E4300 but what RAM

Jimmy T · 27 Jan 2007 at 12:32

Hi

From what I've read, the E4300 seems to be a good overclocker. Lots have said that the major benefit is being able to go for cheaper RAM. I'm still new to overclocking so trying to get my head around FSB etc but can someone recommend me 2GB of cheaper RAM that would allow me to get to 3GHZ? Is it necessary to get PC 6400, or would PC 5300 be sufficient?

Thanks

PC5300 would be perfect for the e4300 if 3Ghz is your target.

This would be fine.

Thanks for the reply.

So this ram runs at 333MHZ? which means that I can achieve 9x333 = 2997MHZ?

Id get the cheapo Ocuk PC6400 stuff as its guaranteed to do 800mhz so with the E4300 and a capable board you should get 3.6Ghz

Seconded. Seems to be good solid ram, at a very competitive price.

They don't seem to be in stock at the moment. Any opinions on this ram?

I would second the Team elite stuff above.

Thanks for all the advice. I actually went with the Team Elite based on the advice from Humax in a different thread. It should all be arriving tomorrow so I'll soon find out just how good this stuff is.

Cheers
