I've had 4 stick of corsair hmm Crucial 10th anniversary ram running at nearly 1200mhz at 4 4 4 4 12 timings for nearly 2 years, Last week 2 sticks died so i got some of these as replacment. Quite frankly it sucks I cannot get it to do anything over 900mhz at the slackest timings possible. Can anyone recomend any brand of ram from ocuk that will run close to the timings and speed of my old Corsair ram ?

Are you sure it's the Corsair 10th anniversary and not the Crucial 10th anniversary?

Either way they should have a lifetime warranty.

Doh yeh i mean Crucial

It was made in limited runs there none left to replace my ram with, I'll just get single sided tracer back.

Well atleast RMA them back to Crucial in Scotland if you haven't already.

And tbh the replacements will probably still be as good as anything else, bar maybe the Kingston or these.

The new single sided trace doesnt clock well, I find it funny that that there little ram to top my 2 year old dimms

Just out of interest Smirnoff, what voltage were you using on that 10th anniversary to get 1200 4/4/4/12?

Smirnoff · 23 Mar 2008 at 15:11

2.2 - 2.3 volts with droop but it needs active cooling as it would get pretty toasty, Chipset and memory control needs a lot of extra volts to get it stable

I might just do the same and live with it, Ocuk needs a better memory selection some Muskin, Patriot and Team Group would be nice
