Corsair CMX512-3200CPLL low latency or CMX512-3500CP2. I was wondering which piece of ram to buy for overclocking. I would like to get my memory running at 400MHZ+. They both basically cost the same. Which would be more stable in an overclock.
Thanks

If you are wishing to only acheive 400 mHz, you would already be there with no overclocking with those modules. PC 3200 is 400 mHz.

There are no current mobo to support PC3500 yet, PC3200 at CL2 can be overclocked easily and rock stable. So you should wait until PC3500 become a mature product before purchasing.

My PC has gone to hell... because it's a killing machine...

My thing is that i would like to clock the ram over 400 by using the 3:4 or 4:5 memory divider on my ABIT IT7 Max2 V2. I know the boards don't support it yet but it will have no problem going above DDR400 speed. I was just curious as to which of these two would be more stable going above the 400mhz barrier.
