Go with the G. Skills...just got done doing some latency test...and you will get the better OC with the lower latency with the G. Skills...

(Dual Channel)

275x10 8-4-4-2.5 = 38.4ns
275x10 5-3-3-2.5 = 36.5ns

(single channel)

275x10 8-4-4-2.5 = 39.0ns
275x10 5-3-3-2.5 = 37.3ns
278x9 5-3-3-2.5 = 39.1

(have screenies if anyone is interested)

Very few OCZ will run at 5-3-3-2.5 at 275 (5-3-4-2.5 is 100% stable)...

Also...dont let people tell you running cheap ram async will keep up with good TCCD running 1:1...in latency...because they wont..

Sucka will probaly be posting in this thread...they are running a FX-55 with G. Skill LE's

Picture is worth a thousand words, a few of which would include "Get G.skill, it rocks". Also, on the NF4's you're gonna be able to break 300HTT, these Neo2's just can't do it stable.

thanx for replys

ive a big grin on my face when i seen what you both posted impressive ...

I own LE's. Got one of the first sets as this stuff started coming out (before Newegg and all the others carried it). Not sure if i've got good sticks, or this is the standard. Either way, i'm happy with my results. Can't wait to test it on a NF4 in a few months when i move to PCI-E

That's right. It's rated at 2-2-2-5 @ 200MHz, OR 2.5-3-3-7 @ 275MHz

glock19owner · Feb 6, 2005

now LA is PC3200/PC4800 (DDR600) rated...5-2-2-2/8-4-4-2.5...most can run at or around 6-3-3-2.5 DDR600 though...

The only bad thing about the LA's are...the 1G DC kit is 2T rated while the 512 DC kit is 1T rated...but some members at XS have been able to run there 1G LA kits at 1T...but this is a poke and hope on the 1T with the 1G LA kit...

spiritedandy · Feb 7, 2005
