Who Makes The Best RAM?

[DarkFury]

lol your right about OCZ and looks , but ive owned a pair of the Flex OCZ and i returned them so damn quick , it pretty much CUT the flow out of my loop ... lol

im guessing with that ram you MUST have a seperate loop for it -.-

If by loop you mean separate frequency, yes. I can set the ram clock at a ratio of the fsb. I have an 'old' board by computer standards, that being anything older than a year from beginning of production. I use an Abit IP35 Pro and find it quite adequate for now. When the new i7 chips and boards start getting reasonable in price I may upgrade, but theres still plenty of speed in the Abit I haven't tapped yet. I use a q8200 cpu o/c'ed to 2.9ghz.

corsair

ive used other ram and had problems with it reading and then having issues with it not working, i have never had an issue with corsair, they make good fast ram. and they do pretty well when it comes to overclocking.

gskill for the price/perfomance

NO, OCZ flex is watercooled... loop = watercooling loop not freq.

The gap between the 1st thread and this thread is around 3 years; this thread is almost 4 years old now.

My pick in this order (double line means is far better)

Super Talent

Mushkin
Corsair - G Skill - Wintec
Patriot
OZC - Geil
Kingston

P.S.: Make a new thread

Hey, I'm changing my vote from however many years ago I cast it. After buying OCZ for my the last 5 builds I am done with them. I think they are starting to live off their good name, which means it won't be good all that much longer. Next time it's Corsair or GSkill for me.

iv got to cast my vote to ocz
ddr2 1150 running at ddr3 1333 speed
12.2gbp/s

Aren't Gskill, OCZ, Corsair simply resellers?

The only chip manufacturers I know are:

Hynix
Samsung
Micron Tech.
TwinMOS

You are basically correct about the chips, but there is much more that goes into making the ram itself. The PCB, binning and quality control can make a world of difference. That's where the brands come into play.

well corsair dominators.throw what you like at em.

 

[LouisM]

First instinct was corsair, second was OCZ. Love my new geil though.

 

[downer]

I may be hated for it, but I voted for Crucial. I haven't had any problems with several sets of D9's. Hopefully it stays that way.

I've used Crucial in the past as well, and never had any problems. In fact, Crucial was the first company I ever bought RAM from.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Corsair easily. Just look at their ddr3, it practically looks as fast as it is!

 

[werty316]

I am spit between OCZ and Corsair however I would have to go with the latter.

我第一个内存是金世顿的,呵呵/my first ram is kingston,hehe
