psYcoSix Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The Setup: Abit IC7-Max3 Pentium 4 2.8c Antec True 460w Abit GeForce 4 Ti4200 8x OTES 128mb The Questions: 1. I would like to clock my 2.8c to somthing around 3GHz, and I am wondering should I get the ram faster than the FSB so it's underclocked, or should I get ram that is lower than the fsb and overclock it as well? 2. What Memory should I use to do this? It must be 1GB and Dual Channel. (Theory): An example 2.8c (14x200FSB=2800MHz) ram only needing to be PC3200 at this point, but if I clock the FSB to say 215MHz and raise the chip to 3010MHz, what kind of ram will I need for this application? Should I clock PC3200 to 215MHz? or Should I get somthing higher like PC3700 and clock it down to 215MHz? It sounds to me like underclocking the ram would be better, but thats why I am asking the Ram Guy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 18, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 18, 2004 Underclocking the memory would be the best bet. I would suggest the Twinx1024-4000 series memory. This will allow you to over clock all you want with that CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psYcoSix Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Thanks so much Ramguy :D But couldn't I use Corsair XMS TWINX1024-3700 instead since I am not even overclocking that high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
