wow, my non bh5 ram does 231fsb at cas2!

Wow not bad, 231fsb seems to be about my limit. oddly enough it crashes in drag but makes it thru car chase

see my description. Most of the difference is cause im single channel and 231 instead of 235. If I could get it to 235(It did unstable at 2.5-3-3-11 for 15.7k)at cas2, id be like 16100, only 300 marks below my mushkin. Maybe I should buy another stick then ill match my mushkins performance LOL! my mushkin wont really overclock, but that might be a mobo compatability issue. Is mushkin and hyperX known for not working properly on nf2 mobos? Ive had GREAT luck with corsair value, its the best ram so far of all ive tried. Will games be needing a gig of ram anytime soon? I could save up for that and my benefits will be threefold. higher 3dmark, more fps in games and more ram for games. Problem is, ill need another stick thatll do 231fsb at cas2 and this stick isnt even bh5 LOL! just says value select on the chips

actually you'll get worse timings running more RAM
That is usually the accepted trend.

*sigh* I really need to get an XP-M. Im only slightly over 17k with my 9800 @ 450mgz.

My freakin crap a$$ T-bred wont run over 2.25ghz At first I thought it was the multis but now Ive seen the light!

strange. I am just over 1k marks away from you at just 2.15GHz on the cpu. and my corsair value ram is overclocking as good as your mushkin ram! dont blame the cpu, more MHz matters little, try to get a higher fsb! I needed 1.7v for 2.15GHz, yours does higher!

On your year+ old sticks of Value-RAM PC-3200,

What does the memory chips say on them?

I know for a fact that mine is CH-5. But for some reason adding voltage prevents my PC from POSTing.

If you dont believe me here's the proof
