9700 ram chip codes question

I read in another post that Hynix chips containing F-36 on the second line, were 3.6 Ns chips.

The chips on my Powercolor 9700 Pro have F-28 on the second line.

Does this mean this is 2.8 ns memory?

If so, should I not have a theoretical ceiling of around 355 MHz?

Cause I can only get to 315 MHz before getting severe artifacts, which is kinda ****ing me off, after reading other people's OC's.

Thoughts anyone?

I put the Zalman 80HP cooler on the core, with a fan on it, and that overclocks nicely (365 MHz). Now I need to get my ram up there. I have regular ramsinks for the front, but at the back I need low-profile ramsinks and I'm having a hard time finding it.

Help anyone/

yes thats correct.


Why dont you make your own custom ramsinks by cutting and old cooler down to the size u need.

it could also be the bios. Now im not to hot in bios's, but a lot of people have had success with mufu's bios. if you do a search for mufu im sure you'll find what you need.

Thanks, I'll do a search on 'Mufu' and Bios and see what I come up with.
