Im intrested in buying this ram and overclocking it to 1000mhz but someone menchened they may have changed the chips recently to prevent people doing this and having to spend more money?

I contacted OCUK but they said "Unfortunately we would not be able to provide you with this information". Which makes me wonder if they just dont want me buying the cheaper ram. Fair play ... i gues.

So do you guys know if they still have the D9 chip? And if ill be able to overclock to 1000mhz?


Thanks. Ive been asking around the forum here and there but never really got a reply so i guess ill make my own thread. I was hoping ocuk would be able to check their stock for me.
 
They are ment to be able to do 1000mhz are 4-4-4-12. Would that not be faster for you?

Thanks for your reply. They would have had to of changed them only resently if they have.
 
Mine does do 4-4-4-12 stable, but I didnt notice any performance difference so thought may aswell keep it at 5-5-5-15 and lower the vcore.

Yes they are still using D9 Chips.
Yip. As confirmed with a RMA received direct from Crucial 4 weeks ago.

I very much doubt any other chips would be able to do the stock settings of 3-3-3-10 @667mhz anyway.
 
Great. Well thankyou very much you just sold 4gb of the stuff :P Pity its not for ocuk lol. Well, if they would have achualy have checked them for me instead of hoping id buy more expensive stuff then i might have.
