Just to see who seems to be the most popular/best brand of RAM for OVERCLOCKING.
If there are any I've missed, I'll add them, but there can't be many more, and I think I got all the major players.
Obviously I'm not including generic, that can go under other (if you're mad enough to overclock with generic RAM).

This assumes you run only one brand (I have some OCZ and some Samsung), if you do run multiple brands you have a choice.
If one stick OC's better than the other, then select that brand, if you have say 4 sticks, and 2 are from one brand, the other 2 are from 2 different brands, choose the one you have most of, or choose the one you prefer.
It's up to you if you run multiple brands, so choose which ever you feel most comfortable with. Or you can go for "other".

I've had a gig of Mushkin Blue UTT for a month that I STILL haven't finished overclocking...and this thread has reminded me to finish what I started! Right now I think the stuff is running at 2-3-3-6 230mhz @ 3v. Can't remember, lol.

I myself use corsair vs for my skt754. For the new systems Ive been building for people, have been the dfi board and some ocz value vx. The value vx is really a bargain oc ram.

Need multiple selections:
OCZ (older)
Patriot (1GB sticks)
Mushkin (value RAM)
TwinMOS (CH5)
Crucial (registered ECC in my fileserver) actually, I think it's old enough that it's called Micron.

I have also used Kingston

You may be able to tell... I'm not terribly brand loyal.

Benn using Corsair in my OC'd rigs for a couple of years. Been very pleased with it. But as usual, I'm open to whatever works great at a good price.

TCCD...great bandwidth and high clock speeds without a lot of voltage or cooling.
