Which brand should I get: Geil, Patriot or Adata

[tomsonman]

Buying 2x2GB of 800Mhz CL5 memory.

Which of the selected brands are the most reliable?

I will not OC the comp, so all that matters is stability.

If you are not oc'ing, pretty much pick any modules. You only specifically pick if you plan to OC, buy the best modules for the price that have the best timings. All those brands are recommended.

I agree with Kamrooz. Just install them and run memtest. If they are stable, and you want to go that extra paranoid mile, feel free to up the memory voltage by .05 or .1V.

Consult the memory QVL on the mobo manufacturers website and use one that's on the list.

 

[tomsonman]

Good idea! Just about too ....

 

[tomsonman]

Hmm.. has found issues in some cases with PAtriot, Geil and especially Adat memory...

 

[Zorg]

See, going to the source beats a forum anytime.

The strange thing is, the Adat memory only works in a single channel, although Asus QVL list says it's fully compatible in A/B/C options ...

 

[Zorg]

You mean you tried it and it only works in single channel or you read it somewhere?

Additionally, just because it's not on the list doesn't mean it won't work, just that they don't guaranty that you won't have problems with it.

 

[tomsonman]

I read about it ...

I myself like Crucial, best memory period and actually very cheap nowadays

 

[tomsonman]

That I believe, but just can't get 2x2Gb sticks here in my country.

Have decided to go with Patriot 2x2Gb 800Mhz CL5 ...


Tnx everebody for the help.
