Apacer doing 5-3-3-2Cl @ 400DDR - is it good?

As I ordered 2x512 MB 400DDR sticks of Apacer, I thought these have at least Infineons or Samsungs in it. But that was a noname.
Before I shipped it back, ´cause I thought they were bad, I decided to make a little test on my NF7S and ... wow. I am no profi in all this memory special tunnings, but running 400 at 7-4-4-2,5CL in SPD is already much speedy. After tunning and some lock ups the final speed was 5-3-3 CL2(!) with a standart Voltage, but I do pumped 0.1 Volts more to insure better stability, even I It ran all tests with std. Voltage with no problemo.

Now the big question:

Is it fast enough for 2x60$ ?

Try higher voltage and see how high they can go...
Thos speeds are decent but try for higher...

That's not bad at all. At those speeds and timings I would keep it.
That's decent memory.
I think it'll go higher with some more Vmem.

As a general rule Apacer memory is made for stability at stock speeds. Anything you get past that is anyone's geuss. Just out of curiosity, what was the "no name"?

not bad, up the voltage and see how high you get

What the "no name" is? .... must look, just give me a couple of days(have exams at the University now).
By the way, I achieved 4-3-3-2cl without VMem rising!

If your lucky enough, no name != bad. I've been using some brandless ram for sometime now at 5x2x2x2 and its been doing fine. I haven't checked what chips it used because of the heatspreader that came with it and it hasn't cause any problems. But for the $70 per stick that I paid a couple of months back, its an awesome deal. Even though I haven't been able to get it to run at 200mhz, which I believe is limited by the mobo, its still a steal.

Dunno... my Samsung PC2700 (rated for CL2.5) can do DDR400 @ 5-2-2-2, but then it's slightly (by $5, I think) more expensive than the Apacer. If you're content with an FSB of 200, then by all means keep it.

The chips are marked "PSC" with a quad-like logo on it.
Rated 5ns.
According to the Apacer sticker, the modules are rated DDR400 cl2.5

My two NF7-S`s (i have 4x512MB modules totally) detect their SPD as 7-4-4 CL2.5 as DDR400 and 5-4-4 CL2 as DDR333
As I already said - now working with 4-3-3 CL2 @DualDDR400
