PapaLaz Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi, I'm thinking of buying a set of TWINX1024-3200C2PT, but am looking to overclock it and thought I'd check it out here first. Initially I'll be running it on an MSI 875P with a P4 3.0c - running with FSB@240 and would like to run the memory at 1:1 (not too bothered about relaxing the timings). Are these settings likely to work ? I don't mind if it doesn't quite hit 240, but would like to get close, as the CPU runs happily 3.0c@3.6. Second question, I'll be upgrading at some point to a NF4/64 setup, probably with either the ASUS or MSI boards (not going SLi route). Are there any compatability probs with this RAM with A64s or these baords ? Thx in advance for your help. PapaLaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The 320C2's would'nt be the best overclockers. I'd recommend the TWINX1024-4400C25's. You'd be able to get a high frequency with decent timings. On the other hand. The TWINX1024-3200XL's would probably get the job done also. You would'nt be able to go as high with the speed, but these would be a good choice if you plan on switching to an A64 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaLaz Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Thanks for the reply - too late tho as I already went and purchased the 3200C2's :biggrin: Am very impressed, they ran at 240 with timings dropped to 3-4-4-8, so I upped the timings to 2.5-4-4-8 and all is sweet :D: Are the C2's still ok with an A64 system ?? If not I might look at some of the XL's when I make the upgrade. Thx again PapaLaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Not a bad overclock..........good job. The 3200C2's would work fine in a A64 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remaxJay Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have 1.5gb of ram which consists of 3x512mb 3200C2PT in my DFI Lanparty NF3 motherboard. I started off with a single 512mb stick at 2.5-3-3-6, but I guess I got a little greedy and didn't want to let the other 2 slots go to waste so I purchased a twin pack =] Are there any settings that I should tweak in order to get the most out of the 3 sticks or ram? I've seen many people with the 1gb setup, but not the 1.5gb that I am running. One last note... my motherboard does not support dual channel memory, so it's all running in single channel. Thanks in advance! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Try 3-3-3-8. What is the revision of each stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remaxJay Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks for the reply... The original stick is v4.1 and the other 2 sticks are v4.2 Also, when I try to run the memory benchmark test in SiSoftware Sandra with all 3 sticks in, it gives me the error "Windows is out of memory or resources. Close down some applications." Everything used to test out fine when I only had the single 512mb stick. One thing that was suggested to me was that I adjust my virtual memory, but that didn't resolve it. Any other ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
