Which memory?

Kde7 · 12 Feb 2006 at 14:50

Hi guys, I'm putting together my first build around an X2 3800+ and an A8N SLI Premium. I'm wanting to overclock my cpu to ~2.4 Ghz so I'm looking for a 2GB kit for under £160 that can do 270 (x 9 for 2.43 Ghz) or 240 x 10 at relatively low latancies (preferably 3-3 for the middle two).

Can someone please advise me which memory to buy to achieve this? Also, I've heard that the A8N Premium is picky when it comes to memory. (Sorry if you're sick of people asking that but it's hard to decide since it's my first build, and overclock lol).

Thanks,

Karl

For the latencies you mention, you will need to add about £60 to your budget. Otherwise, look at the G.skill HZ, OCZ Gold XTC PC4000, Mushkin PC4000 Black.

Thanks for the reply smids, I think I'll go for the G.Skill HZ and try hit 270.

Shame the Premium's vDIMM starts at 2.6v and not 2.5v though.

Best Vdimm is about 2.6-2.65 for the HZ anyway
