ddr2 6400 to 8500?

[rhymin]

Hi all

Just wondering if this is a worthy upgrade:

I have a maximus formula mobo, e8500 overclocked, with 4x1gb corsair dominator 6400 ram, tried loads of different things, I cant get it any higher than 4ghz

Is it worth upgrading to 2x2gb corsair dominator 8500? Do you think i can get a little higher o/c?, is it worth the £100?

thanks for your thoughts

425x9.5, 1:1, cant remember timings, recommended i think

assumed it was ram really, i am bit of a noob when it comes to overclocking i admit, I shall try slacker timings etc when i get time

thanks for the help chaps

thanks very much for all that info, will try and have a go at it at the weekend

yep, have read about the degradation issue, wont go over 1.4v

tbh, 4ghz was the easiest o/c ever, i just upped the fsb, mobo increased the vcore automatically (1.35 i think) and boom, perfectly stable

will experiment to see if 4ghz is the max, might be being greedy!

thanks for your time and saving me money
