Cosair XMS 2700

I have two sticks of this, in my 8dra. Has anyone been able to get this stable over 333mhz.

Im running a xp2500(barton) and am looking to overclock, just wanted to know what everyone else got.

Let me know the clock speeds that you where able to run stable at using this mem.

Thanks.

Is this the TwinX Corsair? Because if it is, then it should be good up to around 200MHz at 3-3-6-2.5 Timings. That's what I'm at...

Not quite sure... I don't recall...

What are the differences?

The TwinX package comes with 2 sticks of DDR and are guaranteed by Corsair to work in dual channel mode at their rated speed and sometimes above. There's still a very good chance that 2 sticks of the same size, speed, brand, etc of DDR RAM can have instabilities in dual channel mode, but the TwinX package will eliminate your RAM as a factor to a bad overclock or any system instabilities due to the end-user running their RAM in dual channel.

I see, yeah I did a lil research on that mem after you mentioned it. I think i just have the regular XMS modules.

I was able to get my mem up to 183mhz @ default voltage.

It crashes at 185 but I probably can get it stable with more voltage.

I was able to get my 2500+ up to 2.2 gigs (183x12). (I didn't know that the Epox 8dra board unclocked the Bartons for you, saved me some time cause I have the SLK-800 HS and that thing is a pain to removed and install)

Everything ran great... got 16800 on my 2001 scores (was getting 15K at default settings)

I am going to adjust the voltages to see if I can push it up a lil more and break the 17000 barrier.

I would like to get a lil more out of the mem , but it was cheap and an ~20 mHz overclock is pretty good.


Thanks you for the info.

WOW! 16.8K in 3dmark? Thats nice! My computer will only go around 13K tops. damn this radeon 9500 pro!

infinite012 tweak that radeon9500

lol I had it running at/above Radeon 9700 Pro specs...but you know that 128-bit pipeline is just killing my performance when comapred to the 256-bit 9700 pro

EDIT: wow this turned into a general hardware/benchmark thread....sorry!
