Hello,

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-108-CS

I have bought 4GB of this RAM as a part of the new system I ordered (should be with me next week. I'll also be running a Abit IP35 Pro with a Q6600, I have two questions:

1: Does anybody on here use this RAM if so, what do you think of it?

2: What settings should I have to get the best out of this RAM?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on if you change your CPU settings. Assuming you are running from stock settings, you can run this at 800MHz by changing the CPU/DRAM ratio to 2/3 although the motherbaord should do this for you.
If you overclock in future, you'll have to bring this down to syncronous 1:1.

I have it, i can't get it to go past 950 mhz. Wish i'd bought balistix now.

I do intend on overclocking the cpu, 3.0ghz is the target on that front. Was just asking because I haven't quite fully got my head around the whole overclocking thing just yet

It's not good overclocking RAM, but it is quite fast and very stable at stock speeds and timings.

It will run with an FSB of 400MHz (800MHz effective) with a CPU : DRAM ratio of 1:1.

Since a Q6600 runs at 266MHz (533MHz effective) then you have plenty of room for overclocking.

Thanks a lot for the help
