Best DDR3 Memory for PHII

[Daveburt714]

I know this question has been asked more than once, but there is alot of new stuff out there and I'm actually about ready to buy a premium 4GB kit...

Here's what I'm looking at:

G.Skill 1600 7-7-7-21 @ 1.65v
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231279
(leaning heavily toward this kit unless I hear otherwise! )

Mushkin 1600 7-7-7-20 @ ~1.9v
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146871

Kingston HyperX 1625 7-7-7-20 @ ~1.8v
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820104105

I'd really appreciate any opinions or recommenations based on the gear shown in my sig...

Thanks..... Dave

OCZ Platinum 1600 7-7-7 1.65V...the amd version works great and not over priced.

[Titan7171]

Those G-skills look tight, same ones I was wondering about for a future purchase...

Are you talking about these Mav2000?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227448

They are actually 8-8-8-24 @ 1.65 and only $1 cheaper than the G.Skills...

ocz has 2 grades one cas 8 one cas7, when the cas7 is in stock it sells out in an hour or so. anything with micron is good they have the qpt i think thats the low volt stuff

OCZ has some platinum's with cas7 but they've been OOS @ the egg for almost 3 months. I talked to tony and he said he'd let me know when they egg is gonna have them again.

Here is the alternative.

Its 140 for three 2 gb sticks. Buy two kits, use the four 2 gb sticks, pay 280, sell a member here the remaining two 2 gb sticks for 100, viola!

If you want it, I am thinking of buying two of these kits, I can sell you two sticks for 100. They retail for about 100 USD when they are in every 31 lunar cycles on jupiter.

[zanzabar]

thats not the same u have to go to the 1800mhz kit to have a chance to get the same chips as the amd plat

[Koekerwauz_NL]

don't forget corsair

the Corsair TW3X4G1600C9DHX 2x2GB is also an OK kit.
running at 7-7-7-20 @1,85 Volts.

[mav2000]

This is what I am talking about. I got it for 70 Euros including shipping to India which was 10 Euros. Now looks like the prices have picked up significantly.

looks like its sold out from where I bought it though.....

As u may know amd prefers tight timings to speed in mhz...so am right now running this at 6-6-5-18 1T at 1.65V. My IMC is too weak to run 1600, and anyway this seems to give better results with a higher clocked NB.

[mAJORD]

I've been extremely happy with the G.Skill 1333 PI (cas 7) , they OC like mad at low voltage for the $.

So i assume the 1600 kit is also a nice low voltage option, but better.

[Smartidiot89]

These quite good/cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148227

Max stable was 1411mhz 6-6-6-18-24-1T at 1.8v for me but with some voltage mine easily does 1500mhz+ 6-6-6-18-24-1T stable and was great fun benching with, with appropriate voltage... They should run 1600mhz CL7 without a issue in this world

And the OCZ Reaper 1600MHz DDR3 - 1.9V

I have the OCZ Reaper, and I'm enjoying.

I can do 1800MHz CL7@1.92V.
and 1600MHZ, 7-6-5 @ 1.85V


not tested much yet

[w0mbat]

The best one is any one @1.5v.

[danny2244]

DON'T USE DEFAULT 1.8v & 1.9v ram ON AMD P2
CHOOSE DEFAULT 1.5v ~ 1.65v

[WSP]

DON'T USE DEFAULT 1.8v & 1.9v ram ON AMD P2
CHOOSE DEFAULT 1.5v ~ 1.65v

I agree on that.

I have Micron D9GTR chips (Team Xtreem D3-1866C8 2Gb kit) which working great on Intel systems (2000mhz 7-7-7-21 2T on X38 and X48 mobo), but fail to boot to windows @1600mhz 9-9-9-24 2T on my PII 550 even @2.0v

but maybe my PII 550 having a bad IMC

first thing you have to do if you looking for a good RAM is to check out if your cpu have a good IMC

[charged3800z24]

I must be the only one running Kingston LOL. I have the 2x2GB and 2x1GB Hyper-X 1800mhz kits and both run 1600mhz 7.7.7 23 1t @ 1.65v and 1333 6.6.6. 21 1t @ 1.6v

I may have a "lot" of an affordable high performance ram solution for amd in 2x2 gig variant's in the near future Predicting 5-5-5 1333, 6-6-6 1600 and 7-7-7 1800 all the "good" stuff amd likes

[Darknight]

after some quick tests

my OCZ 1600MHZ (1.9V default) do with CL8 @ 1.65V

and 1.8V with CL7

What is your opinion? Which I use

[Riska]

Go and buy the Crucial Value Pc10600 1333mhz mem they rock avsome CT3KIT12864BA1339 it is a 3gig kit but dirt cheap and they do 1600mhz 7-7-7-18 1T at 1.65-1.70v no problem!
They are with Micron D9JNM chips.

I envy you

Actually I'm pondering selling some at a reasonable price thus the reason for grabbing an entire lot. Need to see how they do first but the IC's are quality

[ridney]

i'll definitely get a good 4gb kit from you chew, just let me know
