Just wondering if this is a good overclock for generic Samsung PC3200? I am thinking about swapping it out for my Geil.

Nice so far. Have you tried to lower the timings any?

SWEET, and to think I also have Samsung PC3200 DDR SDRAM. Just curious, could you send me a link to where you purchased yours? Also, are those your default timings and do you have memory coolers, etc. As you can tell I am interested and would like to know anything and everything about your RAM as I also would love to churn out the most performance possible.

They are @ 2.8v, and are prime stable for 8hrs so far.

Can't get it to boot with lower timings.

I actually bought them from an Ebay auction just to get me by until I could afford some Mushkin. They cost me about $175 6 months ago. Timings are lower than stock already ( default is 2.5 4 4 8). No memory cooling at all. Here is a link:

Very nice there. I purchased mine for $173 from www.buyaib.com and assume that these are the same RAM. I installed some vantec icebergs on my RAM so now am giddy with joy and anticipation. Maybe this Samsung RAM is better than I thought it was...
Keep up the great work NinjaWreck
ADDED: The one reason I have hesistated to OC my RAM is because Prime95 errors on me at three minutes, EVERY TIME. I personally think I need to up my vcore but no one in the applications and software forum seems to want to respond

Yeah, you probably need higher voltage. I am thinking of doing the vdimm mod on the IC7-G. I heard it gives you another .2v default. The thing holding me back on the 3.0E rig with the samsung is the heat produced by that damned Prescott. I have a feeling this ram can do more, but I'm hitting 55c while running prime. The MB montior is showing 80c, but these Abit boards are way off. I have an external temp probe.
Note: this ram is running in dual channel mode.

I got my Prime95 to finally work by bumping up my vcore to 1.75 from 1.65. Time to OC the memory
Thanks for the inspiration NinjaWreck

Have you considered doing a vdimm mod?

I would try a vdimm mod if I were good at these things, I tend to mess up a lot. Anyways, where can I find a tutorial or something, it is something I may consider (my RAM runs better on 2.8 than 2.6 so I assume 3.0 will be even better). Thanks in advance

I'm kind of new at this... is Samsung good RAM? When I check pricewatch, it looks like the stuff goes for half the price of corsair and some other brand names.

Could you perhaps elaborate? What if I said that I did?

Oh, come on! A set of forum users as opinionated as this and no one has an opinion about Samsung's memory???

Also depends on your luck, mine is crap while ninjawreck's rocks.
Samsung can be OCed a lot but tends to have very crappy timings even at stock so it's better to OC since the timings can't get much crappier than they already are lol.
Go with BH-6 or BH-5 stuff on Muskin/Corsair/Kingston, it's the best and I prefer it over Samsung.

Is it like comparing a 9700 Pro to a 9800XT, or is it more like comparing a GF2 to a 9800XT?
