Switching from 2x1GB corsair value select, to the Patriot memory in sig, alleviated instantly all the problems i was having overclocking with my DFI Ultra-D.
Overclock increased from 2.4 to 2.74ghz, at much better memory timings (from 3-4-4-8 2t to 2-3-2-5 1t), and i now have no problems at all using all the memory dividers. I am normally an advocate of value ram, because performance memory usually costs a LOT more for very little performance gain. But this LL Patriot memory was only slightly more than the corsair trash, and the other memory in its price range was all much higher latency and usually didnt have a heat spreader.
The corsair was a nightmare, 7 different BIOS, changing memory slots, underclocking and relaxing timings below spec, overvolting, nothing worked. The only dividers i could use were the 333 and 400, any others resulted in no post, even at stock speeds.
Needless to say, i will never buy corsair value memory again. Even ancient DDR333 kingston value ram worked fine OVERCLOCKED to 400 in this board.
Overall, im very impressed with this memory upgrade :thumbsup:
