Cell Shock 1066 2gb DDR2 memory for $72 shipped to USA

[TranceBear]

Not a bad price for cherry picked chips. Details from their website:

2GB DDR2 1066MHz memory kit from CellShock. Great choice for superb overclocking. Two matched 1GB modules equipped with CellShocks cool black heatspreaders. 8-layer PCB and built with Micron D9GMH 64Mx8 chips.

This memory kit is one of the best choices for extreme overclocking. CellShock has a proven record of manufacturing extreme memory and this PC2-8500 kit is no different.

Rated 1150MHz at 2.3V-2.4V. Covered by CellShocks 5-year warranty.

My shipping to Denver was the price I stated but since they are coming from Germany they should be the same for most of the US.

cellshock? i have NEVER heard of them.... 1150mhz @ 2.3-2.4v @ 5-5-5-15 is NOTHING special

My cheapie set of OCZ vista upgrade 2x1gb kit DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 that i got for 25 bucks shipped does 1150mhz @ 1.9v @ 5-5-5-15..

Sorry IMO not a deal at 72 bucks... better and more ram can be had for much cheaper.

Google.

If you never have heard of them then how do you know yours is better? I really wish more people would think before they type. This information is for people who have heard of this memory and have found it hard to find here in the USA. If you have nothing to contribute then move on please.

Here is an example of something to contribute:

Wow, that seems high for 1066 memory. What makes these sticks worth the extra money since I have not heard of them before.

Etiquette !!!

this is actually a great deal if you are into benching and still use ddr2. The binning that cell shock does is a step above what crucial does with the old ballistix line that used these chips

cell shock is big in europe and usually is very expensive. Also the warranty is great to have for such high binned d9 chips

however this certainly isnt memory for the average user

im just going against other more name brand ram ... 1150mhz @ 2.4v @ 5-5-5-15 isnt really spectacular. am i wrong here?

Your memory was rated at a certain speed and it did a lot more. Cell Shock is known to go much higher than it's rated speed and do it with ultra low timings. It can usually handle more voltage than most other DDR2. If we all bought memory and only used it according to it's rated speed we would not have 4ghz CPU's. The potential of this memory is worth buying it and seeing what it can do. When OCZ and Mushkin came around in the late 90's and all we had in high-end memory was Crucial and a few others, Aren't we glad we gave them a chance?

Enough of this. I created this post to show a good deal on specialized memory.

maybe if you posted up some links of what this stuff can do... Im not saying its not a deal for the people who know what it is but when one can do 1200mhz on 25dollar ocz stuff which would be 600fsb @ 1:1 your talkin 5.4ghz @ a 9x multi (e8400), i just dont see the point to spend 75 bucks for something that you can easily get for under 50.

On the otherhand if this stuff does super clock then it might be worth it.

I spent my time researching it, I and a lot of other people here like it. Feel free to Google it. Like I said I am done with this thread.

never heard of cellshock LOL and I thought this was ocforums not nbforums....

cell shock are catered for the hardcore crew. For the average joe I believe a nice $20 AR+shipping Crucial DDR2s will be more than sufficient. Linky: http://www.frys.com/product/5711782

This batch can clock to north of 1100 with enough voltage from newegg reviews. Not too shabby for the meager cash you pay and 4GB kit too.
