HELP needed selecting memory - possibles list included.

[Mumid]

Hi everyone,

Need to get another 2x1gb sticks to go with ram in signature, ballistix 16fd5 that is using micron d9gmh. I am running my set at 600mhz, 5-5-5-15 PL8 at 2.2v.

Which rams out of the following would be my best bet to try and pair with my current ram?

2Gb CellShock DDR2 PC2-8000 1000MHz (4-4-4-12) Dual Channel kit

OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK) Dual Channel SLI

Which one of those would best suit me? Or does anyone else have any better recommendations?

p.s i cant use any sticks like ocz reapers that are too tall as i want to keep using my dominator fan

Thanks in advance for any help guys, cheers

cellshox is d9gkx needs 2.3v for 1200 what voltage you using for yours

2Gb CellShock DDR2 PC2-8000 1000MHz (4-4-4-12) Dual Channel kit
I would go with this one.

@zsamz_ He mentioned 2.2V for 600MHz CL5.:)

personally id get 2 sets of 2Gb CellShock DDR2 PC2-8000 1000MHz (4-4-4-12) Dual Channel kit
n keep the other as a backup
its a tossup what to get cause his set might do 1200@2.0-2.1v and no good runnin 2.2+ in those fore 24/7

Ok just ordered some cellshocks, will update this thread with results when I get them. Thanks for the help fellas

[Mumid]

Ok sticks arrived this morning. Plugged them straight into my setup alongside my ballistix and board booted first time no probs with ram set to 600mhz 5-5-5-15 PL8 2.2v. Quick test before work using memtest in windows passed fine.

Absolute quality, these cellshock rock!

Thanks for helping my choose the right memory guys.

Yes, Cell-Shock makes good ram, they have 8-layer pcb so they respond good to high voltage and chance of them degrading is rather small.:up:

Nice choice Mumid, see my question in the P5Q thread :up: I just got stability out of my TeamGroup 8500's at 1186 MHz using 2.12v bios, so we have both made ram related progress today :D

@Mumid
Which Cellshock 8000 kit did you buy? I got the CAS5 kit and it doesn't want to do 600MHz for anything.

The cas 4 kit mate. Really really pleased with it, it was slightly more expensive than the cas5 kit but well worth the extra £9.

If the 1150 CAS5 kit holds out past the 31st, I'm getting a set of those.
