My GeIL 2GB PC2-6400 CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (MY-058-GL) Overclocking Experience.......

Hi there

Due to the popularity of these kits and many people wondering what kind of overclock these memory chips can hit I shall be testing a pair in the OcUK Conroe X6800 ES Bad Axe system I tested a couple of weeks ago.

Lets see if this memory can do 1000MHz+ Stable.

Sounds good to me, but keep your hands to yourself, I've heard about you

Well I think Super Tigers has just pulled!

Hi there

Right the Intel Bad Axe motherboard is not good enough to cope with this memory:-

No matter what I do slacker timings, one stick I cannot push past the this FSB stable which is pretty common on the Intel 975X Bad Axe motherboard.

I think you will agree this is incredible memory as its running at its specified timings but at over PC8500 speeds, in fact well over PC8500 speeds. Its running at 1150MHz+ at CAS4-4-4-4 timings with just 2.2v.

I personally believe that in a top specification mainboard with good voltage upto 2.5v this memory will see 1200MHz+ at CAS4 and well beyond that at slacker timings.

If you thinking of buying memory this has to be it, why buy OCZ, Corsair PC8000/PC8500 at £300 when you can have this superior memory for a little over £100.

Get buying folks! I've just ordered another 2000 kits from GeIL to make sure we don't run out of this super duper memory, bargain of the century I think. Remember its compatible with all the Intel DDR2 motherboads and the AMD nForce based DDR2 mainboards too. Happy days!!

Swipe a ds3 from the warehouse and slap f4e bios on it and a 6300. That setup is what a lot of guys and gals on this forum have, probably the best bang for buck setup since the days of the DLT3C 1700s. I am seriously tempted by this ram, just need some ram that will 900-1000mhz in my DS3 and I have an 6300 that will happily run at 3.0ghz without any increased vcore

Go on Gibbo, get a 'test sample' out the warehouse

This memory does 1200MHz with ease, so what you waiting for?

FreeStream · 12 Aug 2006 at 12:19

Hmm, do all kits do this? If you test 5/10 kits and they do the same results then im sold

From that screenie its 4x512Mb? Better than 2x1Gb?

However by the 2nd week of september new, better CAS 3 mem might be out

Awesome results Gibbo, 573Mhz at 4-4-4 :eek:

What a winner!

Would love to see some 2x1Gb results if you get the chance.

Its a 2GB Kit (2x1GB) !

Its the first kit I took at the warehouse, from my years experience when you get a thousand modules all from the same batch they all overclock within 1-2% of one another. Plus I am a busy man, I don't have time to test each individual kit.

Fact is OcUK has a great price on memory, whats even more surprising is how these kits rival and out perform the far more expensive kits offered by other manufacturers which OcUK also sell.

Hold on, it is the 2x1GB Kit !!

Thats just Sandra messing up, look at the CPU-Z screens and you can clearly see its a 1GB modules x 2.

Yeah gotcha now, it was the SiSoft screenie confusing matters

Looks to be as good, if not better perhaps.
