buying new Trancend ram..

[coolsunny]

i want to buy new ram.i'll go for trancend 512 mb ddr400 with 2.5 latencies.
i want to overclock my pc upto 2.2Ghz.which will increase the RAM speed beyond 210 mhz.is it safe for ram or it'll be fried' ?
i heard trancend rams can withstand higher speed.u can suggest anything else.
the seller asking 2950bucks.& 2000 exchanging my 256 mb dynet rams.ram price increased a lot.is it ok?

if u wanna overclock rams then u can also tryout CORSAIR ones....

also these can be used Mushkin, GeIL, Kingston, and OCZ ..if u get them.....
and i hope u knwo how to overclock RAMs

Yes..........Transcend can go upto 420MHz with no probs.....
What matter is that the chips they r based on...

Try to get Transcend based on Samsung UCCC chips......they can run stabily @250MHz....i.e DDR 500MHz!!...

Or the ones based on ''Hynix D43'' chips also oc well....I have those....they r rated..3 CAS latency....but I run@2.5 stable(Prime95 & memtest) its also stable @2 (but did'nt test prime95 and memtest)...

Although I havent tried oc'ing this memory, (coz of mobo)....but i think they can go till 450+MHz......

Its better to get 512X2 .and run them in dual channel.....u will surely get better mem read/writes....
SO even it envolves memory running 20MHz slower,it dosen't matter!

i dont want to overclock ram.i just want to increase the fsb uto 240 .with increasing fsb the ram speed also increases.i observed it by lowering ram speed to 166 & then increasing the fsb to 240 frm 200. the ram speed goes upto 197.
i want to do the same with default ram speed ie. 200.
so i want a ram which can withstand upto 240 mhz speed.any body tried this with A8N VM mobo.

 

[samrulez]

Any good memory will go upto 240MHz i.e 480MHz...now that's an serious OC....
So its better to run them in dual channel and run them @197 i.e 394MHz....

So u won't be missing much on read/writes.....

i visited www.transcendusa.com .but didn't find any Transcend based on Samsung UCCC chips. is it easily available? & how much it costs?
any A8N VM overclocker here.

A8N-VM isn't exactly a solid overclocker.

its max fsb can go upto 240..i just updated my bios yesterday.i also oced it for 7-8 days after decrasing the ram speed.
any one find problems ocing this mobo ?
