Xtreme clocking possible with this ram?

[Geforce4ti4200]

This dude wants to sell it for $40 shipped. I have heard good things about it and am hoping for it to overclock better than my corsair value pc3200 which I have at 238fsb now(250 max) at ras-cas3. Maybe this will do ras-cas2 or ras-cas3 at much higher fsb? Is there any chance at all?

[zabomb4163]

do you have any pictures of the chips? and no, the chances of pc3200 doing higher than 238 with good timings are very unlikely. buy ocz eb if you want better ram.

[Geforce4ti4200]

This is infineon ram. Maybe I can get 260fsb at ras-cas3 then? 260x10 instead of 238x11?

[lalPOOO]

I don't see why you think the Infineon HYB25D256800BT-5 chips will be anything special. Maybe I'm out of the loop or something...
I think you'd be better off sticking with your 2.5-3-2-7@250mhz Corsair.

[thephenom]

This is like the FIRST time I've heard about people playing with Infineon chips and talk about SERIOUS overclocking.

But sure, you can buy it, play with it, and get MORE attention.

this sezs so much. (238FSB)

anyway, a little lesson here. good ram is good ram, other stuffs are just a hit and miss proposition.

if you want to cheap, then i say get it.

as far as being better or the best, what do you REALLY think????

how many times does the acorn have to hit you in da head??????????????????????????

quit beating around the bush, get some EB stuffs, nah, that would be too easy......................................

Love that smiley! There is a reason why no high-performance ram manufacturers use infineon. We are not going to find a golden nugget before corsair, ocz and the others.

Hmm.. I dont think so...

But i had some PC3500 that did 239@2.9V 2-2-2-6... Just sold them though...

"But sure, you can buy it, play with it, and get MORE attention."


I dont need attention, I need good clocks out of budget ram like I got out of my corsair value :D so what chips should I look for? what should be avoided? all infineon=bad, right?


"this sezs so much. (238FSB)"


250x10=2.5GHz at T2 command rate is alot slower than 238x11=2.62GHz at T1 command rate. I can get to about 240fsb with T1 which is not bad at all for a cheapo pc3200 corsair value!



"get some EB stuffs, nah, that would be too easy"



If I had the money I may. I actually am considering just grabbing a 256mb stick of that, its enough for 3dmarking. whats the going price on 256mb sticks anyway? I hear alot of people are moving to 512mb sticks so I recon 256mb cant be more than half the price. also id need to buy some already guaranteed at 238fsb or even especially 260fsb at ras-cas2. NO 3! 260x10 at ras-cas2 is gonna give me some very serious 3dmark increases, anyone know for sure? 500? 800?


" Maybe we should ALL give Ti4200 a spankin'"


stand in line you kinky perverts :eek: :smileysex :banana:

BWAA-HAA-HAA!!! Nope, I don't swing THAT way, lol. ;) Seems you have a good idea of what you need/want for RAM, but lack the funds to just run out & buy it. Just use some self-discipline, and save, do odd jobs, and see what you can get for your current stuff. If you really put your mind to it, you could get some EB or BH-5 or BH-6, a lot easier than tryin' a lot of other stuff. ;)

Good advice. Stop spending your money on more Ti4200s and old stuff and save.

[Geforce4ti4200]

Maybe that baby will do 260fsb with my a64? id be going from 238x11 to 260x10 then and ill gain quite a boost :D

[MUCHO]

Well - this is probably hersay for this forum - but the whole reason I got into overclocking was that I'm a cheap bastard and discovered I could just turn up the juice on my 1700 and get the same performace as the Barton 2500 I was about to buy. Then I got the bug a bit - but I'm still a cheapo.

Tomorrow I get the AN7 I bought from Drozdov in. On this board he was able to get some nice FSB using BH5 (I think) so I know its capable. I'll be testing the following Kingston Valuram

2 X 256 sticks of PC2700 valuram - purchased Nov 03 for $65

2 x 512 sticks of PC2700 valuram - purchased Aug 04 for $120 (after rebate)

2 x 512 sticks of PC3200 valuram - purchased Aug 04 for $130 (after rebate)

I'll be keeping the 2x256 sticks and keeping 2 of the best 512 sticks. I'm not expecting anything over 220 FSB but I'm hoping for some decent timings...

With me I could easily afford to buy EB 3700 but I couldn't justify it.

Like I said - hersay...

:D:D:D

[Geforce4ti4200]

guess what, I bought that ram and its in my system now, but its not a champ, but not all bad. I am at 225fsb now at 2.5-3-3-8 timings with 2.88v I am gonna see if I can get it a bit higher. no post at ras-cas2 at 200fsb though. I dont think ill keep it unless it can do at least 230fsb stable then ill stick in my 512mb of corsair value(which is GODLY as it does 250fsb max) and game with 768mb at 230fsb

[Geforce4ti4200]

looks stable at 225fsb, gonna try 230 now. If it wont even post, then I have never heard of ram thats all fine and dandy at 225 but wont post at 230!


edit: reduced cas latency to 3 and it booted right up at 242fsb but bsod when loading windows. I am at 238fsb now and gonna run 3dmark 2001. wow this little 256mb stick isnt too shabby after all, maybe ill buy a 512mb of that stuff next? such a darn shame my corsair value wont POST at cas3 or id have 768mb! so what should I do next? buy more corsair value or kingston and what stick? 256mb or a 512mb

[LukeK]

if I were you i woulda just saved and brought a 256 stick of BH-5...i have two sticks here of KHX that do 280fsb 2-2-2-5 sure it takes 3.9v but still. 260fsb at 3.45v, im sure you could find some nice pretested KHX if you searched for it

[Geforce4ti4200]

Nice clocks but I only have 2.88v available and no bh5 will touch the ram I have without high volts. I could use the OCz booster and id much rather do that than soldier but I could take out my a64s memory controller though, not worth it for another couple hundred 3dmarks

[LukeK]

thats a shame, well looks like your stuck without going xtreme enough to even bust a voltmod in it. I ran 3.9v on my 3.3v line with a K8N-P for about 4 months with no ill effects. plus im pushing 3.6v on the mem controller and ram as we speak. As far as I heard and have seen 3.9v is the limit for mem controllers on the 64's why not push it a little 3.2v isn't too much to ask.

[Geforce4ti4200]

I could grab a 256mb of bh5 and the OCz booster, what volts would I need for 260fsb and how risky is it if I just use it for benchies but NOT 24/7 usage

[ZEROKOOL]

i have 4 sticks of thoes in one of my servers at work.A intel 875P board running at 2-3-3-7 (recognized speed by spd)



512 sticks of PC3200 valuram <--
