Geil® Ultra DDR2 2.0GB PC6400 Dual Channel Kit (2 x 1GB) 800+MHz Ultra Low Latency CA

These arent the ones that are on the week offers bit... Theses are another set of memory altogether.. I've just been looking around and these have Micron chips in it.. I'll post the two links regarding the memory...

That's the stuff I'm on about and this is the other link to the page regarding the memory type..

Where its got the stuff OC sell its :

PC6400 Ultra

GX21GB6400UDC / GX22GB6400UDC 4.0-4-4-12 @ 1.8~2.3V Aeneon AET93F30D Elpida

But this new stuff:

PC6400 Ultra Plus

GX21GB6400PDC / GX22GB6400PDC 3.0-3-3-8 @ 1.8~2.3V Micron D9GCT (B6-37E) or Micron D9GMH (B6-3)

The bottom one is what I've been told is the mutts nuts.. Aint cheap too. £310 for 2Gb's....
 
I'm just playing about with some settings on my board at the moment, I'm just trying to run the CPU as fast as possible, without getting the temps miles to high..

Thing is, I have to sometimes use the 1333 strap as the 1066 seems to give me problems over 380FSB unless I run the 1333 strap and then I can post anything up to 445FSB with the Geil Ram..

I'm unsure what's holding me back more, the memory or the CPU... It seems to require a heck of a lot of voltage to go from 3.51Ghz to 3.61Ghz (1.45 to 1.575v) to run properly..

Here's a question for you tho, how do you do your overclocking? Lower multiplier and higher FSB or highest possible multiplier and fastest speed possible?
 
Should have bought two sets of the Crucial PC5300 stuff rather than the Geil then :( Oops!! :lol:

Not to worry, I'm sure it will be fine somehow or other!! :lol:

Thanks for the tip tho :) Still more expensive compared to the Geil and for £130 or whatever I paid for them, I'll stick with them just fine :)

I wont be worrying about the voltages going through them because I've ordered one of the Dominator fans that sits over the ram modules so, hopefully, that will help no end :)

I'll bare it in mind should I ever be able to sell it off :) But does look like people do waste their money going for the PC8000+ stuff, if the PC53/6400 stuff works just as well :)

Great overclocks by the way :)

Oh one question, is it just specific to one lot/type of ram or is it any of them? I get the impression that the price of the ram can be a bit of a give away to how good it is... In theory anyways...
 
But the only problem with that Ultra plus stuff is that I've seen it for £310 for just 2Gb of it!! :eek:

I've just ordered 4Gb of the Ultra stuff with the 4-4-4-12 timings for less than £260!! The memory is perfectly fine for the speeds I'm using so I've no worries with it at all :) I've even bought a Dominator fan thingy that goes over the ram to help cool it down :) Figured with 4 sticks of ram on it, it needs to be cooled properly...
 
That would be fine, mine are currently working at 370FSB on the CPU which is about 450 or something with the RAM. Works fine :)
 
I think I can manage 3.33Ghz on stock volts, if not, it would need one notch up, so its 1.35vcore.. Temps dont hardly differ much at all...
 
I so wish I could get mine stable at the right setting :( My AW9D-Max seems to think its PC5300 for a start and in the bios its setting it too 667 :( Its meant to be 800, but its so not working right :(
 
I've just recieved my 4Gb of Geil PC6400 and its actually recongising it at PC 6400 which is really nice :D

My only question is now really, how can I run it at DDR2 800 with my FSB being 390??
 
My only real problem is not having the right multipliers for the speeds I guess. Not to worry, running it at 390 is fine for the moment :) If the CPU changes, we'll work on that when/if it happens... ;)
 
It works fine, but it just needs so much more voltage to run another 100mhz I just dont see the point in it.. Waste of time and I dont want to burn out the CPU before I'm managed to use it!! :lol:

It should, the spd (which is what the bios reads) is set at safe values (DDR667). However the dimms are rated to run stable at DDR800 4-4-4-12 @2.1v, so you should be able to run the sticks at that setting without issue.
Click to expand...

Its the CPU that wont run at 400FSB because of the amount of VCore I need to put through it to get it to work...

I dont like temps going over 60C under a full load and they are 51C under a full load with it being at 3.51Ghz.. Seems to go up like a rocket with the amount of vcore thats needed for 3.61Ghz... Seems silly to do it for 100mhz...
