this is at 2.96-7v 2-5-3-2

all 4 sticks with the second rows 40245 clocks the same, not bad for a PC2700 memory stick i think! :D :cool:
think that this series of V-Data PC2700 can do all o/c like this (on Intel plataform)

ah, without any heatsink, like all cheap memory stick

[DoGMaN]

Damn nice OC! Thats really impressive for PC2700!!!

[Jupiler]

[Bushboy]

Says Cas 1.5 in the sandra benchie...

no superpi at that speed tho? coincidence? not stable?

[PiLsY]

Galifrey - its an 845PE/GE chipset bug in sandra. Cas 2 reported as 1.5, cas 2.5 reported as cas 3 and cas 1.5 reported as cas 2.

Dirty punk - do you have a stick of corsair 3200 or 3500 by any chance? If so take the heatspreaders off and compare it to your A/V-data sticks. You can see the "custom designed and in-house made" corsair PCB in all its glory then. On the A/V-Data chips as well. Theyre IDENTICAL. The only difference is the Corsair PCB is silkscreened with component numbers.

2 explanations I can think of. Either A/V-data ram is corsair selling off the stuff that failed its test ratings to be XMS, or theyre bull§§§§ting again and they just use cheap, generic, reference design PCBs. The PCBs on both are stamped with an "RU" company logo. Corsair is looking to be more and more of a rip off to me.

yes very impressive, but let me say a thng.. your is one very lucky stick, improbably you can get another one...
the V-Data i'd tryed with this chips
V-Data
40245
VDD8608A8A-6B
can do all the same overclock, so or i have a great luck (i'd tryed 4 stick, all 4 so good?!), or all stick with this code can do the same...

soon i'll try to get another pack of memory branded V-Data and hope to get them
V-Data
40245
VDD8608A8A-6B
so i can confirm or not the quality of this stick ;)

as i know only www.bow.it in italy has A.Data PC2700, but i don't know what version they have.. i see 3 version of A/V.Data PC2700

one is the impressiv overclockers
the second with 20250 in the second line can't do 200mhz at 3v 2.5-7-3-3 :( :rolleyes:
the thirs has totally different chips & layout and isn't so good, but can do 200mhz at 2.7v 2.5-7-3-3, so not so good...

so isn't so easy to have a good stick, the only thing is to see before buy or know the code on the chip before buy.. :rolleyes:

[Milka]

Would you like to sell some of good chips?

[Rudzer]

Yeah m8 interested in sell one of those ;) ?

[ExtremeAMD]

/me would be interested in a stick too.


BTW - I don't think there is ever a chance of me getting another lucky PC2100 like this again, heh.

[LutaWicasa]

Geez people.........come on......we all know there is to be no buying/selling outside of the Classifieds. Ya wanna have that bit of conversation, take it to PM, email, IM, carrier pigeon, whatever:rolleyes:

[Dirty_Punk]

i'm not here for selling this mem but only to make you know that this memory exist and try to find it!!!

i can't sell it because i have no more tha 4 banks and it's all occupied :p

[GVCryan]

I found some here for around $85US+shipping from Europe:eek:

link (http://www.shop4memory.com/memory/a-data-ddr-ram-memory.asp#256-2700)

You can contact them on AIM as Shop4memory, you could ask if they have that stepping.

[Rudzer]

I will NEVER order something from outside EUROPE again...already had my share of "fun" with the customs creeps :(

thanks anyway :)

[weblife]

Can anyone try this ram on an AMD system?

And is there any reason to assume that the ram would act differently there?

I am specifically thinking on this rams performance in one of the new N2 boards. Like 8RDA+ or A7N8X Deluxe.

Looks like they're based in Ireland, so no additional taxes for products shipped within Europe.

[Rudzer]

cheers

[Rudzer]

Thier prices suck = to Portugal prices = :(

ahh well cheers
