Best OC ram

[pbsk8er03]

Okay, well I am an overclocker, and am planning to reach around 2.6-2.7 ghZ on my venice 3000+ if possible. I want to get atleast 1GB of ram and read the FAQ, but I am still a bit iffy.

1. What is the best DDR ram to use in conjuctution with a Venice 3000+ 64, asus A8n premium, and 7800GTX?

2. This must be very overlcock friendly ram.

not sure on this, but id say Corsair XMS.

look for DDR600 RAM. if you have that RAM, you can overclock the fsb of the 3000+ from 200 to 300MHz. that way, the RAM would be running at 300MHz (600 DDR ) and the CPU would run at 2,7GHz

Woah ddr600! Thats a lot huh. So technically with this ram I can overclock to 2.7 ghz? And this is the best?

ddr 600 isnt that like ddr2 he wil be able to run ddr2 are you sure

 

[pbsk8er03]

Yeah, thats why I was suprised. I thought 600 was DDR2

 

[Modoman]

it's ddr1. and ocz is the best!

 

[pbsk8er03]

it's ddr1. and ocz is the best!

Wow, thats some intense DDR. So that is the absolute best for around 200?

OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 DDR400!!
This RAM has been accepted in many forums to pretty much guarantee an overclock of at least DDR600. This isn't on stock specs though obviously. Newegg has 1GB (2x512MB) for $156!!

 

[super_xero]

wow a almost guaranteed clock mm i may be interested in a pair of those

I got this from this list:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50010
It shows high performace RAM cards and the PCB and mem chip they use. The OCZ cards I mentioned have the Brainpower PCB and TCCD chips! If you look at all of the DDR600 RAM cards, they use Brainpower PCB and TCCD chips.
It also has a list for each product and what kind of overclock you can expect out of them. the OCZ chips I said are under "for sure over 300 Mhz, except rarity".

 

[super_xero]

so if he followed the steps archangel provided could i get those ocz mem to run at ddr600

 

[gamerman4]

with some looser clock speeds and higher voltage, you can proably get ocz above DDR600.

 

[pbsk8er03]

So the OCZ in the first link privded is the best bang for the buck and best OC'er out there?

 

[34erd]

I would go with the G.Skill DDR600 if your getting RAM at that speed, its got tighter timings and can also run DDR600 @ 1T easily.

But bang for your buck? Basicly any DDR3200 TCCD with tight timings. I've got DDR500 BH5 chips at really tight timings, but I'm having trouble getting it to run corectly. Chances are its just me though, So if you want to go with those winbound CH5 chips are also good overclockers. But TCCD is still the best for uber high speeds

These OCZ chips maybe not the best overclockers in the world but will get to DDR600 without too much of a loosening on the timings. Definitely best bang-for-buck offer

 

[super_xero]

would you recomend those over say
Corsair XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX (2 x 512Mb) 1GB Dual Channel
or
OCZ PC3200 EL DDR Dual Channel Gold C2 2x512Mb Kit

 

[liquidshadow]

Yes, i think the El Platinum Revision 2 would be the best our of those.

 

[gamerman4]

The OCZ Platinum Rev2 is probably the best PC3200 you could possibly get. Somewhere there is also OCZ Platinum Rev2 in PC3500!! Probably would get some SWEET OCs with that.
