Corsair Deal

DeadLOK · 23 Dec 2008 at 10:02

How do,

Just upgraded to a P5KR and a Q6600 which I would like to overclock, in order to do so im going to need some better memory.

Would this be up to the job? seems a really good deal

Id be happy to spend a bit more if it'll get me a better product.

In my experience they don't stretch to much but are Completly Solid & Reliable. I'd have a set at that price just as spares to be quite ******* honest.

By stretch do you mean push past 800Mhz?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...86-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813&name=OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)

This OCZ stuff isnt a great deal more, would it be any better?

Nevermind I just went for the corsair, thanks for the advice.

Sorry I write as I speak, My Corsair hasn't clocked to well but are Super stable, Need other comments of actual users though as my system is not an easy system to judge individual hardware with.
I Highly recommend them as a set that you can literally Sling in & run stable & if they are stable in my system I reckon they will be stable in Any system.

OCZ I cannot comment on as I have never owned a set.

Edit.
I was writing the above

You won't be dissapointed & I'd be interested to know what you get out of them.

I'm contemplating this to take my system to 8Gb as it seems a bit of a steel... However how much improvement will I see going from 4GB to 8GB

I doubt you will see much as most games/apps don't use all 4gb of ram. Although you may be able to turn off your page file

but I wouldn't recommend it. Also if you overclock, it will be less stable with 4 sticks over 2 sticks.

I would advise against OCZ memory if using an Asus board, i had nothing but problems until i put my Geil back in.

I've got 4x2GBs on my Asus P5K at over 960mhz, its good stuff.

No I wouldn't run it without a page file. What I'm think of now is 2 x 80GB drives in a strip config for the o/s

I've got that corsair and it wont go a sniff past 450

littlepuppy · 24 Dec 2008 at 16:45

The corsair is great solid memory.. Its not great for Ocing though.. But ive never owned more stable memory and thats what I was after

monkeyharris · 25 Dec 2008 at 00:46

Anyone got any preferences of either the OCZ or the Corsair for a DS3p with a 6300 in?

I'm running those exact same memory on my P5Q-E at 2.1v. At 5-5-5-18 they hit 880.

Never had a set of Corsair die on me but as stated above, they arn't the best clockers. OCZ clock well but can become flaky when pushed too far and die easily when excessive volts are used.
