I have been running a stick of pc2700 (cl2.5) quite happily at 180 mhz at cl2. I needed 2.95v in the dram, and I felt that if i went to 3.05 i might get 190 or more. But even with the large heatsinks i have on the memory i was worried about 3.05v.
So I bought some corsair 3200 which claims to run at 400mhz with 2226 t1. It arrived and I eagerly stuck it in the machine. Now consider this thing is supposed to do 200mhz fsb you will be amazed to find that Its unstable at 2.95v at 150fsb!
I left the standard heat disipators it comes in and i dont think its a temp issue even though it does get slightly hotter than my pc2700 with the huge heat sinks.
So whats the deal here? Did i get a lucky stick of pc2700 and an unlucky pile of crap corsair?
