yunvme Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I want to overclock but my primary concern is stability. What is the best speed/overclocking potential with great stability? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st_trooper Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 PC4000... depending on the CPU you have (3.0 or 3.2), you might want to stick with PC3500 (but that maybe harder to find) as you can't overclock those CPUs as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunvme Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 I have purchased a 3.0, is 3500 my best bet? How stable is the 4000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 The PC4000 is VERY stable. If you can find the PC3500, go with it IMO. If not, I'd get the PC4000 like the trooper said. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunvme Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 What about 3700? How does this compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by yunvme [/i] [B]What about 3700? How does this compare? [/B][/QUOTE] The PC3700 is very good RAM. It will usually, though not always, overclock very well. I see many people running it at or near DDR500. It is a solid Corsair stick. That said, the PC4000 is made with a faster IC and will also run tighter timings. The PC3700 will only run 3,4,4,8. So, IMO, for about the same money, buy the PC4000. Good luck, you'd be safe with either. RAM is like a hammer, it works or it doesn't. The Corsair stuff is well made and is stable. If you have stability problems, it's probably something else in the system or a bios configuration. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
