Hey all im looking to buy some very fast 6400 ram(4gb) to fit into my evga 680i SLI mobo please. Im not going to be hugely overclocking so im just looking for some very fast,great performance RAM please. Max budget for 4gb is around the £100 mark maybe can go a little higher if theres a noticeable difference in games.


Thanks in advance

All my friends who have 680i use Crucial Ballistix. So do numerous other folks in these forums. For whatever reason, the 680i and Ballistix seem to be made for each other.

My buddy has been having good results with OCZ. Any of them. He's on 680i. Be warned that evga 680i (probably other brands too) can & will burn out the memory controller if you give it too much voltage. You can't even give it near specs. Stay at or under 2.0v.

Ok koll can you recomend me some good OCZ ram then please that is cheaper than the crucial. Reason for me saying thism is because im not wanting to overclock majorly, so dont need uber expensive RAM ..... i would assume?

No you won't. Unless the game is called memtest. :D

Expensive ram is for overclockers. Non-overclockes can buy them, but it'll be a waste cuz they're not getting the most out of it.

Any of the OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400/800MHZ is fine. I would stick with lower voltage ones. 2.0v or less.
