DDR2

[Johnboyjoe]

hi guys basically am looking for some DDR2 ram thats going to be able to take an overclock up to 1300Mhz+ with timings of 5-5-5-15, at the moment i have some ballistic PC6400 but its craps out at around 1275Mhz and i don't really like hitting it with 2.4v.

what would u guys recommend?

basically trying to better my current 3dmark05 score, the ram is holding me back slightly, i could use a different FSB/memory ratio and up the FSB but this is resulting in a lower mark, i want to up the FSB more but keep the current FSB/memory ratio.

want to hit over the 25k with this system

i use all the 3dmark benchmarks, yes i know 05 is mainly GPU (one of the reasons why i'm using it) ocing the cpu/ram does make a difference in 05 have a look for yourself

last 2 results are with a difference of around 300Mhz on the cpu, FSB from 475-510, i know i can run the bench with a FSB of 525 but with a different FSB/ram ratio which lowers the speed of the ram and gives a result thats lower than the result with the 510 and faster running ratio hehe

so if i can get ram that'll run slightly higher then i can push the FSB up which will hopefully take me over the 25k mark, just wanting to see if i can do it

as for cpu marks, well best i can do is 3700 with my E6750 in 06 on air

soz forgot aboot the specs

E6750
MSI Neo2 FR
2Gb Ballistix PC6400
BFG 8800GT OC 725/1050

ach i'll see, might sell these sticks and give something else a go

hmmm maybe time i got the soldering iron oot then lol

now there's an idea if only hehe na was thinking about a volt mod but doubt i will.
