   |  Recommend me new ram Alright guys, I found out my ram is out of whack because the new 2gb I have it a newer version with different speeds. I even bought the one from my order history and it's not the EXACT same thing. So, I will return the ram to newegg this week and instead I will buy 2x2GB sticks. Now I will have 4gb in dual channel and I will sell the old 1x1gb G. Skill sticks on craigslist for like $30 or something. Please choose out of the following http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...e&Pagesize=100 I was thinking about this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231209 Last edited by solidjake; 12-27-2009 at 09:46 PM. |

| Re: Recommend me new ram definately, the g.skill's you picked or the ocz or patriot vipers between $92 and $96. all look about ddr800, 4-4-4-12, 2.0-2.1V. that's a good recipe for oc-ing to 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 or faster  |

| Re: Recommend me new ram So are those lower speeds or whatever better than 5-5-5-15? I never really studied ram that much |

| Re: Recommend me new ram lower latency at higher speed is what you want. for example, 5-5-5 is worse than 4-4-4 for ddr800. however, due to limitation of ram and the technology itself, the latencies must increase at higher clock speeds. so, 5-5-5 for ddr1066 is good. and yes you want smaller numbers for the timings you can also judge ram by the rated voltage for whatever advertised speed. i.e. ram that is only ddr800 and 5-5-5 timings with 1.8v could probably do 4-4-4 with 2.0 or 2.1v. when comparing ram, first compare speed (obviously). then compare latency timings to see which is lowest, and lastly check to see which ram operates at the lowest voltage. that formula will lead to the best oc potential.

| Re: Recommend me new ram Man, zipzoomfly's layout is confusing. Why the hell is their 4gb ram like $40?  If it's legit and if you can recommend me some good ram from them then I'll get 8gb. |

Yea, the stock heatsink and fan suck. With the Zalman cooler the idle temp on a good day is 34C | |
