How is this RAM for OC'ing

Well I already bought it, except mine had a 40$ rebate . So does anyone have any experience with this RAM? What speeds should be stable?

Well for what you paid for that memory I surely would have bought THIS for OCing instead, basically the same price as your link after rebate.

If you haven't opened the package you can always RMA it and exchange it, Newegg will do that for you no problem but from what I've discovered about Pqi memory [A friend of mine is running it], its tempermental and thats for stock settings he's not an OCer.

I'd never even heard of Pqi until he got his, I'm strictly Corsair myself.

That would be up to the rest of your components. The stability of the rams also depends on the overall stability of other components like the motherboard, power and etc. Some brands are good for certain setup and may have incompatibility with other. As for the PQI Turbo rams, well I don't know personally I have only used OCZ and Corsairs for overclocking. You have to try that for yourself on your system and find out how far can it overclock. Easiest way to do is make sure you have the voltage right to 1.9v usually and then set the frequency to 400hz. It should tightened it's timing automatically. Then you can push your cpu to it's max stable oc.

Just when i started to like you...

400+Mhz CL5 @2.2v
Why are you asking us when you can test it yourself??

Cheaper per GB, and better timeings.

At 2.1v Im getting 450fsb 4-4-4-12 100%stable

[rwaritsdario]

Reviews sometimes get better modules than the Retail ones, and results can vary ~20Mhz in the same modules. You must test them yourself!

 

[F1N3ST]

Well, considering they all could have done that, it is still the second best.

You arent listening and I still dont know what you waiting for...

 

[F1N3ST]

What do you mean what am i waiting for? Lol.

To raise the voltage to 2.4v, and use memory dividers to push your own memory till it cracks!

LOL ... Good luck on that ...

You were simply lucky with those Corsair modules @1.9v, but you never recognized how much and just sold the system...

Yeah I figured that out.
I got some money out of selling it. Will build one that's similar real soon, and see if I get lucky again. Wish me luck ...

Did you ever check what week your CPU belonged to?

 

[Clob]

HUH?!? This is the one I linked on my buld thread... I dont know the difference! :?
