Ram Settings for my OC

[MoFunk]

OK in my never ending quest to OC my rig to the max I have been looking at hyperx memory for my 8RDA+ I was looking at 2 sticks and I have questions. At newegg they are selling pc3200 with timings of 2-2-2-6-1t but the same chip at googlegear says 2-4-4-8-1t. So I looked at the pc3500 and see newegg 2-4-4-8-1t and googlegear 2-3-3-7-1. Why are there rated different and which one should I get? The PC3200 or the 3500? I have Corsair PC3200 running 190 FSB with 2-2-2-6 right now so would like to increase my FSB which I can't do right now.

Got links for those 2 sticks at newegg and googlegear? Personally I'd pick up a couple sticks of twinmos PC3200 from memoryx. I'm running a 512 meg stick @ 200, 2-2-2-6

If you already have Corsair PC3200, it's rated for DDR400 already and it should have no problem hitting 200FSB... Are you sure it's not your chip and/or the NB chipset (I heard that you need more voltage going there to hit 200+fsb..?) that's holding you back?

That is true and I have had it at 200 but was unstable. I have read numerous posts in amdmb forums that people were having better luck with other sticks of ram and that for some reason corsair was tweaky with this board. Like the second stick I got was corsair pc3200c2pt and it did NOT like my 8RDA+. Put it in my 8K7A and it worked fine. I even tried everything stock in the 8RDA and half the time it would not even post. So I figure that I can sell both sticks, get 2 of either twinmos or hyperx and run in Dual DDR.
