Corsiar PC2400 not all can o/c

[Demitre]

I just tried to o/c with my pc2400 256 DDR and it can't even get to 140mhz...

using a crucial pc2100, it works just fine... am I just the unlukiest bastard or what

 

[tristramshandy]

No, I'm the unluckiest bastard (or unluckier, in this case) because I spent nearly $300 three months ago for Corsair pc2100 -- believing that because it's high-quality Micron mem that it ought to overclock. Wrong on that score too. Got some cheap Crucial coming that's supposed to o'c like a besterd!

sint PC2400 rated at 150MHz? Are you running it at 2-2-2? trying messing with that, you might be able to get higher MHz out of it

 

[MrHelpful]

Corsairs aren't able to reach their rated specs. Sad, but it happens a lot

 

[zephyrprime]

So is Corsair a scam? Are Crucial's always better?

 

[Pabster]

No, Corsair isn't a "Scam". They're fine modules which I've used for a long time. It's like anything else - luck of the draw. Just like a CPU. You never know how far they'll go.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

But if it's rated at something dont you think it should be able to reach it?

 

[snow]

That's ridiculous if true. It's rated at 150, it should run at 150, no matter how unlucky you are. And to think they made a bid deal out of their supposed 'hihg quality' RAM. What a joke.

If I paid $100 for 256 of pc2400, it better run at 2400

And Crucial only OC's "GOOD" if you like cas 2.5

I have an epox 8k7a, and I didn't mess with any multiplier and everythign so far is on auto in teh bios.. the only thing I changed was teh jumper on teh MB from 100 shped to 133...

and even with multiplier at 9, I have a athlon 1.2, and when I change the clock to 140, it won't boto into windows.. says some kinda o/c error... Id idn't try any number between 133 ad 140... whats the point...

anyways, this is just my experience...

the 2-2-2 settings? will that help? I think I migth be running at 2-3-2 if I know what you're talking about
