Ram for Overclocking..

aero52788 · 12-18-2005, 03:00 PM

I have a intel d865perl mobo a 3.2ghz and a gig of kingston pc2700 (2x512) and now iam wanting to do some overclocking. So i think it is time for some new ram. I want to get a gig for now but in a few months iam probly going to upgrade to 2. So i dont know if i should get a gig stick or 2 512s? And i dont know how many double sided and single sided sticks my mobo can support. My budget is $150 for a gig so could you guys please send me some links. (REMEMBER ram is for OCing) THANKS

what about gskill, ocz and giel i thought those were better for ocing. I just dont know what ones to get.

G.Skill and OCZ are also really good for overclocking, this is probably one of the best: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145560

G.Skill 1GB CL2 - $106
It has the lowest timings available for any stick of ram around that price range.

I heard somthin about G.Skill TCCD or somthin like that.

TCCD is a memory chip cpabable of scaling uber high frequencys. Not sure if it will fit in your buget though.

Geoff why are you showing 1 gig sticks instead of 2 X 512? This might be a dumb question but dont 512 Mb sticks have tighter timings and can run in dual channel?

Oh and Aero, if you put the new stick in with your old one, it will be downgraded to teh old ones speed and timings, so theres no point of adding on.

Yea i know iam selling my pc2700. Iam gettin better ram to do some OCing
Is there any ram out there better then this FOR OVERCLOCKING for this price? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227209
I dont really want to go over that price. But if it is worth $25 extra should i go with the titanium over the platinum http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227054
if there is anything better send me the links. Is that corsair xms better? and is the gold better the the titanium and platinum?

If you guys think that 2gig isnt really needed i am willing to spend like $200 on a gig of really good ram.

timing not really, dual channel obsolutly

dual channel is an ok feature but you should be willing to drop it if there is the possibilty of near future upgrade (ie moving to 2 x1GB )

Also dont worry too much about getting the tightest timings, since when you overclock it's likey that you will need to slacken them off anyway, feel comfortable with cas 2.5 the difference aint all that anyway

This stuff is better 2-3-2-5@2.6v and is cheaper at $79.47 after $20MIR

Generally, if you have to ask, odds are you wont notice much

Compared to 1GB sticks, generally yes. But that is changing quickly

Or get memory that is voltage friendly
