OCZ Platinum 1066 or OCZ Reaper X 800?

[Rich'[ard]]

prices have dropped. and these two models have dropped to the same price. i dunno which to get. any suggestions?
i will most likely run FSB at 400-450, and will not go higher than 500.
the Reaper X has better timings than average 800mhz kits, but the Platinum could be underclcok and could possibly achieve the same result maybe?

any suggestions? :)

where do you get your gear from?

me an albyno are both melb based

[Rich'[ard]]

ahh, melbournians! so i'm not alone =]
mostly MSY. asian ftw xD
but for parts not available there, i go to CPL, Scorptec or PC Case Gear.
if i wanna get the Reaper X, it's $165 at CPL and the Platinum is $149 at MSY.
so they're just a few bucks apart, i want the better performing one.

i've got the 800 platinum.....and have been looking at getting some 1066 to get better speeds. i'm really happy with my platinum.....and have been looking at the reapers for 1066....

hes jsut ****ed he cant get 3.6 as well :)

[Rich'[ard]]

lol.
i was just wondering if anyone new if what timings the platinum 1066mhz could do at 800mhz, as i won't be running them at a much higher speed. the Reaper X as good timings for 4-4-3-15, but i doubt they could be lowered anymore.
does anyone know what ic's these kits are using?

You can use RAM dividers on your motherboard to make the RAM run a higher FSB than your CPU btw

The 1066MHz Reapers use Micron D9 GMH's [The ones that OC well + good timings]

oh really? i read they use Powerchip. or are the modules on the 2gb kit and 4gb kit different? :confused:

if they're Micron D9, i will def get them.

Hello mate. What freqency did you choose ? hyper X 800 or those 1000 MHZ? Thank you for the reply. Waiting for RMA of my Corsairs XMS2 , maybe they get those reapers instead of those.

D9s are not used on either. Powercips on the Reaper X (best choice).
D9s may still be on the Reaper 9600, but not 8500s.

Well i see you have gone with Reaper X! Good choice :thup:
