Hi!
I loving this whole new world of oc'ing and am wanting to change my 4 1gb sticks over to 2 2gb sticks to achieve a better oc.
With only 2 sticks I can oc much further at 800mzh with the 4-4-4-12 timings whereas with 4 sticks I have to lower to 5-5-5-15 and 667mhz well before I reach my cpu's max oc and the cpu also seems to heat up more.
MSI states about my m/b, "DDR2 1000MHz must achieve via overclocking" meaning there is no option in bios to set RAM faster than 800mhz.
Should I be looking for a ddr 1066 kit or a 800 kit???
I notice most of the 1066 kits only get as low as 5-5-5-15 with timings but I'm assuming most 800 kits would have to be lowered to that anyway with higher oc's??? right??
To sum up, 800 or 1066?
Is there a good 800 4gb kit that can oc beyond 900mhz at 4-4-4-12?
Will I even notice a difference between CL4 and CL5? 3dMark just does.
Or is a 1066mhz 4gb kit the way to go?? Not much price difference at all.
Thanks guys, sorry for the rant but i seem to be traveling in circles right now and cant decide.
