 latency settings at 2.75V. All XMS4400 modules are tested in an Asus P4C800-E dual channel DDR motherboard based on the Intel 875P "Canterwood" chipset."

Sounds good, but how is it in practice ;)

I just may wait for those - Corsair has been very good to me thus far.

Saw someong watercooling a stick probably 2 years ago?? Some fourm

I think nobody's done any extensive memory cooling because it hasn't been an issue for too terribly long. I would say the first place you see it is here on xtremesystems. :banana:

It's certainly not a crazy FSB (on A64 or P4), but my Corsair does 266mhz 2-2-2-11 (3.5v).

I thought someone here (macci?) froze their ram and it still didnt perform any better. I heard that somewhere.

Hmm . . . you would think it would - of course what do I know? :)

Cooling ram beyond throwing a 80mm on top is worthless. Most system DDR doesn't even get very hot...heatspreaders are a waste, and this was tried extensively a couple years ago to no avail

I was unaware that heatspreaders are a waste - it's always a plus to debunk marketing ploys. Thanks for the info.

Anyone know the Corsair ETA on 4400? I was thinking the OCZ is the stuff to go with - doesn't it do CAS 2.5?
