CAS 2.5 stability

DannyW · 1 Feb 2006 at 17:17

Ive just ordered some Geil value ram 1GB (2x 512mb) ddr400 CAS 2.5 (from ocuk of course)

The ram I have in now is ELIXIR 1GB (2x 512mb) CAS 3 in dual channel mode (slot 1 and 3)... Will the geil run stable with this ram aswell ?

so id have elixir in slots 1 and 3
and geil in slots 2 and 4

thanks

it should be ok. if you mix sticks it will all default to the SPD of the ram with the slackest timings.

Run the elixir at CAS 2.5 and do a sp2004 blend stress test for 8hrs to check stability

or make a bootable Memtest86 cd and run for a few loops

Cheers guys, If the Geil is very good like ive heard it is, ill probably sell the Elixir and get some more.

i want to ask does ** elixir ram run stable at 400? bcoz i read reviews about it and it only runs at 333 and lots of other rubbish, is this true?

Yeh its fine, been used on 3 motherboards now.

I can only overclock it to like 425mhz though, as its just normal cheap branded ram.

Just buy Corsair Value select, probably better for around the same money. I think OCuk value ram is Elixir - it shows a pic of it.
