ASUS A8N-SLI & RAM

[b3six]

I read through the big thread on the asus a8n-sli and didnt see much on this but I read that this board is really picky with RAM and I wanted to know what RAM do you guys use that have the board ?

Corsair 4400C25. I highly recommend it, this stuff is just awesome!

Crucial Ballistix. I haven't overclocked yet, but at stock it works perfectly. It reads the SPD, and runs the RAM at 2-2-2-8 1T automatically.

Mushkin Enhanced Series - 2x512MB PC3200

Currently running Corsair 2x CMX512-3200C2 v5.1 and have successfully overclocked FSB to 235MHz while backing off timings (I think a more typical reliable overclock for these is 210MHz). A64 3500+ seems just peachy during overclocks. Just ordered the following:

G.Skill Model F1-3200DSU2-1GBLD (Samsung TCCD, PC4400)

That is, unless someone can point out a reason this would be a bad idea?

Wish me luck!

Corsair XMS PC3200XLPRO 2X512MB (2-2-2-5)
Works great to my knowledge

I'm using the OCZ, like Bap

I'm currently running 1:1 with ram at 250mhz 2-3-3-10

I just bought the OCZ Plat 2 for my new board, based on the 10/1 review at AT. Hope mine works out as well as Bap's and GDaddy's

 

[b3six]

thx for the replies guys

I tried to find this OCZ ram on newegg but couldnt find it :/ anyone got a linky to somewhere i can buy it from?

4x256mb Corsair XMS PC3500 C2 modules.

 

[alien42]

has anyone tried the vanilla mushkin ram with the a8n-sli?

 

[buckZor]

Everyone is running (2) 512MB modules, which I understand is optimum for TCCD. Does anyone have a recommendation for 1GIG modules, for a ram total of 2GIG, dual channel? There has to be a bad ass 1GB module that will run 250mhz... someone? *begs*

Here is some (great timings for 1024 modules) that should be able to reach 250mhz if you relax the timinings , but DAMN!! too rich for my blood. You could build a pretty nice complete system for the price Newegg wants for these babies.


Kingston HyperX 2gb kit

century child, I was wondering why you chose memory that runs at 550mhz. Doesn't the Asus board only run at 400mhz?

I ordered the MUSHKIN DUAL 1GB(512X2) DDR400 R

I should have my board in 2-3 days from ZZF (currently 199.99 + Free 2nd day)

I'll let you know as soon as soon as I can.

Think this Corsair would be a good choice? I just want to make sure I'm get'n best "bang-for-buck".

Curious... Is this 1t or 2t? What voltage are you using? What's your Sandra Bandwidth?

How about this Mushkin PC3200 Value RAM for $137 at newegg?? I'm planning on buying cheap(er) RAM based largely on Zebo's "official 939 memory matrix" thread, and common reports of the law of diminishing returns (say on $240 OCZ Platinum).

 

[b3six]

I'm still having problems picking RAM.. mainly because I dont understand parts of it. what do the #-#-#-# mean? and what would be a good choice and why? I want to get the best RAM but would also like to understand what exactly im suppose to look 4 in RAM
