Best 2x1gig kit atm? (Not ballistix...)

[OgreX]

just got an email from newegg saying they gave me a refund on my ballistix rma because they were out of stock Right when they got it.. seems I got lucky for a change.

had no luck with ballistix whatsoever.. couldn't o/c past 250mhz no matter what settings.. died in a few weeks at 250mhz(even at lowest voltage) with a 92mm fan blowing on them the whole time I had them.

So.. as the title says I'm currently trying to find a kit that o/cs pretty well and won't die every couple weeks and have to rma a million times...

Any suggestions appreciated.

same question here - better to get pc4000 @ 3-4-4-8 (2x1gb) or pc3200 @ 2-3-3-6 (2x1gb) ????

looking at the g.skill range at the moment.

[sin0822]

id pick the pc4000 3,4,4,8

[zub]

i see....ummm..mistake on previous post i meant pc3200 @ 2-3-2-5 still same verdict? however it is slighlty more expensive than the G.skill pc4000 givng the impression the g.skill pc3200 is better???

[zub]

huh? was thread moved??? or is it just me?

[sin0822]

yeah ti was moved, i would pic the pc3200 then

Thanks for the linkage. those things are lookin' pretty sweet. and getting $100 back from a rma will also be sweet...(newegg owns.)

Actually if I were you.. I would use the extra $100 and upgrade the cooling of your system..
Or save it for the upcoming OCZ phase cooler

Best 2GB kit? No price restriction? Mushkin PC4000 Redline.

I will keep saying that tight timmings is better then crappy 3-4-4 timmings @ any speed.

The pc3200 G.skill ram overclocks quiet nice also and has the timmings

[zub]

dammit! now what pc4000 3-4-4-8 or pc3200 2-3-2-5 ?

[CandymanCan]

Its up to you i mean iv seen the G.skill with the bad timmings run @ 3-3-3 ect. If you want to run @ really high speeds in sync then go for the pc4000, if you want higher benchmark scores and slightly higher fps go for the pc3200

dammit! now what pc4000 3-4-4-8 or pc3200 2-3-2-5 ?
well.. I went with the pc4000.
Haven't had much luck at all overclocking it.. guess I can live with the same performance my crappy ballistix were giving for $100 less tho...

stock 250mhz 3 4 4 8 2.5v..

ok, just say you set the g.skill pc4000 at ddr400 speed, what kind of timings can you acieve? are they close to the pc3200 @ 2-3-2-5?

likewise if you upped the speed of the g.skill pc3200 to about 480MHz how loose do the timings have to be???

*edit2* couldn't even get 240 stable at 3 3 3 x.. so I gave up sorry.. I think you get the idea though..
I'd still say read some of the reviews on newegg before jumping right into the 3200's.. not everyone is keeping those tight timings w/ the oc..

thanks mate appreciate it

EDIT: thats with the pc4000 right?
