View Full Version : Best Ram Combo w/DFI?

With my recent installation of the XP-120, my 3000+ has been able to run 300 x 9 in a cool and stable situation. The only problem is my "oc system" (terrible) ram that I bought off a friend for 10$. Some dividers on the motherboard refuse to work with it and the memory craps out around 220 1:1.

So I need the best combination of 512 x 2 or 1024 x 2 (if you can convince me) to run with my 300htt. My first choice is the OCZ Platinum Rev 2, but I have seen some recent releases of the XP3200 with new TCCD chips? The goal is to spend under 250$ but there is room for some change.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

if your lucky the 3200 will hit 300 :shrug:

Thanks for the response. Looks like the 4200s are just under 200$.

-Persuasion by price? Still debating.

I might have to get these for just 149$ :rolleyes:

IMO, the best bang-per-buck RAM right now is the Patriot. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220018)
Here is mine running 1:1, Prime stable in the Everest latency test...

there's nothing wrong with those 3200's a fellow forum member just got a pair of TCCD and they are doing 300, that patriot is good also, but OCZ is mucher better quality heatspreaders.

I've had my hands on 5 sets of the patriot XBLK's and 3 sets clocked good and 2 sets clocked like crap and they run much warmer than the OCZ's
