OCZ VX gold vs or G.Skill TCCD?

my system:
-3000+ (supposedly can hit 2.6)
-DFI NF4 ultra-d
-550W antec tcontrol

which RAM?

NF4 and TCCD makes for a very good combo. I would suggest the G.Skill or possibly one of OCZ's TCCD products.

What is your goal?..... high clocks or low latancies? You want high high clocks go with the GSkill..... if you want low latancies go with the OCZ VX Gold.
 
My vote goes to VX, but its really personal preference. Since you have 4 volts available, why not use it? On the same note, with that 3000 winnie and a 9x multiplier, you may be running it async. Not really a bad thing, but just a thought. Really, there is no bad choice here.

I own both :)

If you have voltage, get some PC-4000 Gold VX. I don't know if you want my suggestion, as I work for OCZ, but I will tell you that the Gold VX 4000, if you have the voltage, will best the TCCD products that we make.

Hey sean..... what kind of clocks and latancies are you getting with that stuff?
 
Was the description of the OCZ changed to VX after I posted?

Heck, just get both and you'll have the "best of both worlds". Of course, you'll have lots less cash, too. :)
 
High overclocks for sure. My CPU can do 325*8 (im pretty sure). G.Skills then? Will they be able to hit 290mhz at CL2.5? I want it to do 290 so I can run at 290*9 at 1:1 or 325:8 at 180mhz divider.

Give me an idea of max speeds at 2-2-2-5, and at 2.5-3-3-7 that can be done by both G.Skill and VX
 
For the SKills

5-2-2-2 around 220 or so max

7-3-3-2.5 would be around 300 or so HTT...if you go with the LE's...

Also this would depend if your MB will allow the CPU and memory to run at those settings with 1:1 timings...
 
^what mobo can't run 1:1? And of all mobos surely my DFI will do it

and it only does 220 2-2-2-5? o_O are all TCCD's that bad at low latency?

ANd what about VX? I hear they can go up to 250@2-2-2-5 but cant go as high as G.SKill TCCD at CL2.5
 
Not all mobos will...everything has a wall...and like the NEO2's...most (NEO2's) have a wall of 299 in DC...

My MB's wall is 298 perfectly stable...299 errors out and not because of the memory...the wall in single is 315...and once again...not from the memory...now the CPU's was is 355...and since the MB is holding me back...I have no idea what the rams max on HTT actually is...

ANd that is about normal for TCCD's at cas 2...
 
My money would be on the VX running dividers to keep it at 2-2-2 and 1T, run the CPU as fast as possible. The HTT setting makes almost zero difference on A64 as has been shown many times in many threads. Also no advantage outside of benchmarks will you get by running ram at crazy speeds and rediculous voltages, gaming and regular use is just as good with tight timings and less system heat/stress....
