[jamjar]

Hi All can someone tell me what is the differeance between these 2 Corsair memory chips ? apart from the price
these ones :

and these ones :

The C4/C5 part of the name refers to the memory's latency. It won't make a hell of a lot of difference, if you're on a budget then get the C5 seeing as it's on special. If you need the extra bandwidth that the 4-4-4-12 will give you then go for that.

Or just buy http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-GL which is essentially the same only without a pink sticker.

If you ever decide you want to OC the memory, the C4 version will allow a bit more OCing headroom.

It depends on the revision, check here:

Most likely, they are Promos.

What are the promos like on overclocking as i've checked mine and they are Microns, enquiry for a mate of mine who has just purchased these and are v2.1.

As an employee, I have to start with, "we only guarantee the rated timings, speed, and voltages".

We have seen some go as high stable as 1000mhz. However, most fall between 850 and 950 depending on voltage and latencies. If he wants pure speed, 5,5,5,15 at 2.1v should do well. Technically, we have a 5% tolerance so you can get away with 2.2v. However, there is on-die voltage regulation on the ICs so, the extra voltage may or may not help.
