Most brands are clocking well above there rated speed. I have personally tested 6 or 7 brands and rather than post a 500 word response I thought I would just post this for you to read. www.anandtech.com As you can see even the cheap nasty Adata/transcend 667 are stable over 900(effective). My current 667 ram can do 1080 (effective), not exactly close to its rated speed ah? |

| 510231 | 2006-12-28 03:08:00 | Graham - that is right about the errors. But as for the rated speed I don't agree, you can get RAM to some pretty high overclocks, just loosen the timings and pump up the voltage and watch the MHz increase :D my motherboard can support up to 4V to the RAM :eek: and the RAM (DDR 400) that could take 3.8V got clocked to over DDR 900 speeds:eek:, I can't find the article as it has gotten old and been removed (I think)... but I assure you that is true But in a way, yes, most memory is only just fast enough, BUT that is at the stock voltage, increase this and the MHz go flying |

| 510232 | 2006-12-28 19:34:00 | This thread (sorry OP as it is a tad OT) has made me decide to see how far I can overclock my RAM... So far I am running a 270 FSB with a 10x multiplier giving 2700MHz at 1.55V on the CPU and a DRAM:CPU ratio of 10:11 giving me DDR491 at 2.5-3-3-7 CR1 timings at 2.7V and I left Memtest running overnight and it passed 20 times over 9 and a half hours. and I have budget Legend RAM | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
