well i got good setup or so i believe except the ram its corsair value select 512mb 3200... the rest is:
dfi lp nf2 ub
m2500 hitting 2.5ghz at high voltages of 1.9
5900 with the bios 5950u on
i got the sp97 with tornado and funnel on cpu
the mobo got heatsinks on ALL mosfets and ne thing hot
copper sb heatsink
slk800a modded to fit nb for cooling
8 misc 80mm fans...

so ne one got ne ideas on how to get this ram to move or shoudl i toss and get me some bh-5.. the only problem i got is all i cna afford is 512mb and i want to run 1gb later on...

hey man ive got the same RAM in my system.

frankly im surprised u got it that high even though the latencies r high 2. what kind of cooling do u have on ur ram other than lots of airflow through ur case.

also how low have u got the latencies at clock rates of about 215 to 220.

im at 220 right now just as a precaution till i get the bawls to go hgihger with more voltages... as for the timings 11-6-5-2.5 as reported by cpu-z... @ 3.2v cuz for some reaosn i get higher oc @3.2 then 3.3.. o well im working now so im gonna get me some bh-5 asap.... still would like to know if i cna get it better or not though ..that is the value ram

well i dont know where you can find some bh-5 cheap since you would have to buy it used from someone with a high price. my suggestion to you is save some money for a 1 gb kit of OCZ EB Series. Is this rig for benching or gaming?
