Which Mushkin Redline is right for my 3500 Winnie/3000 Venice?
Guys,
I'm looking to get some temporary RAM while I RMA my G.skill LC 1gb kit and was looking at the raves of Mushkin Redline. I have the DFI Ultra-D board to give it the volts it needs, but not sure if the RAM will give me the clocks I want to reach good speeds with my processors.
I have a 3500 Winnie that walls at 2610 (290x9) stable with TCCD G.skill LC 2x512.
Based on my maximum clocks and higher multiplier with the 3500 Winnie (11x) what would be the best Mushkin Redline to get? I get about 7800MB/s at 9x290 with my Winnie. Could I get similar bandwidth using Redlines @ 2-2-2 and the 11x multi on the winnie?
I see most sets reach around 250 (??)
250x11 = 2750 which is above my chip's limit.
240x11 is about the limit on the Winnie (<2640).
If I use the 10x multi I would need RAM that does ~260 for 261x10 = ~2610.
Would it be smarter to go for XP4000 to attempt to do 260 or get something rated lower and use the power of my multiplier to get a higher clock?
I do have my XP120 that overhangs my RAM with a Delta 120 High-Speed so the RAM could be kept fairly cool.
