Patriot PC 5300 2 x 1GB DDR2 667

[88NovaTwincam]

People seem to be going over 800MHz
But what's under the heat spreader?

Was going to bite on the DS3 when the Egg drops price to $139 shipped
BUT NOW I'm waiting for C2 965 chipsets and the Asus P5B-E

When AT did a value RAM roundup, all their 667 modules hit around 800 on average. Not sure how much higher you'd get. But, it's pretty safe to say almost any 667Mhz memory module can hit 800Mhz.

BTW, what's the C2 rev 965 chipset bring to the table over the current 965 chipset?

supposed to fix memory issues that the latest BIOSes already fixed for the most part. I'm not sure what else.

C2 info from above link

Any Patriot owners out there?

Somebody on here has that memory at 900mhz with 2.1v so I would say yes 800mhz would be likely

I'm going for that memory too hopefully it doesnt shoot up in price

if you can afford it...

there is a set of crucial ballistix pc6400 that are on sale at newegg right now.

$288 before the rebate. $188 after.

these are supposed to have micron d9 chips so they overclock well. just a thought.

my OCZ PC6400 DDR2 800 4-5-4-15 is doing DDR2 1066 5-4-4-12 already .. its only $219 USD, cheaper than GSKIl 2GB PHU HZ,

but if u want good OC RAM i would get GSkill 2 x 1GB PHU HZ , that is one hell of a RAM can do DDR2 1200 with 2.8v vdimm :X XD

If you don't fry it first

 

[theteamaqua]

yeah but i think 2.4v is liek the maximum safe vdimm for people want to set it 24/7

it should be able to do DDR2 1100 on P5B DLX

 

[theteamaqua]

also its liek this if it can do 4-4-4-12 at DDR2 667, it should do at least 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800, cuz relaxed timing enables some room for overclocking

Every heard of air cooling your ram? Thats what people have been doing since the begining of time in order to push volts and speed on their memory. I'm looking at this A-Data set that can hit DDR800 personally, since its nice and cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211011
Only problem is it hasn't been in stock for several weeks now.
