My Corsair PC5300 OC higher than PQI 5300?

Hey guys,

I'm not quite sure how its possible that my Corsair XMS2-PC5300 overclocks higher than the PQI Turbo PC2-5300 but they do!

My PQI's have maxed out at 800MHz, but my Corsairs are benching 912MHz right now!!

I thought my PQI's have D9's while my XMS2's have ProMOS?

Now I can get my celeron maxed out!! SWEET!

well depending on the model of corsair they have promos. the pc2-6400-C4's kit i had V2.1 were promos later kits where changed to ELP ic's. my promos stuff did ddr2-1xxx with 2.3v 5-5-5-14.

IIRC it's the PC2-5400C4 Rev 7.1 which is listed as ProMOS
