need memory for E6600

[zakzak]

need memory to overclok E6600 DDR2 800 Mhz Bus and can u recomend me with a spesific brand

 

[Mondoman]

No such brand exists. All brands have good and bad products. If you'll be running at DDR2-800, I'd suggest getting RAM that will work at CL4 if possible.

 

[zakzak]

i need somthin not so chip and not so expansive

 

[Trunkz_Jr]

Whats CL4 anyway?

 

[Trunkz_Jr]

you mean the Memory CAS Latency 5-5-5-15 ???

if so, what about cord 2 extreme?

OCZ, Kingston, Patriot, Corsair, GEIL, AData, you name it! 🙂

What FSB speed do you expect to reach?

 

[crackdlr]

this ram by Gskill has the lowest timings ever - most memory timing this low cost double the price

[zakzak]

i expect to reatch 950 Mhz or at least 920 Mhz bus

DDR2-800 will not do you any good then.
You would need DDR2-1000

You could "hope" with DDR2-900 but better to get memory rated at that speed.


Not much in the inexpensive range, but this is reasonable.

Whats wrong with 800 lol

I was gonna get this:

Well, let's see........

DDR2-800 is rated at 800 while the poster wants 920+ :>

Did you not even read the description to your own link or what the poster said he wanted?

Now, Do I think the poster is crazy?
Absolutely! At 1:1 timings this means > 4.0Ghz

An 800Mhz but will take the E6600 to about 3.6Ghz which is a very nice OC.

 

[Trunkz_Jr]

Actually I did not see his post lol but I was actually meaning in general, as in 800 not as good 😛 I mean I wanted to get this motherboard:

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2573809&CatId=1533

and it said 533/667/800/1200(SLI-Ready).

Guessing I cant install that 1000? just a 1200? x_X

OK. E6600 has stock FSB = 1066MHz and a 9x multiplier.
For some lessons i've learned in another thread in THG Forum, if you install two DDR2-800 modules in dual channel you'll get 2x800MHz RAM access maximum speed. This leads to a maximum access of 1600MHz, which means with your DDR2-800 dual channel kit installed, your memory is faster than the CPU FSB can handle!
If you have a 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio at 1600MHz bus this means a system clock equal to 400MHz and cpu running at 3.6GHz.
Want to go beyond? Buy DDR2-1066 🙂

Be careful..... i think 400MHz is hard to get normally...

 

[zakzak]

thanx guys but still i want a specific brand somthing stable with overclock
at least fast at their stock speed because i can get ram called twin moss twister edition but i dont know anithing about them

 

[shandro]

i would get crucial ballisitx RAM
